Ethan had his Kindergarten Music Program today...it was so cute :) All of the songs were about animals, the theme at his school this year is "safari".


The Kangaroo Hop


Hakuna Matata


Don't know the name of this song - it's all in Spanish!

3rd, 4th and 5th Days of Christmas!

Ethan being out sick, messed up our teacher gift...she got 3 today :)

For the third day of Christmas, I bring 3 binder clips.

I'm sure it could be tempting to use them on my lips!

For the fourth day of Christmas, dry erase markers come in four.

As my kindergarten teacher, you really help me soar.

For the fifth day of Christmas, some popcorn for a snack.

Sorry, that's all the food I could fit in my backpack!

Family Feast

Ethan's school had their Thanksgiving Family Feast today. They piled everyone into the cafeteria, and when you saw your kid you had to hurry and get in line with them...it was crazy. Then we had 20 minutes to eat this delicious lunch.....


Looks delicious, no? Let's just say Ethan was very glad that he brought his usual lunch of a peanut butter sandwich and didn't have to eat "the feast".


This was super cute. Each kid colored a turkey, and different colors stood for different things. If you had siblings, color your beak yellow, if not, orange. If you like turkey, brown body, if not black, etc. Then you had to figure out which turkey was your child's and their picture is underneath. I guesses Ethan's on the first try :)

Today was career day at school - and Ethan made it through the entire day with no fever!! Yay!! At first, he said he wanted to work at McDonald's, but then he changed his mind, and at the moment he wants to be an eye doctor when he grows up, BUT he has to go to college close to home because he wants to live with me forever :)

This evening we went to a haunted house/Halloween party thrown by Bill's work. The chicken boys (and me) wouldn't go in the haunted house, so we snuck in the back and played the games and got the candy. They were giving away brand new books and DVDs, I think we ended up with 6 or 7 movies and 2 books and a ton of candy. Oh, and they gave us pumpkins too, so we can carve them tomorrow.
How cute is this peanut butter cup...it has a pumpkin face!!

Report card day!! It's hard to believe Kindergarten is a quarter over already. Soon it will be Christmas, and he'll be half done..yikes! We had a conference with Ethan's teacher tonight. He had his last screening today for the gifted program, so we should be finding out pretty soon if he'll be accepted into it. His teacher has high hopes for him and really hopes he'll get in. She said that she is now sending him 2 days a week to do 1st grade math & reading. His first report card was awesome, 100 in math, reading, technology, gym, and music and a 95 in Art.
