Janet came to visit and Evan had a chance to hang out with his Aunt. Garrett was away at camp, so Evan had undivided attention. We saw Harry Potter and the Order of the Pheonix, and played miniature golf.
This past week Evan built robot Legos. Most moved on wheels but the robot dog moved legs, separately. The cars, a 4 wheeled and a 6 wheeled car, could be programmed to move left, right, in circles, even zig-zag. Evan was given a certificate for "Speediest Builder."
Evan has a new cartoon character, Croc. In the top cartoon, some guy is talking, interminably, so Croc paints over the guy's cartoon bubble. The second cartoon is self evident.
I took a vacation day and helped at Evan's school during Field Day. I was assigned to the 'Fire Starter/Fighter' station. 'Fire Starters' prop up orange 'fire' cones, while 'Fire Fighters' knock out the 'fires' with soccer balls.
The scene was chaotic, but the kids got quite a workout.
Each class visited each station for 15 minutes, and there were 10 classes. In the middle there was a 1/2 hour break. Thankfully!
Evan's 2nd grade class came by the Fire Starter/Fighter station for the first 15 minutes, and I took a lot of pictures.
They were tired and hot by the end of their 15 minutes, so they took a water break.
In Evan's class there are 10 girls and 9 boys, including Evan.
This is Mrs. H, Evan's teacher. She's been at the school for 17 years.
Off they go, to the next station.
I was going to end with Mrs. H's class leaving, but then decided to add this one from the other 2nd grade, Mr. M's class.
For Mother's Day Garrett and Walter cooked breakfast and dinner.
Dinner was a production: lamb chops baked with cranberry and orange stuffing, green beans, and chocolate custard for desert.
It was delicious!
Evan made two Mother's Day cards and a pair of clip earrings, courtesy of his new school, which I wore nearly all day.
