End of the school year!

May 19, 2015

I can’t believe this school year is wrapped up! Both boys had their last day of school last week and I’m going to miss both of their little classes so much. They each had the sweetest classes with friends that I hope will be in their lives for a long time! I signed up to be the party mom for both of their classes and did these little buckets with a beach ball, candy and sunglasses…

I think the kids liked them. I also did cookies and popcorn for Spencer’s class while another mom did the food treats for Maxwell’s class.

Spencer did GREAT this year in his older toddlers class with Mrs. Alice. He really came alive – especially in terms of talking! – as the year went on and I know school played a huge part in that! We love Mrs. Alice!

He had an awesome year! Loved this note Mrs. Alice sent home…

So sweet.

Maxwell could not have asked for a better year either! Mrs. Kathy was wonderful for him. She loved him, he loved her and I love them both! Maxwell learned a TON this year. He’s a smart kid and I’m grateful that he has such a good school to encourage that even at a young age.

Not only did Maxwell love his class this year but he also loved doing Soccer Shots before school this semester. I went for the parent observation day and got a kick out of seeing his new skills!

School report

April 21, 2015

I had Maxwell’s parent/teacher conference recently and, man, it’s good to be Maxwell’s momma! There’s nothing better than getting a GLOWING report from your kid’s teacher. We sat down and the first thing Mrs. Kathy said was “Well, Maxwell has just stolen my heart!”  🙂 Love it!

Here’s the report from his conference earlier this year. Mrs. Kathy is just super pleased with how well he does in school. She says he comes in every day honestly eager to learn. She said you can tell he’s just soaking it all in and paying attention to everything. Here’s her little summary from the beginning and end of the year:

She also describes your kid using 4 words at the beginning of the year and again at the end. Maxwell’s words in the fall were: Kind, Inquisitive, Imaginative and Leader. Here are his words for the spring:

I’d say all of those describe him pretty well! Especially dependable and diligent! She remarked how she can always count on him to do exactly what he is supposed to do. As she said in conclusion, “Maxwell’s ready to go teach 4k next year!”  🙂

The night of the conference, we took the boys out to celebrate with some frozen yogurt. I’m so so proud of Maxwell and what a kind, responsible, good kid he is…I thought he deserved a little treat!

I love that kid!

Oh No

November 13, 2014

From Spencer’s teacher at school…

Mary Catherine and Stephanie,

I am sending both of you this picture of Spencer. He is putting his hands on his cheeks and saying “Oh No” just like Hamp does. I have tried to get a picture of Hamp doing this but he always moves. They do this when we walk through the school and come to one of the many locked doors. It is so funny to see both of them doing this like it’s a major problem. They all know I have the key to unlock the doors so they look at me when we get to the doors. So cute.

Love my sweet baby and his friends.

A hairbrush would have gone a long way!  He’s still cute though.

Unfortunately, Spencer was NOT feeling the pictures according to his teacher and wouldn’t even let her sit him down to even attempt a picture.  So, no lovely school pictures for Spencey.  Oh well. Here’s his from last year…

Maybe next year will be our year…or maybe not!  🙂

Open House

October 13, 2014

Happy Monday!

Last week the boys’ school had their Open House night where we got go see their rooms and meet their teachers again. I basically do that every time I take them to school, but it was a treat for Robert to get to see it all. We stopped by Spencer’s room first and said “hi” to Ms. Alice and then headed over to Maxwell’s room with Ms. Kathy…

She’s the sweetest, nicest lady and I’m so thankful Maxwell has her for his teacher! Same goes for Ms. Alice too!

It was a fun night!

See you tomorrow!
