Kassi on Lunch Duty / Her Half-Birthday

Kassi told me that she was helping this week in the cafeteria. They have two kids from each class wash their class table and sweep the floor. We decided we'd join her for lunch and then see her in action. The camera's batteries were out, but Nathan jetted home from her school and saved the day by bringing the batteries just in time! Notice how her hand is positioned when she's sweeping the floor. She's so darn cute!


The same day she had lunch duty, it also happened to be her half-birthday. In our house, those days are events not to be missed! We celebrate like it's your birthday, just without the same amount of presents. You get a few, just not as many. *wink* We got to visit her classroom bearing 1/2 a cake to Kassi and each child got 1/2 cupcake and 1/2 a cookie. We sang "Happy Half-Birthday" to her and everyone thought she was the coolest girl ever. They'd never heard of a 1/2 birthday before, so Mrs. Kayser-Boyd explained it to them. She just loved it. It was nice timing, too, because then the kids got a treat right before their spring break/Easter holiday! Ashlee and Trevor love going to her big school and being in her classroom. They thought this was the best, though, because they got to all eat Kassi's cake. Besides that, Kassi's classmates shower attention on them. They think it's great fun! For the rest of the day, we ran errand after errand for Enrichment meeting but that's a different story. My little Kassi must have been inspired because she chose Souper Salad for dinner and that little whisperings of the spirit got me out of a huge rut for Enrichment! I decided to have them cater my event and it took a load off of my mind! Thanks, Kassi! It was a nice half-birthday for a nice little girl!
