May is always a busy month. Owen wrapped up his 1st/2nd grade indoor flag football season with a 3-4-1 record for the pale pink team. Their record is deceiving in that 2 of their games were lost by a combined 3 points, and the two larger losses were on Monday evenings at 5 pm when the kids just looked tired. Anyway, it was a good experience, and Owen got to play lots of different positions. He made his parents proud, and Dad did a lovely job compiling his team highlights for each game; here's one where Owen scored a couple of touchdowns.

The kids also had their Let's Play Music recital to cap off their 2nd year in the program. This year they have been building their music skills on keyboards, which was a step up from the 1st year with bells. They were in the same class with another brother-sister duo. There was a lot of complaining about going to class every week and practicing 5 times a week, but through it all, I can tell they learned so much!

They performed several songs: on piano, singing, a musical puppet show, as a group, in contagion, and each did a solo. Owen played "I am learning how to skip, how to skip, how to skip. I am learning how to skip. It's so fun!"

Hadley continues to impress with her fierce performances in public. She rocked it as the youngest in her music class, and was the only one to do their song with both hands together! She actually played it 3 times, once together then once with each hand, just like she practiced it at home. "If I practice every day, lots of songs I'll learn to play!"

Additionally, Hadley got to lead a reading at the all-school rosary yesterday on the 4th luminous mystery of transfiguration. Again, such kindergarten-friendly vocabulary, but not a big deal for her!

And not to be outdone, here's Owen 'flossing', which is the new dance craze a la dab and his current obsession.
