Open House

Last night was the open house at the elementary school where our kids attend.  We went to Emma and Benjamin's classrooms to see their work.  Emma had a cute project of the phases of a butterfly, but where she was the caterpillar turning into the butterfly!  She has this smirk on her face like she knows how cute and silly she is.



After visiting the classrooms, I helped out with a fitness activity for the school.  The fitness activity was possible because of Rachel's miraculous results earning money for the school from well organized Box Tops drives done smart.  The school was donated lots of balls because of it for the purpose of giving them away in a fitness activity.  In our fitness activity, kids rotated different stations to learn about different types of excercise and practice a little bit.  They earned tickets along the way that were put into a drawing to win some playground balls.  I was the cardiovascular station and the kids did 25 jumping jacks to earn a ticket.  Emma sure had fun!



Then we had the drawing.  Our kids were extremely anxious about winning a ball.  Problem was that there were so many numbers being read over the loudspeaker, they were never sure if it was one of theirs.  In the end both Benjamin and Emma won balls!



I think Emma is going to be a politician; her platform:  peace.
