In all my years as an elementary school mom, I have never chaperoned a field trip. There's always so many other people willing to do it, and I was usually at home with a baby anyways. Even when Lucas went to preschool, most field trips occurred on Fridays - the one day he didn't have school.
Imagine my surprise when Ethan's teacher wrote me a personalized email asking if I would chaperone a trip to the Fort Worth Zoo. And by the way, I would have to ride the bus. How could I say no? So I chased these four kiddos around the zoo a couple hours and found another couple reasons to let others do the chaperoning! LOL. (Megan, Logan, Payton and Ethan)
Sarah and I attended the Mother/Daughter International Fashion Show at her school. The native outfits from China, Nepal, Finland, India, and more, were gorgeous to look at. We met a Japanese family whose young daughter got to wear a kimono for the very first time. And heard from many other mothers how excited they were about this event because their Westernized daughters aren't all that into wearing their traditional cultural clothing.
Sarah walked the runway with some girlfriends in a very American red/white/blue striped dress that was actually purchased in London and handed down to her by a friend!
Jacob has been using my camera to capture plants and wildlife for scouts. Some of his pictures have turned out amazing! Like this one:
