Go Texan Day







Friday was Go Texan Day at school. Hunter got a shiny new pair of cowboy boots, which he won't take off, and a cool cowboy shirt, as he calls it, that my neighbor Christie made. (Isn't it so cute!)







These are his new boots I got at "Payless"...I'm very upset with "Payless" because it is no longer "Payless" to me anymore! These things were like $24!! Seriously!?!? Good thing I got them 2 sizes too big!




Right before we left for school all decked out in our Go Texan gear. I took the kindergarten class on a "trail ride" complete with trail mix we made in their homemade "saddle bags" to eat on the way to our campsite which had a fire (fake) and some dinner cookin' (pork n beans) which they all ate up! Overall it was a fun day and Hunter loved being a cowboy for a day. He even woke up this morning asking to put in his boots.

Today...so far...

I asked Hunter to show me his "Happy Face" and this is what I got...hmmm???



Then I decided that painting would be fun...
But, why paint the paper when you can paint yourself?



And why stop at your belly? Why not paint your face?




And of course your neck should be painted too, right?



And then, TaaDaa! A happy little masterpiece! He's so proud of his work!



Which then brings us to lunch...

Which tells you what we did this morning before we painted...
1. Poured out all of his money and scattered it all over the table
2. Chainsawed (is that a word?) the money onto the floor
3. Then read some books

So far, today has been a great day! I can't wait to see what the afternoon will be like! I honestly love days like this! It is so great to be able to watch Hunter having so much fun. I really cherish days like today (even when I'm getting beaten by a pair of HUGE green Hulk fists) because I don't get many of them.

Valentine's Day

We've been needing a new sink, so after a very romantic dinner at Chick-Fil-A, we went and got us a new sink! So...here's what Lee did on Valentine's night...

He put in our new sink! Now, the water actually turns all the way off when you push the handle down. AND...yes, there's more good news...the hot and cold water are on the sides they're meant to be on! WOO HOO!!!!!! Now, when I go to this lovely new beauty of a sink, I forget what side the hot and cold are on. A good problem to have, and I'll get the hang of it sooner or later!

My Science Class



This was something I've always wanted to do. I did a solid, liquid, gas unit in my science class last month and what better experiment to do than the mentos/diet coke one? I was quite impressed with the height of this diet coke fountain as you can see, so I thought I'd share.

Let's go to the Hop







Last Friday at school, we had a sock-hop complete with an Elvis concert. All the kids had a blast dancing to the fun music. And, you all would be proud, I had a big day...I wore lipstick, a skirt, AND I DANCED!!! Whew! Afterwards we went with some friends to Johnny Rockets to enjoy burgers, fries, and yummy milkshakes.










Hunter was not a happy camper that morning.


The skirts we made



Hunter-Still not a happy camper







Not a fan of getting his picture taken with Elvis
