Our Week

On Wednesday the elementary school encouraged everyone to walk or bike to school.  We ended up walking and having donuts before school.  It's always fun to change up our mornings for this day each year.


Brian and I went to see Come From Away for one of my birthday plays. All of the actors played more than one character, and I loved that most of the actors also played instruments throughout the play- drums, accordion, flute, guitars, banjo, piano, whistles.  It also had a lot of storytelling.   It's a 9/11 story that takes place in Gander, Newfoundland. A lot of the planes headed to the USA were rerouted to this small town that day.  It's an incredible story!   I read the nonfiction book beforehand called The Day the World Came to Town by Jim DeFede.  As horrible as that day was, there were also tender mercies.


Tom had another flag football game on Friday night.  They didn't win, but he had some great receptions and flag pulls.


Tom built a fort in his room over the weekend.


Catherine found she can no longer keep all her stuffies in a basket.  


Lydia was invited to attend the Clovis Cross Country Invitational (near Fresno) over the weekend.  She left Friday morning and came back Sunday afternoon.  She ran a 5k in the race and got a personal record for that race length.
