Random October 2013

A note from Jordan written for the parent open house. "Dear Mom + Dad, Thank you for being the best mom and dad in the world! I hope you enjoy all of your hugs kisses! Thank you for making dinner and working every night. I hop you had a safe walk here. Thank you for coming to back to school night. Love, Jordan"

Kailyn, Jordan and Ava playing twister.

Sweet Ava.

Silly Chase.

Caden teasing Chase.

Chase pretending to nap.

Ava loves to dress up. Trying on Jordan's skirt.

Here is Ava is playing pretend. She was using the dish towels as blankets.

Kailyn had to create a plant cell using edible ingredients. We used colorless jello which was giving us problems. She spent a lot of time trying to get it work and then the next day school was canceled due to a huge rainstorm that caused massive flooding. All that work to just to throw it away (because of the coming weekend and no school Monday her teacher emailed the class and told them to just take a picture and then throw them away)

Our superhero Ava had an exciting day fighting crime. All that crime fighting apparently wore her out. Here she is asleep wearing her towel superhero cap.

One day the kids were having fun trying to draw pictures. I told them they should try drawing with their left hand. Then I told them to try and draw blindfolded. Then it just snowballed from there and soon they were trying to draw blindfold with their feet. It was great. Our kids and their friends were entertained for hours and just laughing hysterically over the things they created. I loved watching them laugh and have fun with their friends.

Caden demonstrating the blindfolded, foot drawing.

Kailyn giving it a try.

Jordan and her creations.

The kids love to tie their blankets around their necks and pretend they are capes. Notice Ava and Caden's "capes."
