Yesterday, the kids’ school reinstated family reading lunch! I am so happy its back – not because I necessarily love sitting in the hallway for a half hour, but because it is GOOD to have school activities back in action after the half of covid and sickness and all the fear surrounding those things.
We are SO grateful that Brady works nearby and could sneak away to join us for a half hour! Dekker may have been uninvested, but he was invested in the reading part 😆
It was really good to see the teachers, meet the kids friends, and put some more names to faces. Brady had to leave after a half hour or so, but the families were invited to join for the school assembly after recess. So Laela kidnapped Wavy for lunch recess, and they played hard! It was really nice to meet Laela’s usual recess buddy, too! He followed Laela’s every move. It was a very cute recess.
We settled in for the school assembly and Dekker, being in the oldest grade, sat furthest to the back. Right in front of us. Sooooo it wasn’t long before she joined him. It was a LOUD assembly!
I can’t post too much from the school, with there being other peoples kids in the backgrounds, but the assembly was a LOT of fun. Their earlier fundraiser earned the kids the opportunity to pie some teachers and students, as well as shaving a head and a beard. Solly was randomly chosen to throw a pie plate of whipped cream at Dekker’s closest friend, which was hilariously cute. Solly LOVED it.
Almost as much as I loved family reading lunch.
Thank you, Brady, for taking this 💜 Its a very special memory for me.
