Growing, Goodbye, and Grooving

3-11

20 weeks and counting!!

I brought the kids by Matt's office on his last day. (He drove back to Canon the next day to work there all the following week.) The kids got treats from the snack bar in the break room and decorated the white board outside Matt's cube one last time. We didn't stop by Matt's office too many times (half dozen maybe?) while he worked there. I think it's because it's a bigger office and the fact that he was a district employee. It was special each time we stopped by!

What a sad, empty cubicle. :(

Later that night, Charlie's elementary school was having a Sock Hop fundraiser/family night. We really weren't planning on going but Charlie was so excited about it that we decided to go for an hour. It was pretty fun! All of the kids were experiencing sensory overload at the beginning (notice Molly covering her ears?!), but they eventually relaxed and had a good time. We got some cotton candy for the kids to share. It was a hit! For the last 15 minutes or so, Charlie played with a few friends from his class - mostly just chasing each other around and running back and forth between our family and his friend's. Mrs. Pecorilla was there helping out and made a comment (with her eyebrows raised) about one of her students running non-stop since the beginning of the dance. I got the impression that the level of activity at the dance matched girl's level of activity in the classroom. Yikes! We danced a bit and took it all in. The kids talked about the Sock Hop for the rest of the weekend. It was a fun event!
