Anna enjoying her half-birthday donut

Anna turned 12 1/2 this week and as we have done every year on April 7, we celebrated her half birthday with a donut. She chose an apple fritter. As Marcy pointed out this makes her half way to 25.

Anna’s 6th grade class at their school social

On Friday night Anna had a school social, the first organized activity they had all school year. Anna helped organize the event and had a blast doing it. It brought a little sense of normalcy to the school year.

On Saturday it was all about Jude’s soccer. He refereed two games in the morning and in the afternoon he played his own game. This is the first game I have watched this season and his team is really quite good and they won a hard fought game 3-2.

Today, Jude and I ran the Donut Dash 5K, the first one of the season. It was good to get out there and a beautiful day for it.

Playing with water balloons on the trampoline

Meanwhile Anna spent a lot of time with the neighbor kids this weekend. For some reason, they decided water balloon fights on the trampoline would be fun.
