Parker's Pie

Mrs Parker took a pie in the face when her 4th grade class earned over $6000 for their school during the Boosterthon Fun Run.

Fun Run!

I went to the most awesome fundraising event today! The Boosterthon Fun Run was this morning. I would like to thank all our friends and family who sponsored Abigail on her run....she ran the maximum 35 laps and kept going! Mrs. Parkers 4th grade class raised the most money for the school at over $200 per lap! Goooo Parker's Pride!!!

All painted and ready to run!


It's wonderful to be able to be there to support her.


Two of my favorites :)


Lining up. Each class was announced as they ran through.


Waiting their turn


Here they come!!


Getting everyone excited and ready to run!


And before any real sporting event....our National Anthem


Following the flag....getting them all lined up


And they're off!


The end of the first lap. Everyone is getting their shirts marked for each lap.


There was A LOT of this.


The guys who were in charge of the run were incredible! They kept the kids motivated with music...they talked to them throughout the race.

They danced...


They jumped...


I even caught the principal doin a little dancing of her own :)


And a little more...


The teachers were out there too!


These kids ran


And ran


And ran some more


They even had a nifty conga line!


Smiling the whole time!


And then it was over...35+ laps complete!


The victory lap.


These kids are awesome! They did an amazing job!!!

Snow Day!

I have to admit that when they made the decision yesterday to close schools today because of a "good chance" of snow I was skeptical. Then we woke up to this....



We woke the kids up and didn't even bother to dress them before we turned them loose.


This was all the snowman we could build with the snow we had...


And then the sky opened up and dumped a ton more snow!

Wow Mom LOOK!! (this is EG's first "real" snow)


Poor Layla didn't know what to think of having a snowball fight...here she is bracing for impact.


It didn't take her long to figure it out though :)


Then she ran!


And together putting the final touches on a snowman


Burrrrrrrr!


Shelby making a run for the house. She is NOT a fan of the snow.


Tory on the other hand...


Catch the snowball is her new favorite game :)


It's only 11:45 and they're saying there is more on the way! Yay for snow days!!!
