This is #6. He wants something, and I told him to wait just a second. This is the look he gives me when he wants something and it melts my heart.
He wants an apple.
For the last 10 years we do the same thing on the first day of school. We make our first day of school mobiles.
#2 making coloring.
#5's finished work.
Once they color them.. they write (or I do) what their goals are, what they want to learn, how old they are, what they want to be when they grow up and their favorite things. I then cut them out, take clear packing tape and faux laminate them. I could take them to be laminated.. but that would be a 25 mile drive… so I just use packing tape 🙂
#3.5's mobile
#2's mobile
Here's #5's goals.. "My goals are to finish 2nd grade, to read better and spell more bad words." All I can say is he must take after his father.
I think this makes up for wanting to "spell more bad words"
Now there's a kid that takes after his mother 😉
