The younger kids' school has a Fall Concert every year.
This year, it had a patriotic theme.
There's Hannah!
And there's Katie.
And there's Jack Jack. His drama class did a little play. He played China.
The elementary classes each performed a couple songs.
I have to admit, I felt a little verklempt as I listened to my immigrant children singing about our nation.
Afterwards, the girls showed me their artwork. The older kids drew Statues of Liberty and Liberty Bells.
This was Hannah's.
Turns out, this is not actually Katie's flag. She brought her flag home from school this week, and it has 4 red stripes on it. But you get the idea.
Although the weather was in the 80s the day of the concert, it has since started dropping, and I think it's time to put up the sleeveless dresses and start pulling down some of the long sleeved ones. It's supposed to be 70* today and tomorrow, and then drop into the 60s and 50s for the foreseeable future. Time to pull out the girls' uniform pants.

I can understand verklempt. :)
ReplyDeleteIt totally didn't occur to me until I was sitting there, listening to them sing. It was the same sort of catch in my throat I had when we watched the handful of new Marines from around the globe taking the Oath of Citizenship in April. Sometimes the enormity of what we've done just hits me.
