May Madness

May is one of our busiest months of the year.  Here are just a few things that we were up to.

Friday, May 1, 2015

Hummel ES has dress up days about once a month. May was Crazy Hat Day.  We forgot and found these things in my office.  I love that Seth will wear super silly things without being embarrassed.

Lex went to see Avengers with her friends,but we took the Littles.

The boys went on the Father and Son camp out and took the Peery boys who were in town. April and I went to get ice cream and catch up that night. The next morning we had a Ward breakfast for all the women of the ward.

Later that night, when the boys had gotten back, we had the Peerys over for dinner.  It was so good to see them again. Even after a year, Mason is still Seth's best friend.

I had a great Mother's Day. I got breakfast in bed and Seth organized a salad bar for dinner.  Dave got me fancy new stainless steel pans and a rack for them. They look great, but we are still trying to get used to cooking with them.

Seth's teacher recommended that he be tested for GATE. He got a 98% on the spatial portion of the test and got in.  He only went a few times the year but he really enjoyed it.

Lex went to Walmart with me and found this new lunch box - purple and an elephant!

This spring I held Storytelling Club every Monday after school.  The girls each chose a story and prepared to retell it at an assembly.

The two stories that scored the highest at our school assembly, went on to preform at the  District Bristlecone Storytelling Festival at the Windmill Library.

The girls all did a great job and are looking forward to participating again next year.

Wednesdays

Every Wednesday Ms. Bagheri's Kindergarten class has library right after lunch. Payton likes to boss everyone (in this pic she is yelling at another student who was going to chose the book she wanted) and started to give me pointers on how to improve my appearance.  She suggested earrings, curling my hair, and eye makeup.

One Wednesday I put a little more effort into getting ready in the morning.  I even re-pierced my closed earring hole.  Payton said I looked almost perfect - I still needed high heels and lipstick.  That is where I draw the line.

Alexis' friend Robbie plays lacrosse for the Coronado team.  They had an undefeated season and went on to play in the State Cup Finals.  Robbie had come to one of Seth's baseball games, so Seth wanted to go to Robbie's game.  IT WAS FREEZING! We had on winter coats and got wrapped up in blankets. They played Palo Verde, whom they had previously beat, but they lost.  They rallied at the end, but it was too late. Lacrosse is exciting but confusing to watch.

When Pitch Perfect came out on video, Ryan had the family over to have a Pitch Slap party, so when the sequel came out we wanted to see it together.  It was not quite as good as the 1st one, but was still pretty funny.

Hummel had Career Week at the end of May.  On Thursday, Chris came to talk to the students about being a photographer. Seth said it was the best presentation he went to. On Friday, we had a dress up day.  I dressed up as a cake decorator and Seth dressed up as a baseball player.
