Once again, it's time for the 5th grade's class picnic. Here I am with all the kids. This was a great group too.
Here's the teacher, my daughter Angie, with them . The children all played well together. No one whined or argued. Beautiful.
They played kick ball. Got a ton of exercise.
Baseball with plastic bats. So fun to watch them.
I thought the kids were genius. They drew circles with their names and put their sodas in the circles. Funny and clever. I have always encouraged them to put a piece of tape on the cans with their names. LOL
This young mom came to help out. Her name is Deidra.
This mommy is Mandy. Such a small world, Deidra and Mandy went to school with my niece Beth.
After a day of walking from school to the teacher's house. Playing games and running their legs off...the wonderful bus came and picked them up for the trip back to school.
The children had hot dogs with fixings, chips, and cookies. Plus they could have one soda and lots of water. They will be having cookies all next week, as treats...because any cookie packs left over go back to school . Angie won't keep that stuff in her house. LOL.
The past few days the weather's been wet and gloomy....today was truly a beautiful day. Sunshine and blue skies with a pleasant temperature. Two thumbs up. Hope your day was fun XO
Looks like a fun filled day and I loved seeing the pics. I'm so thankful you have enjoyed nice weather today. I wish you a lovely Mother's Day weekend with love.
ReplyDeleteMildred, We so needed a day of good weather and that beautiful sunshine. My daughter's class was filled with loving thoughtful children this year. I was amazed at how nicely they got along. Blessings to you my sweet friend for a great weekend. Love,xoxo, Susie
DeleteThank you and I wish you a blessed Mother's Day. xoxo
DeleteThat's a clever trick to do with their soda cans. Looks like you had a wonderful day with the 5th graders.
ReplyDeleteKathy, Being around that many kids with all of them being kind, was wonderful. They used a lot of energy playing...which made me smile. Blessings, xoxo, Susie
DeleteI'm amazed that your daughter invites them back to her house. She must have a great group of kids! Are you usually part of this every year? Tell me you didn't bake all the cookies! -Jenn
ReplyDeleteJenn, Yes, I help my daughter give her picnic. I usually polish the girls nails and braid their hair...But this year their time was too short. They had rocket launching at the park before they came for the picnic. So time was just for eating and playing. Sweet kids this year. Oh heavens I rarely bake any more. LOL the kids moms donate chips and cookies. Blessings, xoxo, Susie
DeleteLooks like a really fun day! Glad the weather cooperated! Happy Mother's day weekend sweet friend. Hugs!
ReplyDeleteDiane, we could not have bought better weather. LOL. Perfect. Hope you enjoy your Mother's Day too. Bless you my friend, xoxo, Susie
DeleteWhat a fun class picnic, Susie. I'm glad all the kids got along. What a clever idea drawing circles with their names. Oh, I remember those days well. I was always the mom who went on all the field trips and picnics. It was a lot of fun, but at the end of the day I was exhausted. But it was worth it, and have special memories.
ReplyDeleteHappy Mother's Day to my dear blog sister.
love, ~Sheri
Sheri, I love being with my daughter's class at the picnic. This was a very good group. I liked how well they treated each other. Oh yes, sweetheart, my feet hurt and I am wore out afterwards. LOL. I was to go to the art museum with this same class the day before...but I begged off, thinking about all that walking. Glad I did at about 3:00 yesterday afternoon. I was ready for a hot soak in the tub.LOL
DeleteI hope you have a great Mother's Day also. I will be with 3 of my daughters. Blessings, xoxo,love, Susie
Looks like a fun day, Susie. I'm so glad the weather cooperated. The soda cans in the circle is brilliant. I love that! Happy Mother's Day lovely lady! xo
ReplyDeleteOh bless your heart Nancy, I will get to spend Sunday with 3 of my daughter...had a cook out with one of them today...she has to work. Are kids just so clever at times. The picnic went very well...but oh I was dragging afterwards. LOL.
DeleteHappy Mother's Day to you, hope it's great. xoxo, Susie
Love.
ReplyDeleteRegine, Glad you like the picnic. You would have loved how nice the kids were. They all removed their shoes before going in my daughter's house. I bet those slept like logs last night. LOL. Bless you and wishing you a great Mother's Day. xoxo, Susie
DeleteChildren, regardless of their age, can be exhilarating, Susie!! Happy Mothers Day!...:)JP
ReplyDeleteJP, Did you say exhilarating or exhausting?? LOL..to me it's both. But I love it. happy Mother's Day to you too, Bless you, xoxo, Susie
DeleteMy son teaches middle school but he loves taking or chaperoning the kids on days like this. They usually go to CaroWinds in Charlotte NC as that is where he is.
ReplyDeleteHi Katie, Thank you for visiting. Don't you just love Boston Boy's sense of humor? If your son likes teaching and still like to be with the children on trips and such...he's a good teacher. ..My daughter loves her classes. Believe me some of them have had troublesome kids...I just call them all honey or sweetie and it's amazing how nice words can help a kid. :) Blessings to you this Mother's day, hope it a happy one for you, xoxo, Susie
DeleteI came here via Blogzilla's page.
ReplyDeleteend of school year activity days are great fun!
ReplyDeleteSheila, The children all know about Mrs. H's end of the year picnic and they all clamor to be her class. So funny. I enjoy helping out and meeting the children. Blessings, xoxo, Susie
DeleteI feel like an old friend now! I've been to many class picnics with you and Angie by way of your blog! It's a tradition!
ReplyDeleteLinda, I love seeing all the kids from my daughter's class. This year's bunch was so kind to each other...I loved it. This is tradition....but I did not do any nail polishing or hair braiding. They did not have as long at Angie's house this year. Blessings, xoxo,love, Susie
