Allie’s bday
Violin performance
Just over two weeks.
Yes, posted again. By accident at first because I realized I posted this on the last post. Then, I saw it again, I certainly cannot delete it. I don't know if others see what I see when I look at this sweet boy. All his beautiful traits that I'm so very in love with, his sweet innocence. His mouse. I love every single thing about this human.
The little set up at Home Depot where we got our tree.
Our Elf Snowflake playing tricks...this is the end of the zip line, into the bowl with her friends.
What elf ziplines? Snowflake. That's who.
Cool toys from school therapists!
Drawing real parts to bodies!
Everett loves the Christmas Tree and lights!
A squishy toy,
they. are. too. big
This little girl is getting really good at bumping the ball!
Bingo in class
My beauty
Lots of glue coming off the bottom
Clara and Thomas, school bffs
At another appointment, these kids are used to this life. It's nice when they have cool games to play!
When you have early risers and you're not ready to rise. Ipad AM it is...
Silly girl
Everett has been drawing pictures in my class and giving them to me, this is new. He usually just colors and leaves his pages around. Lately he brings them to me with a smile. Sweetest gifts. I love every single one!
Cutie patootie - Saturday we had a day, I mean a DAY! First Xmas party with mr and mrs claus - this is our fourth year going to the Elks club for this event. Joe, an older man that used to drive for Toyota asked us to go four years ago and he no longer works at Toyota for health related reasons :( but he still asks us to go. Then we had Kingston's birthday party, then Clara's violin performance, then Allie's birthday party, and then mom's work Christmas party. Dad stayed home with the kids this year. We couldn't find a sitter and E has also been waking up sad and I wouldn't want to leave him without one of us in his condition although he's doing remarkable.
Tree skirt is now on, plastic bag not pretty. But the little girls is quite pretty if I do say so myself!
Everett making the toot noise from his mouth. His new favorite silly thing, toot noises from your mouth! This cheered him up in the hospital one morning with Andre. He still laughs just as hard. Daddy sure knows how to make him laugh!
Clara was next in line at the Xmas party for a balloon. There is a balloon guy and she requests a dog on a leash, bubs got one too, they both love this part of the party!
Cookie frosting
Everett kept petting Santa
My love
I love her excitement for Christmas. It's seriously in the blood. I don't have to do or say anything, she has always been obsessed. This Saturday packed full of fun had her up so early, also in the blood. Since a week before she turned six she started getting less sleep. It has been taking her a while to fall asleep and then she is up at the crack. Sounds a bit like myself and my siblings/family, especially on my mom's side.
My second love
I love their love fests
Third Event, Violin. Oh, and I finally did them in the right order on my phone which thankfully isn't putting pics upside down anymore but it's mixing them all up when I upload them, so this will be back and forth and all over, good luck keeping up!
Ms. Matz - the violin teacher - so sweet.
Everett got his present
I asked her to get her violin unpacked. We were a tad late due to our event but it didn't matter bc she goes on last and the little ones are expected to sit and listen to the performance before theirs. It's LONG. They all sound great this year but it's a long wait for the littles to just sit. Clara is very particular and remembers to rosin her violin before she goes. I love that she is a rule follower, that I'm sure is a trait of both parents.
She gave Joe a hug and told him she loved him.
Mrs. Claus looks a tad scary at some points, I'm not certain if she really likes her job.
Joe <3
Hair cut time, Sunday, almost a month, WOW time flies! When we went to the appointment Friday to check the incision, they asked me if I was massaging soap into his incision daily. I was never told this. I thought for a second maybe they told Andre and he thought I knew?! Nope. They told me to run soapy water down it, that's it. I think the PA was surprised to see so much left there still, but she said it was fine. I cannot touch this. Andre cannot, Clara tried and cannot. I used a wash cloth after letting water run over it a lot from a cup and I think it cleaned up a bit. A lot of the glue anyway.
Work party, Lisa hosted. Her stairs! So cute!
I dropped Daddy off with Clara to skate for Allie's party and took E home to eat. I met them back here after and he took the kids home so I could go to the work party. The day all worked out perfect although we were late to the birthday parties.
These three cuties: Juliet, Julia, Clara
Party time. Lisa and Mimi have everything perfect!
true concentration
Daddy and E took a nap before/during the violin performance. E woke up hurting and I forgot the Tylenol, daddy saved the day and ran out to get some right away!
My angel waiting for her turn
Angel is on! BUT, she doesn't work anymore. :(
We have a small real tree in the play room and Kristin's beautiful fake tree in the living room. I love it because you can see it out the window. I love when you can see Christmas trees when driving by houses.
Some of my fav work peeps, I can't believe I've been at this school for almost eight years!
Um, this little lady passed her first reading counts quiz. I have some third graders who still cannot read a book and pass a quiz. Other than helping her with three words and knowing how to get to the program on the computer, she is doing this all on her own. We studied sight words last year and sounded out basic CVC words, and NOW, this girl is full on reading books at quite a high level on her own! It's crazy! She took off and I'm loving it. she reads to me in the car, before bed, in my classroom. I'm so proud of her. PS - Everett is reading the K level books. It's so crazy! He doesn't know how to sound the words out like she does but he watches all the videos and memorizes so fast. These two amaze me!
