My last post was about winter break, and now we're getting ready to head out of town for spring break! The last several weeks have been super busy and more than a healthy amount of stressful. I am so glad to have arrived at a break that we all need.
It was a lower-key winter for us from a weather standpoint ... just one snow day. We didn't have a ton of snow, but of course it was icy and cold, and just enough for a day off in January!
Also in January, I was excited to be introduced at the Board meeting in my new district. While I'm still sad to leave Plano after so many years, several events over the past couple of months have solidified for me that moving on is the right decision.
We followed up the Board meeting with some wings! It's hard to get these two to sit together or agree to smile, but they were agreeable on this night, I guess.
The Cyclones have had an awesome basketball season, and we were excited to go see them play in Ft. Worth. It was especially fun to get the win on the road ... we hadn't seen a win at TCU in several years!
Emma played indoor soccer and basketball this winter. Those seasons have now wrapped and we're a couple of weeks into outdoor soccer and softball.
She's also become a super reliable KDAF host and crew member. Most 5th graders particpate in KDAF throughout the the year, but apparently when someone is absent or doesn't show up, the teachers grab Emma to do it because they know she'll do a great job on the fly. I love that they send these pictures!
Emma and several of her friends were invited to the Bluebonett breakfast last month. They had to have read a certain numbers of this year's Bluebonnet Award winning books in order to attend.
Emma also had her last class Valentine's party. This year, she didn't make a box, but opted to collect her treats in a lulu bag.
Sara's team had a fun winter cheering for basketball. Now they are gearing up for tryouts, which will take place right after spring break. Sara has been going to extra tumbling and open gym sessions. I really love her commitment!
This winter she also interviewed for, and was accepted into, PALs for next year. It's a leadership course she took in 8th grade and can take again in 10th. She also applied for a new job that she'll be starting soon at Handel's ice cream!
This past week was Emma's final elementary open house. The 5th graders performed an Indian dance before we visited their classrooms. Emma is a hard worker and a leader at school!
Today the girls got their nails done - spring break prep!
Tomorrow will be laundry and packing, and Monday is our flight to Florida. I cannot wait!
