the 6th grade classes at our kids’ school just finished studying medieval times.

for the final hurrah, they organized and celebrated with an official joust hosted by the knights of mayhem and a medieval fair! both were incredible. did you know the world-ranked jouster lives in utah? he hails from eagle mountain, utah…fyi. {i didn’t even know “real” jousting still took place! i thought it only existed at the ‘excalibur’ in vegas!}

last month, kj’s 1st grade class had their program at school.

while we were all seated in the gym, waiting for it to start, i hurried and went up closer so i could take the first picture i posted below…

then i went back to sit with our family…

then kj ran down from his seat on the stage, quickly kissed me, said,
“hi mom, i love you!” and ran back to his spot to sit down.

boy, oh, boy, this little man of mine has my heart.

then he did it again.

and,

again.

three times he ran to me, with kisses!

the first graders at kj’s school all went on a leprechaun – scavenger hunt!
it was so. dang. cute!

the two days leading up to st. patrick’s day,
the first graders would hear leprechauns running accross the roof of the school!
and running through the halls!

so, finally, ON st. patrick’s day, the first graders went looking for them!

{i missed this activity when my older girls were in 1st grade,
and i was so impressed, this time…}

there were about 10 groups of kids, each group had 4-5 kids with one leader.
kj was the leader of his group.
