Yesterday, after field day, the girls had 'family picnic' day at school. So, Teddy and I headed up to the school again and enjoyed lunch with the girls. Millie was definitely showing a bit of wear after our late night at the ball game and got sad when it was time for us to go. She cheered up when we figured out that this was also Pie Day, and I could stick around a little longer to watch kids throw pies in the teachers' faces (a fundraiser the school conducted to raise money to bring an artist from Rwanda to the school for two weeks next fall...). While it was hot sitting on the blacktop amongst all the kids, it was fun to see the kids and teachers enjoying themselves so much. They all worked so hard this year (no snow days, even!) and deserved to celebrate the end of the year a little bit (or a lot...).

the superintendent started off the pie throwing by throwing one at the principal
Millie's teacher got a pie in the face too (a very gentle one)
