Field Day

Millie has 9 more school days left, but who's counting...right? Today was Field Day and they had a ton of activities. Reed and I rode our bikes over so we could watch. They were just warming up when we got there.

Millie was ready to go and even took the warming up very seriously. Even though is was about 85 degrees, the wind was crazy so that helped it not be too terribly hot.

Then they gave Reed a bottle.

Those blindfolded first graders didn't stand a chance

Farewell Karate

Millie and Reed both had their final Karate class today. It was sad, I have to admit. I slightly teared up after both classes when we told the instructors goodbye. It didn't help me that Reed's instructor was crying. It is such an amazing family owned business and they truly care about all of their students, especially the rock stars like my 2 critters. They made them both promise that they would keep at it after we move and they hope to see them both down the road at competitions. Reed was able to squeeze in one more belt on his last day. He tested for his green belt and did a great job. His instructor has him doing things she has never had Little Dragons do before and he rocks at it. Of course it helps that Millie is learning these things in her class and so she practices on him teaches him these things at home.

He ran his Kata

He did a few take downs on his instructor

Earned his new green belt with ease!

At Millie's class that evening her instructor let them break some boards. She did great.

Saying goodbye to her instructor was hard too. Not so much saying goodbye but hearing what he was telling her was so sweet. I hope we can find something as good after we move but I'm not holding my breath. They are pretty fantastic at Westfield.

Reed The Biking Champ

Although I don't have photos, I just have to share Reed's major accomplishment from this past weekend.  Our house in Westfield has access to The Monon Trail which is a bike trail/greenway that runs all the way to Indianapolis.  We love to ride on it.  About 5 miles from our house is a super yummy restaurant called Bub's.  We have ridden there several times to eat but have always pulled Reed in the bike cart.  This time we let Reed start riding and we figured we would just put him and his bike in the cart when he got tired.  Well, pulling the cart was unnecessary because he rode all the way there and all the back.  10 total miles!  The little critter had to peddle his little legs off the entire time because his bike is so tiny.  I am sure that may be some kind of world record for a 3 year old but I guess we may never know officially.

Reed brought home a card for me tonight he made at PRE (religion class).
