On the Sunday, the 20th, Bennett's baseball team had an end-of-the-season pool party.
The boys started out with a little swimming.
This is a cool sign that our team mom made for the games - Bennett is the last one on the left. Go Cards!
Coach Kevin called all the boys up one at a time and gave them their trophies. Bennett was SO excited!
The the boys each took the coaches' trophies and passed them down the line, each boys saying something special about the coach. Such a great idea!
In case you haven't gotten it yet, we had a GREAT baseball season. Did we win the championship? Nope. Far from it. But, we had great boys and parents on our team and we had a great time. That's all that matters!
May 21-23
The last week of school. The last week of 3rd grade. The last week at our OMES.
I'm not gonna lie - I was an emotional mess this week.
So thankful for all of the good times.
So sad to be leaving this wonderful place.
And, to be honest, a little scared of the 'unknown' - the new school next year.
But, that's what life is all about, right? Moving forward. Growing. Looking forward to new adventures. (and please keep in mind that I was the ONLY one in our family that was feeling anything other than pure elation at the thought of the end of school :)
So, without further sappiness (I'll TRY to spare you, but I can't promise anything!), here are the last week details:
The book we made for Bennett's teacher:
And, just to show you how funny Brad is - earlier this year, Brad went in to the class to talk about the heart. Apparently, while he was sitting ever-so-calmly in Mrs. Hardy's chair (which was like a director's chair) the chair fell apart, leaving Brad to crash to the ground. This made quite an impression on the class, as evidenced by the fact that he was mentioned numerous times as 'The funniest thing that happened in 3rd grade'.
Good job, honey!
This is getting kind of lengthy, so I'll break it up into 2 posts... stay tuned :)
