Fabulous Friday

We had quite a full Friday last week! We started off with Harrison's school program "Lemonade" which was soooo cute!
They all got to wear their costumes as part of the program. Harrison decided not to wear his Halloween costume, but instead to go as Captain America. He sang so well and was so cute. 

 The program was after lunch so we were just able to check him out for the day. Here he his with his adorable teacher, Mrs. Foster. He absolutely LOVES being in her class this year -- and tells me often how much he loves school this year. Music to my ears!!
 As soon as we finished with Harrison's program we headed over to Madeleine's school (which is next door -- nice, huh?!) for her awards program. We knew that she was getting an award we just didn't know what.
 She got the STAR award for her team (there are 2 teams) and also got an award for having All A's this quarter. I am so proud of her! Middle school is definitely a "step up" from elementary but she has taken it all in stride and done just wonderful!

 As soon as we finished Madeleine's awards ceremony, we headed to the High School to drop the girls off for their last day of cheer camp. We killed a few minutes and then headed back to see their performance. I mostly took video and this is the only picture I actually took. Charlotte loved "stinting" (aka "stunting") and it was her favorite part. :)
 The girls did great with their dances and cheers! We headed home to grab a quick dinner and loaded back up again to head to Madeleine's last softball game of the season. Madeleine and Lindsey have had a blast playing softball together the last couple of years! They are so good to encourage each other and support each other on and off the field.
 The girls played their best games by far. We played a double header and lost the first one by 1 point and won the second -- a win against the best team in our league! Woohoo! Way to go out on top! Matt said it was the "Madeleine & Lindsey Show" that night. The other team could hardly score. Madeleine plays pitcher and every ball that came anywhere near her she caught and threw to Lindsey at first which Lindsey always caught and got them out. They were like a machine that night! It was so so fun to watch!! Madeleine had some great hits -- you can expect her to pretty much always hit the ball so now she's working on trying to hit it harder. And she had some good hits!
 Final huddle
 And, a win like that calls for ice cream! Our team had a late night trip to Braums to celebrate! We didn't get home until after 10:30 (those 8:30 games are brutal) but it was worth it! Such a perfect way to end the season and a fun end to our fun Friday!
