The morning was not without an interesting start though, as I got all three kids loaded into the car and then it wouldn't start!! Elise's class was one of the first to perform (all of the classes sing for the parents), and so it definitely mattered that we got there on time. David had already committed to playing in a golf tournament, so I was solo, but luckily my parents saved the day. My Mom came and picked us up and got us there in time and then my Dad came over and charged my car battery (guessing one of the kids left a door open, because my oldie but goody car has been fine ever since!).
Elise was so excited about her performance. Here she is with some of her classmates. They sang God Bless America as well as several songs about the Solar System to go along with the Spring Fling Space theme.
Bennett was very focused on getting her video so that David could see.
Here's our girl with some of her sweet classmates! The t shirts they are wearing were designed by one of the students!
Reese+Elise+Constance are definite BFF's. These girls LOVE each other!!!
Carsten is one of Elise's favorite new friends she has met this year.
And these three musketeers had a blast together!
After the performance, face painting was first on the agenda for the girls! I knew it would be. :)
Bennett had no interest at all, so it was nice to have my Mom there to help me so that she could take him to do some fun activities while I took the girls to get their faces painted.
I love this picture of Lila...
One of the reasons Elise had face painting first on her to do list was that she knew that one of her most favorite people in the world, her teacher, was working at that booth! I can't say enough about this woman. She is INCREDIBLE.
Lila was pumped to run into one of her classmates, Meredith, who also has a big sis at Elise's school.
Confetti eggs are in high demand, and after Riley got Bennett she was a good sport and let him get her!!
She is such a sweet girl...
In addition to the activity booths there were several big jumpies and slides...this HUGE alligator was definitely the Parnell kids favorite!
The girls were also into hair paint...
Elise even got AUBURN colors because that is where her teacher went to undergrad! Shhhh...don't tell David!!!
Lila was also pleasantly surprised to see Cinderella!!!!
It was a gorgeous day, and we definitely could have spent the whole day there, but we had to head home around lunch to gear up for three soccer games that afternoon, and then a big night ahead for all- Myrt's birthday party for the girls and Motorcross for the boys! It was the busiest day we have had in a LONG time, but definitely filled with fun!
I am so thankful to my parents for their help...
