Mayed out!

The month of May is crazy at school. Everything has to be put off until the end of May which means life gets very busy. Yesterday I helped with Max's "times table ice cream party" which was really cute. For passing off 2's you get a bowl, passing off 5's you get a scoop of ice cream and so on. As I was elbow deep in ice cream the room mom asked if I could help with field day all day on Friday. I said I had something that day which I thought I did, but when I got home and looked at my calendar, I didn't. But I still don't think I'll get back with her because other moms need the great opportunity to help in the school. Maddie has a major State project and test on all the states and capitols in the U.S. Luckily she is very self-motivated so that's not too bad. She needed a snack for her "poetry cafe" today which meant I needed to go to the grocery store because the cupboards were quite bare. Max is walking to a park and needs to take a lunch tomorrow and Seth goes to kindergarten from 9-12 on Friday instead of 11-2. There's a lot to keep track of. Tanner has a big band concert tomorrow night and needs to stay after school to practice for it so I need to go get him when he's ready. Max is also getting an award at an assembly on Thursday that parents are invited to and he told me this morning, "btw, mom I need to bring a birthday treat for the class on Tuesday since I have a July birthday." IS MAY ALMOST OVER???
