tidbits

The 100th day of school was sometime this past week, I think it was officially Tuesday… Aiden's class took some rotations with the other classes in his family.  Each teacher had a different activity.  His class all brought in 100 items to add to a snack mix (or as I like to call it a germ mix of food all counted out by grubby paws and then dumped into a big mix to fish out with germ paws, but no one is sick yet ;)).   The picture he drew of him at 100 years old is one of my favorites - the subtle nose and ear hair!  The drawing on the right has 12 100s hiding in it. 

Keaton finished out a cycle of swim class and passed to PeeWee Paddler 2.  His teacher this cycle was so wonderful and really kept all their attention so well!

This dry erase board was a full on collaborative effort between the brothers.  They each drew different parts - I think Keaton was blue and Aiden was red. Sometimes Aiden will hold Keaton's hand to help him write letters.  There are sea creatures below the water and icebergs where the spies are hiding. 

Aiden earned another badge in ice skating. He's now officially working on Gamma (finished Tot 1-5, Alpha, and Beta)

We have this really icey layer of chunk snow.  You can walk on top of the thick layer, sometimes cracking through and laughing hysterically in Keaton's case.  Here are some glow stick guys we made with the ice chunks. We were attempting these funny gremlin guys my fun aunt had sent to us, but we couldn't really form them and could barely push the glow sticks into the ice. It's pretty fun to play outside at dusk.
