We went to Andlie's class today to help with the End of the Year Party! We had so much fun stuff that we had to take our wagon! And since we were going to school, Haze & Nora had to pack their backpacks. Haze's was full of transformers & trucks. Nora had princess books in hers.
Andlie came home from school today with an award! She got "Showing Responsible, Courteous Behavior." What a wonderful award to recieve! I'm so proud to be her Mom! What a wonderful year in 1st grade it's been!
She also brought her yearbook home and was THRILLED to see that she made the yearbook 3 times in addition to her school picture! She was especially excited to see that her yearbook cover contest artwork was included in the yearbook! She didn't win the cover, but she was the only 1st grader to have her artwork in the yearbook! The other two pictures were at the Cougar Crawl and on Character Day (Nerd Day) with her teacher.
Bryan did some magic tricks tonight. He put Haze's Yak Bak (little walkie talkie thing) in Haze's head and pulled it out. And then he did the same to Andlie. They were/still are 100% absolutely convinced that it was really in their heads. And then they helped him get it in his head. So hilarious!
Tonight at dinner, the big kids whined and complained for a good ten minutes before even trying their chicken taquitos and salad. Meanwhile, Nora ate her entire plate spotless. Salad and everything! She kept saying,"Mmmm, delicious!" When Haze finally tried a bit he gagged & spit it out in the trash. Hell. So then they got a talking to by Bryan. He told them it was kind to eat what I made because it took a lot of work and "Mommy doesn't make gross food."
Well, after she tried a few bites, Andlie said, "Thank you for cooking this food, Mom." And then she invited me to play Hang Man with her. The answer was: I love the food you made me. I think the message was recieved loud & clear by her. She's such a good, sweet girl.
