Our Boys

On Wednesday evening we had Dane's parent teacher conference. His teacher gave him a glowing report! He does need to work on his numbers...he can count but doesn't know them by sight. She also told us that we have an "exceptionally" energetic child so we need to find things to completely exhaust his muscles so that it's easier for him to sit still and let his mind take over. So I am not quite sure what more to do to exhaust his muscles but we will try! She gave us more of his art work at his conference and here is one that had Cameron and I laughing (she writes down what each child says as they are creating things)....

This is Dane's arc. It is likely hard to read what is written in the corner but here is what he had to say:

"Well, first day Jesus died on the cross. Then big thunderstorms passed over. BAM! BOOM! Then a monkey got out and escaped."

And now you have an example of how this child's mind works. Things like this come out of his mouth all the time.

Last Tuesday evening, we went to Uno's with some friends to do a night of making our own pizzas. 

Kale & Kendall just ate the cheese as soon as it was put on the table. We had to ask for more. Kale is 9 weeks older than Kendall and they are 2 little monkeys. She actually climbs more than he does so they had to be strapped down!

 Dane did a fairly good job making his pizza but he only put about 4 pieces of shredded cheese on it. So I helped him cover it.

 The entire group...CHAOS! Four 4 year olds, Three 2 year olds, An almost 2 year old and a 1 year old. I don't think we'll voluntarily do this with all the kids again anytime soon. Maybe with just the 4 year olds!

But they had fun!
