100th Day of School

Friday, February 9 was the 100th day of school. The kindergarten classes at our school always celebrate this day. They do a lot of counting activities that day that are a lot of fun. They also bring in 100 items. This year they added dressing up like a 100 year old person.

Here is 100 year old Dylan.

I went to school and took pictures. They were so cute. I was able to talk to Mrs. Robinson. The kid who was having a hard time in class was transferred into one of the other classrooms and a new kid from Denver moved into the class. Mrs. Robinson (bless her heart for putting up with kid for most of the year because he was a challenge) is soooo happy now and the kids are having so much fun now. They had fun before, but they are having a lot of fun. Mrs. Robinson is really fun at teaching and she couldn't do what she normally does because of this kid--isn't that sad? Anyway, Dylan was also tasked to sit with the new kid to show him the ways. 

Art Show

The day before  the school district had their art show (which I had no clue was going on) Dylan brought home a paper and said, "Mom, I am famous". So I look at the paper and see that his art will be on displayed at this art show. Blake had the same thing happen in Kinder, but I thought everyone's art was on display so we didn't go. Well, they only pick a few from each school so we knew that we should go to Dylan's.

We got there so we could see this famous kid's art work. This is his art. His art teacher was there and came and talked with us for awhile. She told me that she just loved both Blake and Dylan and how good they both are at art. (Really? Um, okay...I'm no art expert) She also said that she never has any problems with either kid.

Here is kindergarten art. I think it is cute.

This was the art from our school. Good job Dylan!

This week was crazy because my co-teacher was on jury duty so I was the lead teacher. It went just fine, but I was happy when she came back the following week. She is so great.

Basketball Games

February 3--In the morning we went to Home Depot for a project. Then we went to Dylan's basketball game.

We went home, had lunch, etc  then came back for Blake's game. They both did great.

Interesting

A couple Friday's ago I went to the store and saw mini bananas. I  have never seen them before and I go grocery shopping a lot.

Then I went to pick up the boys from school. I walk to get them and meet them at the corner across the street so we can avoid the crazy carpool line. I saw this car. Who wouldn't want to be picked up in that car? 

School Pictures

The kids had their Spring school pictures so I told them to wear something nice....Dylan picked his Hawaiian shirt. His grandpa and uncle James would be so happy with the choice.

Basketball Games

January 27--More games. The kids did great.

In between games we went over to cousin Amy's house because Aaron's Aunt Verena was in town. They came up to go to the Dallas Temple since the Houston Temple is still closed. They stayed with Amy this time. We had lunch with them before going to Blake's game. It was fun to see them.

I have been teaching at school Monday-Thursday now. I am a permanent sub for one class since one of the teachers will be out for awhile. I really like the other teacher that I teach with and the kids are really cute. It certainly keeps me busy, but I get Fridays off to get everything done. Friday is a very busy day!

Basketball Games

January 20--Dylan had a game in the morning and Blake had his in the afternoon...like every Saturday.

Dylan scored 4 points.

We played outside in between games because it was really nice outside.

By the way, we have got our kids hooked on "Amazing Race". It is one of my favorite shows...and now we all watch it together.

Team Picture

Dylan took his team basketball picture before practice. I don't ever buy these pictures, but here is the team.

Beckett, Dylan, Collin, Carlisle, Bryson, and Sam with Coach Charles. 

They look thrilled to be taking pictures right?

MLK Day

We had the day off of school and it wasn't a freezing cold day like it had been, so we went to the scout store, then played outside because we could. Happy day! Then we went over to the Neumann's house  to play.

Basketball Games

January 13--Dylan had a game in the morning.

Blake had his in the afternoon.

They both did great. They are getting more shots and more rebounds. They both have a height advantage so playing defense isn't too bad for them.
