Spring is in full bloom and so are our activities. Between dance practice, football training and the occasional game (most of them are rained out), work, field trips and concerts we have been quite busy. Amelia had her second grade field trip to the Nashville Children's Theater last Thursday to see the "The Very Hungry Caterpillar Show". Due to space limitations, parents were not allowed to join them at the theater but were able to meet the kids at the park afterwards for a picnic.
Last week, both of our the children had their Spring Concerts at their respective schools. First up were the 2nd graders in the "Missing Tarts", a nursery rhyme collection. Amelia played the Xylophone and sang in the choir. The dress code was "nursery rhyme" inspired and the Hungarian dress my mom brought from her trip there was the perfect match.
Ready to go:
Even the teachers participated, although they didn't memorize their lines like the children did. But the children loved when Mrs. Ingham attempted to do "the Floss".
She was so proud to be a Glockenspiel player:
It was a very cute performance and all the children did a great job.Very proud of our little girl!
Next up was Elliot's concert at his Christian preschool. This included not only the preschoolers but also their elementary school children. He was in the choir and they performed 4 songs.
But we also took some time to play outdoors and soak up some sunshine. Preferably with a book in our hands...daughter like mother:
Enjoying the sunshine with our furry friends:
Since both of our families live quite far from us, I had to step in on Grandparents Day at Amelia's School. It wasn't the same as having them here to join her for a special treat and to explore the book fair, but it was the second best thing (especially as she and her brother ended up with a new book each). Those are the days we miss having Oma & Opa and Grandma & Pops nearby the most.
