Traditions



This is one of my favorite Christmas Traditions, I look forward to it as much as my children do. Lucky for me I have a cute neighbor who's hubby is gone a lot at this time of year so the two of us get together as much as our schedules permit and do lots of fun activities with our kids.

On another note, Kaytlin made it into the Geography Bee, and today was the finals for who would go on. First of all, I would like to give her credit for even making it in the first place, and second for doing it. She was so nervous to be up in front of all of her peers. I am very proud of her. If it were me at that age I probably would have been making fake throw up and putting it in the toilet so that my mom would think that I was sick just so that I didn't have to get up in front of everyone. So although she will not go on any further in the Bee, I'm so proud of her for even being smart enough to make it at all! Love you Bug!

Best friends are the greatest!

After many tantrums, and much whining about doing his math homework, a knock came at the door. I told Kate that if it was for Austin to say that he couldn't play until his homework was done. However it was Matt. Now, I have a very soft spot in my heart for this little guy because he and Austin are very best friends, and I love there friendship. So... I told Matt he could come in and wait for Austin to be done with his homework hoping that this might help him get it done faster and with out any further boobing. Matt came inside, and says Austin what kind of math is it? Austin said "stupid hard math!" Matt then says to Austin "oh I bet I could help you do this." They then worked together and got it done in about three minutes. Thanks Matt! After they were done they got to go smash little cars out on the side walk, a favorite activity of theirs. : )
Trent's science cake, he had to build a plant cell and label it. Since he loves candy so much, he decided to build it out of treats. (chocolate cake, jolly ranchers, minni pancake, yarn, gum, and jaw breakers) So creative....
