100 DAY OF SCHOOL!!!

The kids had their 100th day of school. When I taught kindergarten it was the most anticipated day of the year! It was so fun to see them so excited about it.

They were supposed to wear their pajamas to school that day and bring 100 things.

Merrick counted out 100 legos.

The engineer in him made 10 groups of 10 legos in each group.

And look how excited he was!

Berkleigh couldn't find anything to bring and was sad. 

Then she got the "greatest" idea ever!

"Mom, I want to bring 100 sprinkles!"

Oh man! Guess how long that took to count out 100 teeny tiny sprinkles?

Wow. We were almost late for school it took so long.

I love my little counters to 100. 

They are so excited about school and it makes me happy.

I am just kinda sad that 100 days of kindergarten have already passed. 

Soon they will be ready for first grade and I just want them to be little forever.

sunny sunday

We had a pretty sunny sunday. It was a perfect day for a drive into the country and to a small park in a small town.

Berkleigh's style cracks me up.
So many stripes here...

Super ecstatic to be on this walk.

Discussing manly things up ahead.

Cute little Quincy feet.

The 6 yr old hams.

Yes, I was there.

And the little thespian hams again..

Small towns are so cool.

3rd wheel

She always wants to be in on their fun.

Good thing they love to hang out with her, and don't mind her grabbing their toys and messing up their games...

Mom's Movie Theater

I was at Costco the other day and saw Wreck it Ralph.

We hadn't see it yet, and I thought, why not surprise the kids when they get home from school with a movie and popcorn... it was pouring down rain outside, and it sounded fun.

I bought the movie, finished my errands and went home.

Then crazy Jen came out.

I made a poster for the door...

Set the movie up with the popcorn and candy...

and got out the air mattress and lots of pillows and blankets.

Q was in heaven!

and Quincy and I waited for the big kids to get home from school...

Rainy day activities include...

laying on the floor...

making FLUBBER!

play some Guess Who?...

trying milk, food coloring, and dish soap experiments...

Learning how rain works...

building crazy rockets...

blowing up balloons with a bottle, baking soda, and vinegar...

They did not think it would work, but look at their faces. Shock and awe.

building pets to play with cause your mom won't buy you a bird

 (What? They are gross.)

It is a gorgeous day outside, so now that Quincy is up we are heading to the great outdoors...

without an umbrella or a coat.

ciao.

"teefers"

Quincy is finally getting teeth...

and I am starting to realize this girl dances to the beat of her own drum.

She has one top front tooth, one bottom front tooth, and is working on two molars.

It is straight up Snaggle Rock of here.

Just so you can see, document and know I am not lying...

There is one of the four teeth

and a booger.

tic tac toe

Merrick and Berkleigh were in the shower and they were playing tic tac toe...
