Boy have I been a slacker!

Hello! I have definitely slacked. I am blogging things from last week and this week is almost over.

First, we want to say HAPPY BIRTHDAY AUNT ANITA!!


Sam's Star Student week.

I already blogged this one - Monday he made a poster of all his favorites...

It is also his read-a-thon week and they were celebrating Dr. Seuss' birthday, so it was wacky socks day on Wednesday. This day he got interviewed by his classmates to get to know him better. The socks were one of Grandma Lucy's christmas gifts to the kids. They were fuzzy and striped perfectly like Cat in the Hat. Thanks Grandma Lucy!

Friday - Daddy Day! Matt took the day off so he could be a guest reader in Sam's class. I am not sure who was more excited. That day Sam also brought in an estimation bag as his final Star Student Job. He brought in Blow Pops to share with everyone. He was very excited.I will tell you that JT was not as impressed with Daddy going to Sam's school. He didn't want to be left out.

Then Matt took the boys to Costco and came home with kites.
Don't you like how high we got them up?!

So they played golf instead. Sam is really hitting the ball now! JT enjoyed it too!

Finally, we have the newest addition to our family. We had our 8 week appt on Tuesday and the baby is doing great! I got the official due date of October 20th. It was really nice to get to see the little one. The baby was exactly 7 weeks and 6 days on Tuesday and measures about 1 inch. We could see and hear the little heartbeat. The heart rate was 174 beats per minute.

Star Student

Sam is the star student at school this week. That means the week is all about him! He made a poster with things about himself on it. On Wednesday, the class with interview him and ask questions about his favorite things and on Friday he will bring in an estimation bag with goodies the kids can count and he can share with the rest of class. He also will bring home Tommy the Turtle to stay with us. He is very excited!!!

This is a picture of him with the poster after we finished it last night.

The Poster up close.
If you click on it, it will get bigger. You should be able to see the pictures and read the captions. Sam told me what to write. All the captions on there are from him. If you can't see/read it, let me know and I will post what he wrote. It is really sweet. :)

This was him before school this morning. He has also hit a growth spurt, so he has grown out of all his shorts that fit him in the fall! Sam and I had a "Mommy and Sammy" day yesterday and we went shopping. He picked out a few things. This is what he wanted to wear to school today. He is very cool.

Of course, JT is right there by his side!

Tomorrow we have Sam's Spring Concert for School. I will post what I can from that too.
