Not only did Katie's school have a dress down day today, but they also called me a few days ago to let me know that Katie would be receiving an award from the Library. My Mom and I went to Katie's chapel to sit with her and watch her go on stage. Of course Emma came too. Katie's award was 2nd place for reading the most words out of the second grade. They go based off of her AR reading. All the books she read that were her level, that she took tests on, were added up. She did amazing and even won a $5 gift card for Barnes & Noble to be able to buy a new book =) When we got home, we saw a package came. Emma's new swing! She was so excited she was sitting in it, waiting for Daddy to get home and hook it up to the playground for her. Katie also had her yearbook today when we went back to pick her up. Super cool. I loved getting my yearbook when I was in school. Katie looked through it the whole way home. Katie was in it for her class photo and the club she joined during the winter, Cooking Club. The girls played outside on the playground while Dad hooked up the new swing. Emma couldn't wait to try it out. She was so happy in it. She wanted to go "high" lol. Now she can finally swing without me having to bend halfway down to make sure she doesn't fall off haha. Or worry about her jumping off the yellow board swing while I'm pushing her. Nice addition to the backyard! Just what we needed.
