AJ the Chef
AJ just made me a snack. It was a tortilla, romaine lettuce, salsa, mozz. cheese and wait for it. . . . strawberries. He said the strawberries were to make it healthy.

A Day of Surprises
We had a surprise play date today when my friend Mary dropped off her daughter while she had to take her older child to the doctor. We had fun!
AJ was having a friend over too. They were out by the pool when AJ came running in. There was a hawk circling our yard and he told me to grab my camera.

5th Grade Promotion
On Friday AJ had his 5th grade promotion ceremony. They gave out promotion certificates and also some awards. AJ got an award for getting straight A's for the whole school year. We were very proud of him, especially since we are the type of parents that don't help with homework often. He truly earned the grades himself.
Here is AJ with his teacher, Mrs. Thompson. AJ has had her two years in a row. The first year he was in a combination 4th/5th grade class. I think AJ liked that because it allowed him to be exposed to different things. And because he was in a 5th grade classroom, he also got to go on some cool field trips that other fourth graders didn't. Mrs. Thompson has been a great teacher for the past two years and we will miss her. AJ is ready for middle school and looking forward to it.

Indoor Soccer
AJ's indoor soccer season started last weekend. And I have to say that as a parent watching the game in AZ, I LOVE indoor soccer. Why? There is no sun. There is no 115 degree heat. There are actual benches to sit on. There is even a snack bar. What's not to love?
I like this picture of AJ. I see a glimpse of him in about 10 years in this picture. This is how I imagine he is going to look like in college. But he will be taller and with more facial hair.
The team didn't win, but AJ scored the first goal for his team and he got a lot of good playing time in. Indoor soccer is almost a completely different game. The whole wall element leads to different dimensions of the game and all new strategies. It was interesting to watch the kids as they figured out that the ball would bounce back to them if they hit it out of bounds. And when I say "interesting", I mean funny.

Charlie's Note Of The Day
Charlie described the tapioca as tasting like bananas and looking like fish eggs.
I couldn't have said it better myself.
