Picnic Day....................
Friday was picnic day at Lincoln School
and also for Baby Talk. Ultimately I
was able to devote one hour to each of
the boys. First I went to Ethan's
kindergarten where the theme was
a day at the beach.
We made star fish pins and Aloha frames
to hold a class photo.
They had Burger King for lunch
and Tropical Snow for a snack.
Next was an hour with the fourth grade, they were already outside when I got there. They did several activities. Thier theme was down on the farm. This was very suitable because they just finished thier chicken unit. They did some really silly relay races. Then they had time for yearbook signing. I had to chuckle when the teacher told them bluntly that if you don't want your mother to read it don't put it in writing. Now there is a life lesson! After that they had a sunflower seed spitting contest! Yes a spitting contest! How gross was that..............but they really had fun with that. After that was the egg toss. Ezra and Damon were doing really well until Ezra caught the egg with his ankle!!! What a mess. I did not get to stay for the udder toss, but I heard that it was great too. (they were medical gloves filled like water balloons)
Then was the Baby Talk picnic which was held at the Williamson County Pavillion. We did so many things there. From sand art to giant bubble blowing; the duck pond game to cookie decorating; digging in birdseed to digging out fossils. We had pizza for lunch and then left with a bag full of goodies. We finished up by having our car seats inspected to be sure they are installed properly. What a busy time! We saw so many of our friends here............
