Spring Parties

This year, I got to help out at both of the boys spring parties since they were in the afternoon after I was done teaching.  It was a bit chaotic going from my school to Landon's school to Keegan's school, but it all worked out.  I had a blast helping and getting to see them during the day.  Keegan was so excited to see me when I walked in.  Landon will tell you that he wasn't super excited to have me there, but I know he really was! :)  

At Landon's party, I was responsible for having the students assemble a treat bag and then play a game at my station. We played "5 Second Rule" and our family made up all the questions ourselves about spring, Easter and baseball since it was opening day.  The students had a blast, and so did I!

At Keegan's party, I was responsible for taking a healthy snack for all the students and playing games.  At my station, the students did Easter relay races.  They had to hop like a bunny one time and then balance eggs on spoons the next time.  Then, we played the "Bozo" game where the students had to toss plastic Easter eggs into Easter baskets.  All the baskets had different numbers on them from 1-4, and the student had to add up their total if they made any eggs into the basket when they were finished so they could practice their math skills as well!  Again, the students had a blast and so did I!  They liked the Egg toss/Math game the best!

 Landon was so embarrassed to take this picture with me, but it turned out great and it is actually one of my favorite pics of us!

 This was Landon's station group right before we played "5 Second Rule"

Since I had to go straight to Keegan's party from Landon's, Landon had to go home with his best friend Jack and his mom (who also helped at the party).  Kristen took a couple pics of the boys walking out together!

This is the "healthy" snack I made for Keegan's party.  Fruit kabobs with a peep!  The students liked the peeps the most, but also ate the fruit!

Keegan had a substitute that afternoon so his teacher could actually help with her son's spring party, so we didn't get a picture with Mrs. Fitch.  However, Keegan was much more cooperative than Landon to take a pic with me!

 Keegan with Gabe and Emily.  Their moms also helped at the party, so we all walked out at the same time. 

Here is one last pic from the day....all of us in our baseball gear for opening day.  Matt and Landon in Cubs gear and Keegan and I in Cardinals gear!  GO CARDS!!!

Such a fun day!  I'm glad that I got to help with the boys parties and spend a little extra time with them!
