Jog-a-thon

The Track

The 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th graders had to jog / walk for 30 minutes. And yes, that is AstroTurf. It is a very nice track.

Here is Morgan jogging, but it does not last very long. She was able to complete 5 laps. One kid in her class did 11 laps, that is almost 3 miles!

Morgan's class celebrating their hard work.

Madison's class getting ready to start.

24 pints of 'pear'sauce

The First Day School

The first day of school. I wonder how long those white shirts will stay white!!
Morgan starts 5th grade and Madison starts 2nd grade at their new shcool. They are both a bit excited and nervous about going to their new shcool. It is huge!! 750+ students. But they are excited about wearing their school uniforms.

Michaela's first haircut

Michaela has been dying to get her hair cut. I usually wait until they start kindergarten to chop all of their hair off. Michaela's hair was just so thick and heavy, that none of the styles that I did for her would stay very long. So she got her hair cut a year early. The next step is to mail that braid off to Locks of Love. Michaela is very proud of her donation.
