Backpack morsels
What a simple, sweet joy it is being in cleaning mode, pulling stuff out of your kid's backpack and coming across this. A note made for no apparent reason other than self expression during center time at school. Thank you for making my day! Samantha, we love you too.

Samantha Sunset Stop
Samantha loves her friends. She was delighted her friend Robyn invited her to dinner and a movie---a super special treat with a friend who she wishes were in her first grade class!
As soon as she came home, instead of putting a check next to her summer
wish list item of "play date with Robyn" she added the words... "two times"!
Here are the buddies stopping for a sunset view thanks to Robyn's mama.
Yay summer with friends.

Somebody lost her first tooth!
This time Samantha pulled it and not a dentist! So we expect the tooth fairy might visit :-)
Samantha was very excited it happened at school so she could get and wear the sought after tooth necklace.

Addie with a huge grin--- "I still can't believe it!"
Was stuck behind the bus watching the kiddos get off hoping to catch Addie and Samie's glance so they would know I was there but then I saw Addie getting off the bus met by cheers from kids and adults alike-- watch out it's the WINNER of the third grade STEM project. In Addie's world, it was the closest to a celebrity she's ever felt.
All evening she kept saying, "I still can't believe it. I can't believe I won." I guess when they announced the winners, her entire class cheered to have the winning student in their room and hugs were flowing. Addie says she clung so long to her teacher that she finally needed to say it was time to let go. :-) Samantha was equally thrilled to be the sister of the first place name announced over the load speaker! I love this about Samantha, by the way, the easy flow of joy for others.
I just had to capture this moment as a mama... so so happy that our sweet, innovative Addie got to have of of those Cloud 9 moments and that I got to watch part of it. And boy, nothing makes an accomplishment sweeter than to celebrate it with friends. Thanks to everyone who cheered our girl today and made a lasting memory.
