Caden's season project

This is a project that Caden had to complete for Kindergarten.  His assignment asked him to dress this paper doll to represent his favorite season.  Caden chose summer!  For those of you who know him so well...I included his check list.  That is right.  He made a check list and actually checked the items off as he completed them.  We are so proud to say that he did EVERYTHING by himself.  I had a really hard time with this. I had so many ideas and things that would make it the best one in the class.  But then it would have been my paper doll. 

Working together...or it appears that way

 

Brooks was so excited that he was able to help Caden and Corley as they relocated some dirt and mulch around the yard.  They look like they are working so well.  And they were. For a while.

Our "Terrific Kid"

We are so proud of Caden.   He received the Terrific Kid Award for January from his teacher.  The award ceremony was so cute!  (Please excuse his hair.  We were trying something.  It didn't work!)

Can you tell how excited Corley was at the program?  She wanted to go and see Caden get his award.  I guess she didn't realized that it would be during naptime. 

Fun with 5

Michael and I were given the opportunity to experience life with 5 children. We kept the cousins while Leah and Mike were back at work over the holidays. It was really fun and much easier than we thought it would be. At the same time, we were so thankful that Michael took care of that issue last year. I do so love the advances in the medical field:) During the visit we went to the Greenville Zoo to see the baby giraffe and then had an early supper at the Downtown Greenville Airport.
