Jared's art work that he got to bring home last Monday.
Lauren has pretty much taught herself how to ride a bike. A couple of weeks ago I ran around the quad with her once. She has been really persistent about seeking out bikes around the quad that are small enough that she can put her feet down on...and then just trying it. She is a pretty good little rider now.
Wednesday Jared had a class talent show. For his act he recited Hat by Shel Silverstein...with props. Wednesday was also ready to learn. We got Chicken Soup with Rice...reminded me of Lindsay's I can read note book. We also had a quick trip to the library. That night Jared Lauren and Brad went to Jeff and Elizabeth house for a bit so Jeff and Elizabeth could practice their face painting skills. Jared came home with a dragon on each cheek and swords, flags, and shields down each arm. Lauren got flowers one cheek and ...I don't remember on the other. Brad got stars and other various things on his arms. They were all very sad they had to wash them off that night.
Thursday Jared had to go to kindergarten at the morning time. They practiced their dance for the last day of school, got to meet a first grade teacher, and have lunch in the cafeteria. I thought he was going to get to meet the teacher that would be his next year...I think that's how they have done it in the past...but they aren't sure if they will have two or three regular classes next year...so they didn't tell anyone who their teacher will be. Jared said he had a fun day at school that day. We made another quick trip to the library too.
Thursday Alan came home a little early and worked on getting bunk beds set up in the room that didn't have any. It took him most of the evening, but Lauren happily sleeps on the bottom bunk...and boxes fill the top....this is almost done with the set up...we don't have one in it's current state, but Alan says it's not done yet.
Friday morning was Jared's field day at school. The rest of us went to help and watch....all week had been really nice, warm, and sunny...Friday was not!!! It was super blustery and cool. After about an hour they sent everyone inside...We got in just before the rain...He got to finish doing musical chairs in the music room, but then had to go back to his classroom. Aside from being cold I think Jared had a good time. In the afternoon we went to a friend's house to play. That evening we went to a barbecue up in quad 2... It was fun to see some of our friends there.
Saturday we got a few things around here done in the morning. Then in the afternoon we went to the astrofest down on campus. It was tons of fun!!!! There were free planetarium shows (Lauren called it the lambitarion), rocket building and launching, star wheels, solar telescopes, bounce houses (astronaut training) and glasses to see the eclipse tonight. We had a good time.
Today was a good day. I did singing time and Alan taught. We had a nice relaxing day and were able to watch the eclipse tonight. We were able to see it really well...except for when the sun was almost totally covered...it got a little cloudy right then..and the sun was so dark it was hard to see with the glasses on.
I don't think I mentioned last week that Jared gave a talk in primary all by himself...he did a great job.
So one day last week the kids were selling newspapers (the ads that come in the mail and copies of The Universe )..or as their sign said nooz papers... On the balcony...there were no takers. I told them they had to come in and bring in all the papers with them. They brought them in and dropped them right in the walkway. Between their coloring earlier in the day and banding the papers the front room floor was totally covered...I said don't just drop them there...We don't live in the garbage dump...to which one of my lovely children said who cares...and it probably isn't the one you are guessing (unless you guessed the red head).
Just one more week of school until SUMMER!!!!!
