What a Mess!



Mia's Primary teacher gave her some homemade play dough a few Sunday's ago. And Dave... allowed the kids to play with the homemade goo in unsupervised in their Sunday clothes. I was dumbfounded WHY? WHY? WHY? Would you give kids homemade play dough and let them loose with it?

After getting the gross substance all over themselves and their clothes, they left it in the tree house and the squirrel got into it too. Let's just say tree house fared much worse than the kids hands and clothes. It was so gross.

Daniel with Witchey and Pokey



Daniel's Kindergarten teacher Miss Emily is quite amazing! For the Halloween party his class made apple witches (my hands were covered with hot glue gun burns for a week). Daniel named his witch "Witchey" and he lived on our mantel until the Christmas decorations went up. We have saved 'Witchey" for next year and I am sure he will be making an appearance every Halloween from now on.

Pokey is his other new friend courtesy of Miss Emily. She grew gourds in her garden at home and glued eyes on them. Then each student was sent home with a gourd to name, decorate and write a story about their gourd. Daniel name his "Pokey" and wrote a very cute story about Pokey and Witchey becoming friends and living happily ever after.

Reflections




Daniel and Mia has the chance to go to Disneyland with my sister Rebekah in November, but the night before they left they finished thier entries for the PTA Reflections contest. The topic this year was "Wow". Daniel choose to do a Barn Owl and Mia wanted to do a lion, They were both painted with acrylic on illustration board. And both kiddletts won honorable mention. Good Job Guys!
