May....The "Let's Wrap It Up" Month!

May was fun and busy...we had lots of activities that had "end of the year" celebrations...Emma's 3K, Emma's gymnastics, Addie's gymnastics, Paul's Egyptian Day, Addie's awards day, Paul's awards day, Paul's team party for baseball. These pictures are just some highlights of these days.





Paul's Egyptian Day was the culmination of a year long study in 2nd grade of Egypt. He's learned more than I would ever want to know about Egypt! 8-)



Also during May, we celebrated Addie's 7th birthday. Poor middle kid got the shaft this year! 8-( She had one friend over to go see a movie, eat pizza, and spend the night. So we had a cake that night and then I took cupcakes to school. No party this year...definitely next year!


On the last day of school, Covenant Academy does an Awards Day. Each class has Character Awards in their classroom. These are special awards because the teacher talks about each child and what character quality they saw displayed in them the most throughout the year. Mrs. Wilkins gave Paul the "Dependability" character award and Mrs. Bankson gave Addie the "Helpfulness" character award. They both received "Honor A awards". It was a special day!


Paul played on a rec league team "The Braves". They had a great season! Paul played shortstop and pitched. It was a lot of fun to watch. He had an awesome head coach, Brian Roper. Brian is a wonderful coach who Paul loves! We had a fun party to end the year...grilled out, gave out trophies, and had a parent vs. kid tball game!

Baseball, baseball, baseball.....

....is that all we do??? My only pictures since Easter are of baseball. I feel like we do a lot more than just baseball but I don't have pictures to prove it. 8-) Paul is wrapping up his season with the rec league and has been having a lot of fun. He is on the Braves and usually either pitches or plays shortstop.




His Macon Storm travel team had a tournament a couple of weeks ago that they won. It was a great time...Emma even enjoyed herself...by playing in the dirt.






We watched the Kentucky Derby with friends and the kids had a great time cheering for the horses they picked. Candy & quarters were our pay-outs!


Paul & Addie played in an Intramural Basketball league at Covenant Academy this Spring and had a great time playing basketball with their friends.





We've had a wonderful Spring full of fun activities. We are excited for school to be ending and are looking forward to the summer ahead! Paul & Addie are going to be in the Wizard of Oz the end of May in Fort Valley with their Children's Theater program. Paul is the Tin Man and Addie is a Munchkin...they are so excited! May is going to be busy with end of school activities, Wizard of Oz practices and 2 performances, Addie's 7th birthday, baseball games with the Braves team, and a Macon Storm tournament. We'll be ready for June! It will be full of pool, pool, pool and more pool! 8-)
