Happy Mommy

By far one of my favorite sights ~
watching Hinton reading to Kason.

Just Killing Time

Making faces in the mirror.  What else are you supposed to do while you're waiting for big brother to get out of school?

More quarters "found"

Hinton got a quarter map for his birthday in November, and we've slowly been trying to fill it up.  On her last visit Grandma had written down all of the states he was still missing, and when she came this time she had found a bunch for him!  Thank you, Grandma!

Almost filled!

Just Dance!

Kason insisted that he wanted to play Just Dance on the Wii.  The results were pretty entertaining.

Hinton's Bird Presentation (video)

Hinton had his bird presentation this afternoon!  The presentations were given in a big room full of his classmates and a bunch of parents.  I am very proud of him.  His teacher started out by taking volunteers, alternating girl/boy, and his hand shot right up and he was the first boy to present.  I asked him on the drive home if he had been nervous at all, or if it was just fun, and he said, "a little bit of both."

I know the sound quality on the video is awful, and that is Kason cough cough coughing next to me, but you can watch his presentation HERE.

"We're ready to go!" (Two days early.)

In the excitement and anticipation of visiting grandma and grandpa this weekend, the boys "packed" for themselves!

Lost Tooth Selfies

Hinton wanted to show off his lost tooth, again.

And now, goofy faces!  Wait - why am I the only one with a goofy face?

Year Seven, Month Three

Friday Afternoon Playdate

We have a playdate with Jaxx and Paige almost every Friday afternoon.

This afternoon we walked up the hill
to Jaxx and Paige's house to play in the backyard.

Jaxx read everyone a story.

Walking back to Aunt Barbara's.

Hinton's Bird Poster

Hinton is doing a presentation on The Peregrine Falcon. 
His homework this week is to make a poster to use during his presentation.

Who wants big brother to get all of the photos?  Kason wanted some attention too.

Soda Taste Test

The boys have never had soda before, so we let them try Root Beer tonight.

The results:  Two thumbs down!
They are not a fan of the carbonation.

"I don't like it, I don't like it! 
Do I have to finish it?"

Building A Birdhouse

Hinton's class is doing a bird unit, and today someone from
the Audobon Society came and helped them build birdhouses.

Brandon had the day off, so I was able to go in and help too.

Two-Man Band, Take 2

Kason, Year Three, Month Ten

 

He wanted the little tiger to be in his photos this month too.

Another Lost Tooth!

This is the note Hinton left for the tooth fairy tonight(!)
Poor kiddo is in for a disappointment.

"can I have one hundred dollars"

Hinton's stories

Aside from recess (of course),

Hinton's favorite thing to do in school is write stories.
