The school year is almost over. Mister is preparing for finals. Lamb's year is winding down.
Lamb had her class picnic. Her mom and I tagged along.
Then in the evening she had her school ice cream social. It is the elementary school social event of the year. Lamb's mom volunteered for food detail. I was watching Lamb and her friend. But I was drafted to help with an inflatable slide. With an interruption to put eyeballs on my girls, I worked 1-1/2 hours. I hammed it up with the kids as I sent them up the ladder. I liked to give them my best sergeant major "Wait for it!" before giving the "Go!" command.
And Lamb, who has said I'm crazy, must think I'm crazy in a good way, volunteered to help. Soon she was doing my "wait for it" routine for the kids waiting for the slide!
This is a keeper memory.
