There are lots of fun days in school, but "Roof Day" is perhaps the most anticipated day of the year at our school. This is the day that our principal spends the day on the roof spraying all the kids with water. All the kids brings towels and a change of clothes. If the kids make their A.R. goals, they get to eat a picnic lunch outside. If a child earns over 300 A.R. points, they get the honor of being on the roof with the principal, vice principal, and librarian while their grade is outside.
I think Matthew was looking forward to this day almost as much as Christmas Day!
I pulled up to school and found the second graders outside ready to get sprayed. They all were eagerly watching the roof ready to get sprayed. Matthew hadn't shown his face yet. All of the sudden, Matthew appeared holding his hands in the air, and the entire second grade down below burst into cheers. I swear, it was like a scene of Evita! It was a fun hour, and the first time all year that I got really hot. Almost summer!
Thomas also had his track day today. Love kindergarten track day! I still remember my kindergarten track day. I won an award for being the first in my class to blow a bubble. Yes, I am a woman of many talents!

Sooo fun!! Track Day and Roof Day were two of my favorites...It looks like the boys had a blast! I can't believe another year is almost over!
How fun! It sounds like Matthew enjoys every second of life!
I hope you had a good Mother's day!
Roof day! I've never heard of it, but it sounds great. I think it's hilarious that the *kids* look forward to their principal spraying them--don't you know *he's* really the one that gets a kick out of it. :) Too funny!!
