Grace Winding Down

May 26, 2010

Last day of school!  For six whole days my tween has no extra-curricular activities.  Zip. Zero. Nada.  She will be whining about how bored she is by tomorrow morning.  

Here is a wrap up of the end-of-year activities:

Fourth Grade Band Concert.  Ear plugs would have been nice.  Here she is with BFF Alex.

Softball season ends with a 1-12-1 record (or something just as dismal).  They didn't care; they just had FUN!

Final performance of School House Rocks, Live.  Grace & Emmie on stage.  I'm still singing the Preamble in my head.  

End of year party for Girl Scout Troop 990.  Cute cookies, thanks Nikki.

Basketball season ended.  They were surprisingly fun to watch and the girls played GREAT!

The summer games camps begins June 1.  No resting around the Halterhome.   

At least not for too long.

The Macho Maniacs had their first basketball game today.  Yes, the 4th & 5th grade girls decided to call themselves the Macho Maniacs.  Huh??
Anyway, they won 12-10! But even better, they all played, had a blast, and surprised all of us with their skills.  They have only had two practices.  It was so fun to watch them high-five each other after making baskets.  As I drove Grace & Courtney home, they were so excited they said they couldn't wait for the next game.  After watching Grace never, ever get a pass from the boys she played with in the Village's co-ed league, it was great to watch the girls play and pass to each other.  Girls sports rock!  (Except girls' football and hockey...those should stay boy sports in my opinion).
Grace made 4 baskets!  Go Grace!
I promise pictures next game (March 6th).
