100 Day

A few days after all our sickness was over, it was our 100 days of school celebration.  I loved how the schools I have taught in in the past, celebrated 100 day.   So, of course, I had to do it for my kids at home as well.  There were many activities of counting out 100 items.  My favorite was the M&Ms.  We counted by 1's, 2's, 5's, and 10's.  Then of course enjoyed a snack (which really was lunch) of 100 items, ten items of 10 different things.  


Adorable enjoyed some of the snacks he got as well. 

There was also counting out 100 black beans and incorporating them into a picture. 

 And we had to count out 100 Fruit Loops to put on a 100 necklace.



We did other things, like find 100 words around the house, do 100 steps, jumping jacks, etc.  But for sure we had too much junk food!  Next year I'll have to find a way to make it more healthy... and hey, maybe I'll just keep the count going so next year it is 200! :)

Handsome's Birthday

For Handsome's birthday he wanted to decorate his cake himself.  He even drew a picture of what he wanted it to look like to help me understand.  So I made up the frosting, and he did the rest (OK, I may have helped smooth out the frosting a bit).





He was very proud of the finished product.  We had a small family celebration on his actual birthday, but then had an extended party (combined with Adorable's birthday too) later on.



And I just had to put this in to remind myself that it snowed the day before and a number of days after Handsome's birthday!!! I can't believe it.  I keep putting any the snow clothes and then having to pull them out again.  This is not normal for the northwest!

My Boys


It seems life has been very busy latley and blogging has just been one of those things that has fallen to the bottom of my list.  There are a lot of things I want to blog about.  But for now I'll give you a picture of my two boys who recently turned one year older!


And it looks like Blogger has changed a LOT of things since I've been gone. I'll have to figure it all out again. :)
