Summer is over for another year and the boys returned to school this morning. I’m pretty sure if you asked them they would tell you that they had a great summer but it wasn’t long enough. When you were a kid was summer holiday ever long enough?
We all walked over to the school this morning and even Caroline insisted on having her own backpack. It’s hard to believe it’s already the start of another school year.
As most of you know, since we hit you up for donations, Alex was doing the “Boosterthon Fun Run” at school this week. It started last week with a kick off assembly at school where they got the kids all excited about collecting donations from friends and family and he brought home his information packet. The idea was that they would collect either a flat amount or a pledge per lap and on the day of the run they could run up to 35 laps within the allotted one hour time limit.
The hook they used to get the kids all excited about collecting donations was that at certain dollar amounts pledged per lap they were rewarded with prizes. Boosterthon branded head bands, wrist bands, water bottles, t-shirts, glow in the dark footballs, you name it. Alex knew that prize chart up and down.
On the day of the run Jen went over to the school and took some pictures and here is a crazy face Alex sporting his head band prize and football. Thanks to everyone who donated.
