The girls have had a couple of things going on at the school that I have failed to post until now. The first thing was Alyssa's 3rd Grade Devotional. She got to be Helen Keller, which she was very excited about. She had a pretty long speaking part and also got to thank everyone for coming at the end. She especially loved her bright costume and front-and-center seat that made her stand out on stage. The children all did a really great job and it was fun to go and support her. I also helped out with their "We did a Great Job" Party after the devotional was over.
Ashley's class finished reading a book about Abigail Adams and they had a tea party to celebrate. She got to wear a fancy church dress(which is always a treat since they usually wear uniforms) and dance with a BOY. She wasn't so excited about the dancing part and wanted to stay home because of it. However, I promised her that Tyler and I would come and that somehow made it okay. She said afterwards that the dancing part was actually kind of fun. But she switched partners after about a minute and had a chance to dance with her teacher and with her favorite friend in the class(a girl named Kaci).
Ashley's class also had a field trip to the aquarium that I was able to chaperone. We had 3 of Ashley's favorite friends in our group, but the only boy spent most of the day with his Mom who had met the class there. The three girls were easy to keep together and they had a lot of fun. I was glad that I was able to go.
The boy did join up with us again for the last hour of the day and he was also pretty easy.
I just wish I could figure out how to get to know these kids' parents so that I could arrange a play date for Ashely. She has been asking for one all year.
