Last week of school

The last week of Kindergarten was crazy:

Monday was the Lake Field Trip, Becky took the day off to chaperone. In addition my cousin Kimn and her two sons, Justin 16 and Jesse 9 came to visit from Hawaii and they are here until July 5.

Tuesday was a half day of school and a Kindergarten picnic at our local park. I took the morning off to attend. Lauren babysat the rest of the day.

Wednesday was Field Day at school. Lauren went to Field Day for us. It was also the start of summer gymnastics which is a 2 hour class for Ally. In addition Ally had a special doctor appointment.

Thursday nothing planned

Friday was the last day of school for Ally and Becky. I took Ally and Jesse to the pool after school.

It was also hot all week long.

Before and after swimming in the lake.

Parents were invited on Tuesday to kindergarten for their usual morning meeting and then it was off to the picnic.

 

Its not an Amigos School event with out some Latin Dancing!

Reading before bed with Mama. Ally had been really interested in her Bible story book. Gruncle and Aunt Suzie gave it to her last August and lately it is what she chooses to read every night before bed.

Lauren took these pictures of Field Day. The 3-legged race, wheel barrel races and parachute games.

Ally is sitting in the exam chair at the Ear Nose and Throat doctor. She has a mucocele inside her mouth. Its basically a blocked salivary gland, in her case its ruptured and she has a big sore inside her bottom lip. We’ve been to the pediatrician who referred us to the ENT and she has surgery scheduled for July 12 to take it off. It needs to be stitched up so that the salivary duct can heal properly. It means Ally has to go under general anesthesia, but the procedure is very quick, we’ll have it done at Mass Eye and Ear which is a world class hospital and the doctor said it takes less than 30 minutes, and we can be there for the procedure. We went to Children’s Hospital where Ally goes to the dental clinic for Ally’s teeth cleaning and the dentist there gave us a second opinion on the mucocele and she agreed it had to come out.  Ally seems ok about it, she knows she’ll go to the hospital with us, go to sleep and the doctor will take care of it while she is asleep. Its just outpatient surgery so we’ll be home the same day.

This week we saw a rainbow this was the view right outside out front porch. It was about 8pm at night, and Becky came and got Ally and I our of bed to go see it. We joked that our cousins from Hawaii (the rainbow state) brought it with them! ts really hard to see in pictures – but it was a double rainbow if you look closely at the picture on the right you can see it.

 

Swimming and hanging out on the pool deck with cousin Jesse.

Ally being silly before bed!

It was very busy week!
