Tha last week of school is always the best!

I have to back it up a bit, before I talk about the last week of school. We must address the last concert of the school year for Jared, Mr. Anderson, and the rest of the band. Jared's band had some help from the High School band from Timberline. (Mr. Anderson also teaches them). I finally figured out how to work the video on my camera! yea for me it only took me 2 years LOL!  Please bear with my shaky hand I had to try to hold still for 15 min. (that is how long the video is). Jared is sitting in the back row toward the center. So with out further ado...Ok it won't work because it is too long. Boo, sorry folks.

On Monday, Jared had a costume contest. They dressed as character from the book they finished reading. The book was Mrs. Freebie, and the Rats of Nihm. Jared dressed up as a crow, named  Jeremy. He got the most votes for best costume and won the prise, a stuffed animal, a rat.

It was also Nick's 9th birthday! We did not do much since he got in trouble at school for not behaving in music the week before. Anyway, we just had a small cake for him, and let him open gifts.


Licking that last bit just like his dad LOL! Oh yea, he did not eat the whole thing he split it with Jared, and yes they were both sugared up! It was only an hour till bed time, but a long hour for us lol!

Nicklas got a few awards this year, he got a great attendance, he only missed 2 days of school, and he also got a good attitude award.





The boys also got to have a cartoon day! Where they dress up as their favorite cartoon character.  Jared was snake eyes from GI Joe, (it's not his fav but he could only fit into that costume and Nick was Anikin from Clone Wars.


 On the last day of school I let Jared take my camera and get some shots of his classmates and teacher. The one above is Jared's Homeroom teacher Mrs. Carter such a great lady!
 This is Jared and his reading teacher Mrs. Thrasher. I did not get to know her, but Jared loved her.
 Jared geeking the camera!
One more goodbye to Mrs. Carter. And with that Summer has officially begun!

It's been a long time...





So I must have been really brain dead cuz I wrote and posted the same picts LOL! Silly Girl thanks for hanging in there,  it has been a long time since I wrote, again. What can I say but life happens. This week was super busy for me and that is because Nick had his third grade Science Fair. I kept putting it off and we did it at the last minute. (bad momma) and I helped out with a baby shower for twins!! So Nick did a report and had to put together a display board. Here he is working on the board.
His project was what juice cleans a penny best? We tried five juices, cranberry, white grapefruit, apple, grape, and orange. here is what the pennies looked like be for they spent 24 hours in juice.





And this is after the 24 hours...




As you can see the orange had the best results, it was fun. Then we got to his fair at school and all of the 3rd grader's projects were on display. This is Miss Mills with Nick, she was also Jared's 3rd grade teacher. We love her! She just got married last month, and is now Mrs. Philips. But we are not used to that yet,

 And a quick shot with Dad. awe... Them is my boys...
Well that about does it for this one.
