Turkey in Disguise!

Eli had to do a family project for school. We had to disguise a turkey, so it would survive Thanksgiving Dinner...lol!! It shouldn't be too much of a surprise that he wanted it to be spiderman!!

Eli's 50th Day of Kindergarten

The kindergarten classes dressed in 50's garb for the 50th day of school. This picture was in the school newsletter yesterday. Eli is in the back row - 4th from the left. I didn't think he would want to dress up, but he was really into it. He even let me slick his hair back. I love it when the kids let me play dress-up with them...LOL!!!

Proud Parents!

Tori was chosen by her teacher as the "Student of the Month". She was so excited and anxious to use the coupons she got from area businesses. She couldn't wait to see her picture in the paper.

Yummy Homework!

Abbey's science class just finished a unit on plant and animal cells. The teacher asks them to use their imaginations and build a 3D replica of a cell using whatever they chose. Abbey made hers out of a giant chocolate chip muffin, frosting, twix, twizzlers, jello and Mike & Ike's. Her

whole class had fun eating it after her presentation.

Picture Day!

It was stressful at our house this morning. If you have a preteen girl - you know what I mean...picture day is VERY important!!!!

Open House

Here is Eli at our school's Open House. In his classroom we had a scavenger hunt to show us all the stations around the room. His favorite place is the writing station...he loves to write and draw.

Here is Abbey showing me around one of her classrooms. She has 5 core class teachers, as well as, band (she plays the clarinet), music, art, pe, bal-a-vis-ics, and computer lab.

My baby is growing up!!

Eli had a great first day in kindergarten. Mom's day was not so good! It hit me a lot harder than I expected. He really likes his new teacher and has already asked the little girl "with the pink shirt and yellow hair" who sits next to him if she will marry him :) . He is so adorable.

Big Sixth Graders!

Here is Abbey with her friend, Alyssa. They are enjoying the fact that they "rule" the school this year as big 6th graders. Abbey's last year of grade school...she's growing up so fast!!
