The Castle

The other day the boys were in the playroom playing so nicely with each other. Anyway they called me in to see what they made and they made a castle and were so proud of it. Probably becasue Chase did not knock it down as they were building!!

Kindergarten Thanksgiving Show

On Friday the kindergarten classes put on a Thanksgiving show. They sang a few songs and did a few poems. They did a fantastic job!! Bryce got to announce the whole show since this was on the same day and his principal of the day. He did a great job, he was loud and spoke clearly and slowly!!

HOP A THON AND TURKEY TROT

Today at Fort Washington Elementary is was the annual HOP A THON and TURKEY TROT. The HOP A THON raises money for Muscular Dystrophy. The kids have to hop for 1 minute. After that the whole school went on a 1 1/2 mile walk around the community. It was a beautiful day and Chase and I went along. We had a good time and hope that it is this nice again next year!!

The whole school jumping and watching the clock!!

PRINCIPAL OF THE DAY

Today was Bryce's day to be the principal. He was sooooo excited!! I went in the visit and he was helping to do the announcements. He also got a walkie talkie and a hat. Mr. DelCollo will be having lunch with him and then I am not sure what else they have planned.

All ready to go...

Chase's New Favorite Toy

Chase's new favorite thing to play is  the Thomas the Train toys. He brought them up to the table the other day and was playing so nicely!!

Disguise a Turkey

Bryce's Thanksgiving project this week was to disguise his turkey so it would not get eaten. He told us that he wanted to make it  Steeler's football player because his teacher is a big Steeler's fan!!! Here is what the finished project looked like.

American Education Week

This was was American Education Week. I spent part of the day in Bryce's class, had recess and then went to lunch with him. It was a fun day. We had math workshop. I learned a ton of what they are doing and some fun activities to do at home. We are very excited to start working on them. Here are a few pictures. We are waiting for his teacher to send us the one of Bryce and I. When I get it I will post it.

Bryce was reading me words that he wrote from walking around his classroom!!

Funny Stuff

Bryce and I were snuggling tonight on the couch and I asked him if he would snuggle with me forever. He said yes. I said what about when you are 10, the answer was still yes. Then I asked if he would still snuggle with me when he was 15...the answer was NO!!! I guess I should take what I can get!!!

Today I was going to the bathroom in a public restroom and Chase was with me. I was getting out the toilet paper and Chase asked me what I was doing. I said I was wiping. He said, "I don't like toilet paper. I like my diapers. They are comfy and fit me just right." So I guess that means that potty training is till FAR away!!

Today I turned on some Christmas music in the car as we were driving around. No sooner did it start and Chase said, "I hear Christmas music Mommy!!" (with a BIG smile on his face) I then proceeded to tell him that it was our secret and we couldn't tell Daddy. We did get busted by him later on that night...UGH!! We were told not until Thanksgiving night. At least not while he is in the car
