Artsy

My fridge is starting to overflow so it's time to clean out Reed's art work.

(Yes, you can actually see the fridge magnets on some of them.)

Famous cartoons:

 

 

Animals:

 

 

Preparing for battle:

 

 

 

And what I can only assume was a wish for me to have a Happy Valentine's Day:

Two of My Least Favorite Things

I'm not a fan of April Fools or field trips.

So I almost laughed when I saw that the 1st grade had planned their zoo field trip for today.

 

 

JR wanted to do an April Fools on the morning announcements.

He asked if he could say that the 4th and 5th graders would have to retake the STAAR test today because the principal lost them yesterday.  The principal said no, that too many kids would go home and say she really did loose them, and she'd get too many emails.

 

 

She did let them announce that the 1st and 2nd grade field trips had been cancelled due to weather.

You can't hear the other announcer telling them, but you can hear Kyle's class react to the "April Fools!"

So to the teacher that planned an April Fools field trip to the zoo, thank you so much.

I really enjoyed having the kids tell me there was a spider/roach/monkey/bird/insert zoo animal of choice on my shoulder every five minutes today.

 

 

Good thing they're so cute.

 

Happy B-Day

I had lunch with my daddy for his birthday today.

 

 

 

 

And since I'm not nearly as fun to look at as little calves and kids.  Here's pictures with my dad and all the kids...with calves.

 



Leftovers

So here's what didn't make the cut for March.

 

Kyle eating a cinnamon roll.

 

 

 

These two modeling their costumes for their Texas A-Z show

.

They're excited to report they got speaking parts in the 1st grade spring musical/play "Bugs". 

Reed is Stink Bug (the only sting bug in the show)

and Kyle is a cricket. (All the boys in Kyle's class are crickets.)

 

bumper cars

 

JR with the Houston Rodeo mascot.

Reed up to bat.

 

 

 

I think he's trying to throw a gang sign.

 

 

JR snuggling/getting kisses from a calf.

Kyle "swimming" during spring break.

I Might Have Had 2 Snow Cones

We went over to Camp Olympia yesterday for their open house since all the kids are going this summer.

(JR is going for 3 weeks, and Kyle and Reed are going for a week.)

 

 

We couldn't stay very long, but we were able to get in some....

 

 canoeing

and minigolf

 

 

and whatever this is called

and the rock wall

 

And, of course, snow cones.

 

 

Yep, it was a good day.

Fashion Fabulous Friday

 

 

If cleats had looked this fancy when I was a kid, maybe I would have played sports.

 

 

Who are we kidding?  A tu-tu always wins.

We Let Them Pick

We've never really let Kyle and Reed do different activities. (Just to make it easy on ourselves.)

This spring, Kyle decided he didn't want to play baseball, but take tae kwon do instead.

And though he likes tae kwon do, he's discovered it isn't much fun going to a baseball game to watch all your friends and brother play.

 

 

Especially when they've won all their games.

Tonight's game: 16-0 

 2 runs by Reed

 

 

I expect to see Kyle on the baseball field next spring.
