{Do I Get To Go To School Yet?}

Theron
Ace

This year was kinda sad for me.....Theron is seriously ready for school this year, but in WA he is not old enough so he has to wait. Sadness. He is so cute! :-D

{First Day of School 2009}

It's here again already.....school! Goodness....the summers really do fly by....it's amazing! I remember as a child remembering how fast the summers went by....and now...they still do! I can still recall the begining of the summer thinking of all the things we wanted to do this summer lol and now school has started again already!
I got up and made the boys chocolate chip pancakes and english muffins with ham, cheese and eggs....which is something they LOVE! And then for a treat I made them rice crispy treats for and after school snack. Both of which are special treats for them because we don't do breakfast at home since we get free meals they eat breakfast at school...and they get home about 4...and we eat dinner at 5:30...so it's a small quick healthy snack after school usually.....fridays I try to make something 'special' :-D
We're off to a good start. :-) I was able to take pictures by the front door again this year. I know that I don't have the same front door in all their pictures with all our moves, but I try to get their pictures by our front door on their first day. :-D

Mr E started 3rd grade this year!

Mr A started 2nd grade this year!


I also got some pics of Mr T & Little Mr this morning but I just didn't have the energy to upload, crop, and download them tonight....I did the two that actually went to school this year...lol....I'll try and get theirs tomorrow. :-D

{First Day of Summer...}

Today is the boys' first full official day of summer! Yay! I am so excited to spend time with them & figure out things to do together. I also don't mind the idea of sleeping in once in a while! lol :-D

I have some pics that I've been meaning to post....my computer is acting weird AGAIN...so I'm using my sister's laptop now...so we'll see how much I can get done on it. :-)

{Pizza with the Principle}

This year with Mr A has been pretty rough to say the least....the past month and a half hasn't been too bad though...phew...so imagine our excitment when he came home with a letter stating that he got picked to have pizza with the principle in her office....this is a good thing! lol He has also been bringing home Cub Awards which mean that he was seen doing good and/or nice things. :-D

WAY TO GO MR A!!!!

{Teacher's Choice Award}

Mr E brought home a Teacher's Choice Award on Friday for his improvement in math skills and making good choices! Way to go Mr E! :-)

P.S.-Mr E threw up on the bus the Monday before winter break and missed a day of school because of that....so that is why he doesn't have the Perfect Attendance.

{Perfect Attendance}

Thursday, Mr A came home with an award for Perfect Attendance! Way to go Mr A! :-)

P.S.- I would have taken a picture of him with it, but my camera is still being swanky....he was so cute and proud when he brought it home all crinkled to show me. :-)

{Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer}

Today was SO cute.....Mr E had told me about a project he was doing at school. I'm sure if you've ever talked to kids, you kinda get part of the story or half of it.....in any event it's usually hard to figure out exactly what they are trying to get across. At least that's what it's like with our boys.....they will tell a story and then an adult will tell it.....and I'll be like "OH! THAT'S what they meant!" lol They are so cute! Anyways.....so Mr E......he brought home this beautiful wall hanging! And THANK YOU to the mom's that put in the time to do these for the kids!!! :-) I don't know if he drew the picture (he does love to draw and he's pretty good at it) It looks like the reindeer was traced, and then I can tell he did the background stuff. I do know he colored it in though. :-) And they transfered it to material, and then made a material frame for it. I think he even got to it the material for it.....which are angels....because I like them. :-) He is just TOO SWEET!!! :-) It was supposed to be a Christmas present he said, but he couldn't wait to give it to me. :-)

Thank you Mr E! I love it! :-)

{Mr A's School Picture}

Yes indeed, we got Mr A's school pictures today! :-) I can tell that his 'spiky' hair do did not last until his pictures were taken. And I'm quite suprised about that since we used his dad's hair product to help them stay that day. Oh well, what do ya do when kids play. :-) And for my future reference I'll have to remember to ask my children to take off their coats for their pictures. lol I honestly thought that SOMEONE would have asked him to take if off...it's not like I can be there with them to do. It is frustrating to me that I am paying A LOT of money for these pictures and that someone is not looking for the best picture of my child. So, I'm just going to smile and know that this is Mr A....looking darn cute in his first grade picture. :-)
Hope ya'll are enjoying that I'm trying to update a little more often. :-)
Luvs!

{Mr E's School Picture}

We got Mr E's school pictures back today. Not too sure why we didn't get Mr A's, but I'll post that one when we get it. For now, we are enjoying how much Mr E has grown and how handsome he is getting to be. :-)
