I think this post needs to begin by saying I suck these days as a blogger. I so haven’t made this blog a priority and I know I will regret it someday. So much happens with kids this age. Bret has been in Austin for the week. I miss him so much. I can not wait to hug him tomorrow. Nikki has missed him too. She has been acting out a little this week and I think it is because she misses her daddy. Justin has been star of the week at school. It is so fun to see him being the star. He brought Blackie to school on the first day. It is a lot of work to be the star of the week. He gets a special seat in the classroom, helps the teacher, dismisses rows, gets to wear a crown, goes in front of the line etc. does the weather, etc. Justin had to make a board to hang up in the classroom (pic down below). He had to bring in a snack to share with the class at the end of the week. We made bags of Kix cereal. On Tuesday the kids had a little Valentines party at school. It was cute, the kids got balloons, colored pictures, and decorated cupcakes. Justin got to take home, Kona the bear, the class mascot. We had to write a story about Kona. Here is what we wrote:
Kona enjoyed a special Valentine’s Day with me and my family. My sister, Nikki and I showed Kona all our Valentines that we got from our school friends. Kona met all our other stuffed animals, her favorite was big floppy dog. We took Kona on a little outing to Knotts Berry Farm. We took her on the mini roller coaster, the cars, and jumped with her in the snoopy bounce house. She was a little afraid of the person dressed up as Snoopy. She sat in my lap watching the stunt show. Mine and Kona’s favorite part was when the stunt show people fell in the water (we laughed). I also taught Kona all about the game “I Spy”. We even beat my mom in the game. So Kona and I made up our own I Spy and she decided to hide, can you find her? And Kona may have learned a few Tae Kwon Do moves after watching my sister and I in class.
We loved having Kona for the week.
Here are some pics from the week:
