Meadowview Track Meet 2013

In a variation to a traditional field day, Meadowview has an annual track meet.  Second graders, similar to first graders, had three (3) events - 50 meters, 100 meters and 400 meter races.  Mason's stats were as follows:  50 meters - 3.47 seconds, 100 meters - 11.29 seconds, 400 meters - 57.53 seconds.  

2nd Grade Talent Show

Mason had a hard time deciding on a talent for the 2nd Grade Talent Show.  He was not interested in any of the suggested talent options.  Then it dawned on all of us...cap stacking.  Yes, cup stacking.  A teacher at Anna's had brought in a cup stacking set that Mason had tried and it all went from there.  He even practiced at home and elsewhere with plastic cups.  In preparation for the talent show, we bought Mason is very own "professional" cup stacking set, complete with a special mat and timer.  Parents were not invited to the talent show, but below is our video of some of his practice rounds.  He had such a positive response from other kids that he was even allowed to bring the cups back the following day to share with his friends.  Needless to say, he thought he was a pretty big deal.

Memorial Day Weekend 2013

We made a short trip to the cabin for a chilly Memorial Day weekend to celebrate Grandma Geralyn's 60th Brithday.  Despite the colder weather, we still managed to have fun boating, driving Coop's remote control boat, fishing (despite the minute that Coop got a hook stuck in the back of his head), bonfire, smores and family.

Happy Mother's Day 2013

It was the year of necklaces for Mother's Day.  Not only did I get a long coveted initial necklace, but each of the boys made me a necklace at school along with other goodies.  This mama happily wore all three necklaces to Mother's Day brunch.  Thanks to all my boys for a special day!
