School Stuff

Quinn\’s school had their annual Jog A Thon where the kids run laps around the sports field in November 90 degree heat. For some reason the jog a thon always falls on a hot hot day.

Quinn\’s class before the run.

Quinn getting his laps marked. In previous years the kids had to run a certain number of laps to get a free Baskin Robins card but this year they just had to collect a donation. Ha! So I encouraged Quinn to fully participate but not worry about the number of laps he ran.

After the race. It was a hot one.

I volunteered for the morning shift and handed out post race popsicles!

The kids also rotate through various arts programs and they just finished up their drama rotation and did a cute little play for the parents. The play was on Monday 🙂 It was the Little Red Hen and Quinn played a cat.

Around Here

Quinn has been taking an after school enrichment class where they program Lego Robotics. Two of his classmates are in the class too so they have lots of fun.

A couple of weeks ago Q slammed his finger in the car door. We were on our way in to see a movie and Quinn was quite the champ, although there was alot of pain and tears. The nail immediately turned purple and I told him it would probably fall off. Here it is a couple of days ago and since then it has fallen off. I think he finds it pretty intriguing.

This weekend we went for a family bike ride down at the beach.

Our usual stopping place.

Our other usual stopping place so Quinn can climb the burnt tree and get charcoal all over himself. I happened to take a pretty bad spill on this bike ride, but survived with no broken bones.

And Quinn has recently moved up a level in swimming and has a new instructor. I really like her because she keeps the kids moving the whole time. He will be ready for swim team in no time. Although the 5 pm class time with the time change has made it pretty chilly getting out of the pool.

Science Carnival

This past weekend we went to a local science carnival. We had been a couple of years ago and really enjoyed it. This year we met a couple of friends.

Jumping in a wet, but solid bucket of Oobleck. It a cornstarch mixture that is solid if you jump hard on it but you will sink right in if you just stand on it.
