May Wrap Up and last day of school!

Here is a wrap up for the rest of May. Towards the end of the year, 4th grade had a science fair. Caleb and a couple friends did a science fair project at school about what kinds of liquids can remove sharpie ink. According to their results, hand sanitizer does the best job, vinegar next, then water does nothing. Good thing to keep in mind!

He and a friend also did a social studies project about Lebanon.  This year they studied world history and he learned about many interesting places and civilizations.

The kids have lot of neighborhood friends and during the weekend, kids come and go from our house to take breaks from playing outside. This evening a few stayed for dinner. 

Benjamin has been working on his six pack abs and he and his friends were doing a plank contest, haha. 

We had a lot of turnover in our office this summer with 3 people departing, so we had a team lunch at a nearby Turkish restaurant. We enjoyed great food, conversation, and watching cars get towed on the road. 

Another day we went to the camp that kids are going to this summer to get them registered and check out the new preschool they are opening, for Eliza. We didn’t end up going with the school for her, but we all enjoyed seeing pictures of the kids from camp last summer.

We were off to the doctor one day when Benjamin had a fever and could barely get off the couch…if you know Benjamin, that is not him at all. Eliza brought her doctor’s kit, she is so sweet:)

Poor kid had strep throat, but after a couple days of antibiotics he was feeling much better and was happy to go back to school.

On Memorial Day, Nathan and I had the day off and the kids had school. Kadem watched Eliza for a few hours so we could take a hike in the forrest across the street from our home. Nathan walks out there often, and it’s a treat when we can go together. 

In early June the boys had their last day of 3rd and 4th grade! It has been so great to have them in school this past year, after not going for 1.5 years. They had such a great year, learned a lot, had wonderful teachers, made sweet friends, and these kids are ready for 4th and 5th grade!

We pulled the kids out a few days early because we were leaving for vacation to Georgia and Greece, more to come on that soon. 

Summertime, here we come!
