Our School is awesome, we have such a great community to live in, and women in our PTA really go the extra mile. When you think Safety Week, you think no big deal right? WRONG! It is a huge deal! The boys learned all about being safe all week through different activities and things. Here are some of the highlights:
Walking to school day, and celebrity crossing guard: The JAZZ BEAR!
Riding your bike to school day–(Thankfully Toph was home this morning, and was willing to ride his bike with the boys to school…) At school that day they did a bike Rodeo, which Truman thought was pretty cool.
Through turning in your safety pledges (pledging to be safe), your name got entered into a drawing…and TRUMAN WON!
A Razor Scooter!
They were backordered, so we just barely got it this week,

but he was so excited as you can tell from this video.

As I was ending the video, Truman was hoping off to tell me he wasn’t being safe without his helmet. awesome.
On another side note, Truman insist on sleeping with this scooter. I finally convinced him, it was better to have the scooter on the floor instead of in bed with him.
The week finished with the PTA fundraiser, ‘a family fun run’, to which Cat was awesome enough to come down and run with us. It was 2.62 miles, and from what I understand Tucker and Truman ran a good bit of it! Toph took the stroller, and I anticipated walking with them, but the boys wanted to run, so I was left behind, but ended up taking a short cut thru the field so I could see them finish!

I’m so glad that you enjoyed safety week. We just finished safety week and honestly I’m glad it’s over. Only because Lizzy is super afraid of fires… and they talked about fires a lot at school. We followed through and met as a family to talk about our safety plan. We thought it might help Lizzy… but she was up about 12 times that night…with fire nightmares. Oh goodness. I must say you have some tough looking kids running that marathon. Good for them.
That is cool that Truman won!!! I am sure there will be many fun days on the scooter.
Love the pictures! I have a better picture of Tucker and his Teacher i will send it to you.
Thank goodness for this blog to keep us up to date. It is such a good one except I don’t see your pic on here much??? I love you all.
