Goodbye Cast!

Today was another appointment for Ashton.   They first removed the black cast.  After that, they took more xray pictures of his arm to make sure the bone still looked good.  Everything looked great!  Hooray!

Dr. Seuss Fun!

Today at school they had a Dr. Seuss Birthday Party.  It was put on by the PTA so I was able to help out.  Here are some pictures of the event (plus a few other Seuss pictures from this week)

This is a fun craft that Ryan's class did today.  Since I was the mom helper, I had Brinley make one.  This is hers.

This is a bed sheet that a student teacher painted for our party tonight.  It was used for a fishing game.  The same teacher painted the Thing 1 and Thing 2 photo prop.  Quite talented!!

Snow Day!

Today the kids had a snow day.    A few weeks ago my friends and I purchased a "groupon deal" for a local Bounce House Fun Center.  We purchased this with the plan that we would use it on the next snow day.  Well today was the day.

On the drive to the bounce house in Lexington I commented on how pretty the snow and ice was.  Brinley commented, "it looks like Jack Frost was here last night!"

Here are a couple of pictures of the ice followed by a few bounce house pictures.  It is nearly impossible to get a good picture of them playing since they are constantly on the go-go-go!

Teeth

Today I took all four kids to the dentist for cleanings.  Luckily they were all cavity free!  Ryan had a loose tooth when we arrived and when the hygeniest was blowing the air on his tooth, it would flip up.  She ended up just pulling it.  When it was out, it was easy to see why it was sooo loose.  The other tooth was already quite a ways out.


We found out that Ethan has only 1 baby tooth left - so he gets to visit the orthodontist soon . . . . like Monday.

We found out that Ashton has 5 loose teeth, Brinley has 4 loose teeth.

All in all it was a nice dental visit.  Hooray!

Reflections 2012-2013

We received word this week that all 3 boys' photographs are moving on to State in the PTA Reflections competition.  This means they won at the school level and the district level.  If they win at the State level, they move onto Nationals.  We are very happy and proud!

Ethan's entry was called "Rainbow Glory".  He took this picture on our way home from St. Louis during Fall Break.  We were in Indiana . . .



Ashton's entry was called "Flying Museum" and was taken at an Air Show in Frankfort, KY.



Ryan has (2) photographs moving on.  One is called "I Pledge Allegience" and the other is called "The Beautiful Red Rose".  The eagle picture was taken at Grant's Farm in St. Louis.  I think the rose picture was taken at Rainforest Adventure Zoo in Gatlingburg, TN.  To be perfectly honest . . . I THINK these are the pictures that moved on.  He had several pictures and I am a little confused.  I will update if these are incorrect.  We get to attend a reception in April in their honor.




Ethan's School Project - The Three Little Pigs

Today Ethan has a project due.  He had to make a shoebox display of a Folktale Story.  He chose The Three Little Pigs.  I thought he did an amazing job!
