Family Picnic at school!!

Year 1. April 21, 2011

Finally found Marissa in the group, then Andrew. Got in line with the 4 kids, Luke in a stroller. Gathered our food, balanced it all the way outside to a table. Got everyone settled and they announced for the kindergarteners to go dance.

Left Andrew with Luke at the table and quickly took some shots of Marissa dancing.

She did awesome. She remembered all the dance moves,

all the hand movements,

and we even got some great action shots. Then rushed back to the table to eat. Apparently, after the dance, Marissa was supposed to go back to class. I was trying to get her to eat in a hurry and then they were calling for her over the microphone. Ugh!! This was awful. In this time the 1st graders did their dance and the 2nd graders were up.

So, rushed a barely fed Marissa to class, and went to try to find Andrew in the sea of 2nd graders, pushing Luke in the stroller, and nagging Oliver to stay with me. This is wheres waldo in real time. So you know, Andrew IS in this photo.

After locating him I had to weave around the the parents to try to get a decent picture to document this moment. He was in the middle of a bunch of people so I didn't get very many pictures.

Wow, this is absolutely a Mom credit day. This was exhausting and no fun for me or the little boys. It was hotter then expected and an insane schedule to stay on with the group that was with me.

I thought for a second that this activity will be easier when Oliver and Luke are older. Then realized that at some point I am going to be attending all 4 of my kids little dance routines at this school while trying to feed them at the same time.

Well I have the pictures to prove that I was there. Andrew and Marissa can't say I never did anything for them.

WE SURVIVED THE SCHOOL PICNIC 2011 WOOT! WOOT!
