Zach's 100th Day of School!

Zach's class didn't dress up or anything but he came out of school wearing a "100 days of school" hat thingamahoo.

He also had a bag of trail mix that they made at school with 10 marshmallows, 10 kix, 10 chex, 10 butterscotch chips, 10 pretzels, 10 goldfish, 10 chocolate chips, 10 cheerios, and 2 more sets of 10 of other things that I can't remember!!

Such a sweetie pie that is 100 days smarter!

He was too busy eating his trail mix to give me another good smile! His mouth is full!!

Emily was playing with hairbands today..

trouble.

The kids and I made a "house" out of 2 cardboard boxes. Emily and I made a few modifications today while the boys were at school and she loved it!

cheeeeeeeese!

Jacob's 100th Day of School!

Today was Jacob's 100th day of school this year.. Kindergarten started 2 days later than 1st grade so I'm figuring Zach's will be on Monday (though we haven't heard anything about preparing for it like we did Jacob's. Zach had to make a posterboard to take in and we did that already and forgot to take a picture!).

Anyways, Jacob dressed up like an old man.....

 before school.

 after school. His teacher had mustaches for all the boys.

She wrote me a note in his agenda that said she loved his outfit and she picked him and another friend in his class to be on the school news that morning. (They have a short little newscast done by kids in the school that the entire school watches during morning announcements.) He was so excited telling me about it! Zach was excited that he saw his brother and was sure to tell his friends that it was his brother!

 He didn't have his stick cane at school either, we found it in the driveway and used it for a photo prop.

 the old man with the young man. :-)

 and the sweetheart.

a good dog...

I've been watching Zach feed Ringo lately and I've noticed that he frequently gives him a milk bone in his food bowl (with his scoop of food). I pointed it out to Daniel a few days ago and that evening Zach said something to Daniel along these lines... "Dad, when Ringo is a good dog I give him a whole cookie with his food but when he's a bad dog, I break it and he only gets half!" Yeah, take that Ringo! You can still be obnoxious and get a treat. Good dog.

Happy 55th Birthday, Dad!!
