This past week was one of our favorite weeks at school for
Alex and Sean. It was Catholic Schools
Week and each day was filled with so many fun activities. On Monday, the whole school went on a field
trip to St. John’s Cathedral and then enjoyed an afternoon of bowling. Alex was the only second grader to be picked
to read one of the petitions in church.
His teacher said he has the loudest and clearest voice so her choice was
easy! I forgot how big and beautiful
that church was inside. Alex had a few
butterflies in his stomach that morning but I heard he did a fantastic job!

On Tuesday, it was pajama day and the kids enjoyed making pancakes
in their classroom and playing games in the cafeteria. Next came Wacky Wednesday and then spirit day
on Thursday with a super fun pep rally in the gym led by the 8th
graders!

There was also a Talent Show on Thursday and Alex signed up
to do a Magic Show. The list came out of
performers and it went like this…piano, singing, piano, singing, piano,
singing, dance, singing, piano, singing and then…MAGICIAN!!! He was definitely one-of-a-kind!
We practiced all week in getting his tricks just right. He had six great magic tricks that he perfected! He was nervous to get up on stage in front of everybody
but he was excited too. The audience was
engaged and awed by his tricks. They
laughed and clapped. He did a fantastic job
and I was so incredibly proud of him!!!

Alex helped celebrate Trent's birthday on Saturday at the bowling alley with his classmates. We also had some fun getting ready for the Super Bowl game on Sunday with some games of our own including a competitive game of cookie stacking!
