The Blues Brothers…and Sister

September 28, 2016

Along with the cute photos you saw yesterday, I also got several not so cute ones…but they did make me laugh!

Spencer was really happy for pictures…

and then too happy! ha!

I told Maxwell to “sit up straight” and got this, along with Spencer’s variety of faces…

This one is actually pretty cute, I just wish Maxwell was looking at the camera…

and then I got this which just cracks me up. I didn’t pose them like this, they just all stood there. I didn’t nail the exposure and it’s a little dark and fuzzy which is too bad because I kind of think it’s awesome!

Love this crazy crew!

Would love to hear from you! 1 Comment

Sunday Blues

September 27, 2016

We all made it up to church Sunday and my crew looked so cute in their blue I had to get my camera out. In an attempt to get Samantha to stand close to her brothers and to try and get everyone to look happy, I told her to give her brothers a hug. I love how they turned out.  🙂

Those definitely remind me of our Christmas card picture a little bit!

There were hugs for all…

Adventure playground

September 26, 2016

Happy Monday! It was a great weekend but still so hot, so so hot. I’m done with these 95 degree days and ready for some crisp, cool weather! Despite the temps, the kids and I still made it down to the new elementary school playground where they had a blast and I melted. It really is a cool playground with all sorts of fun things to climb on.

Spencer went across this spider web several times all by himself!

He was proud of himself – and I was too!

Maxwell went super high on the Eiffel Tower thing – higher than the kindergarteners are allowed to go during recess!  🙂

And don’t ask me how those two boys were making it in their long pants! It was sweltering! But, they love their long pants and I gave up that fight a while ago.

Can’t wait to play more in some fall temps soon!

Weekend ready

September 23, 2016

Who’s tired and ready for the weekend?

tired

Clearly we are! That guy had a busy week battling the dark side of the force…he also had a full week of kindergarten with an ear infection. Yep, took him to the doctor on Monday and poor guy had an ear infection. After a dose or two of bubblegum medicine, he was back to normal and didn’t miss a beat…though clearly he was a little more tired than usual.

This one also had a bit of a cold so stayed home from school on Monday but had a great day at school on Wednesday! No crying at drop off! Mrs. Laura said her personality is really starting to come through and that she’s a hoot! ha! She said you can definitely see she has no problems making her opinion known! 🙂  That’s my Tootie!

This guy is the only one that has escaped the congestion around here.

Let’s hope it stays that way!

Have a great weekend!

Boosterthon

September 21, 2016

One of the big fundraisers at Maxwell’s elementary school is boosterthon. The kids get people to sponsor them a $1 or $2 for each lap they run. It’s quite a big deal and the kids earn prizes for how many sponsors they get…not sure I totally agree with all of it but, it is what it is. The school goes all out for the weeks leading up to it. One of the things they have is a door decorating contest. Parents are supposed to decorate the classroom door in the Boosterthon theme (which was something to do with movies this year) in advance of the run. Well, our class didn’t learn about this until 8:30 pm the night before it was supposed to be done. Since I’m assistant room mom and we live so close, I pulled some stuff together and got over there at 6:30am to decorate that door! Thank goodness for a good printer, a nice wrapping paper stash, and plenty of tape!

It wasn’t what I would have done with more time, but it turned out ok considering I put it together the night before!

The day of the Boosterthon was fun for the kids. It was a glow run which they loved.

After the run they all got to go outside and have popsicles.

According to Maxwell’s bracelets, he ran 57 laps. But, they only charged us for 35. I think that was the max they said kids would run and, considering it was a really small lap, I’m sure they just average it out. A big thank you to all of Maxwell’s sponsors – GJ, Daddo, Susu, Lulu, Granddaddy, and Susan!

Guess we better get used to Boosterthon – we’ll be doing it for many more years!
