Huh? Yes, graduation for 5th graders. Hey, we don't plan it - we just show up and clap when we're told (sort of like Matthew). In a few years, we get to do it again with both Julia (another 5th grade graduation) and Matthew (kindergarten graduation). We'll have true anarchy when Amanda graduates from high school and Matthew from 5th grade (what if it's on the same night?!?)
Anyway, Tuesday night was "Graduation Recognition" night for the 5th Graders at Timber Ridge Elementary. This means that they do a presentation honoring the 5th graders. And, for a sizeable portion of the night we also honored the volunteers who helped with all the graduation-related activites for the 5th grade class. We also had 2 tornado warnings just to spice it up a bit. It was fun, once we went through 9 kids presenting their volunteer moms with flowers and gifts. And, of course, all 5th graders - especially the boys - dream of doing this in front of a few hundred people! In a 5th grade boy's world, co-ed square dancing in gym class is less painful than having to express anything towards his mom (especially in public!) Thankfully, 5th grade girls don't apparently suffer from this affliction ...yet.
It was fun, and only ran about an hour late. Here are a few pictures of Amanda and friends...
