22 February 2009

A new kindergarten holiday has sprung up recently-- the 100th day of school. Abe's class celebrated by bringing 100 items to school (Abe brought dried beans) and eating 100 snacks (fruit leather, popcorn, raisins, Rice Chex, candy hearts, fritos).


Our kids have been nomads the past week while Brandan continues to install wood floors, sleeping wherever there has been room to put down some mattresses: the family room, the library, swapping between bedrooms. Thank goodness they're flexible!


Brandan keeps assorted nail guns, chisels, saws, hammers and other dangerous items in the portable crib so they're accessible and out of reach at the same time.


Brandan let Sophie have a go at using the power stapler. He makes it look easier than it is. You have to hit the stapler hard and squarely to get the staple to come out right.


Gibson loves to be with Brandan and if he can play with tools at the same time, even better.


Sophie played a piano duet with her friend, Josh, during Sacrament Meeting today. They played "I Feel My Savior's Love." It's a good thing the song is short since Becky didn't breathe the whole time. No worries, though, they did a great job.

Our children have loved 100 day. It has been celebrated in most of the places we have lived. Here they celebrate all the way into the 6th grade although differently, this year it was 100 poems by the 100 day.

They celebrate it in every grade here, too.
Yay for Sophie and Josh! I wish I could have heard it. She is looking so tall!
Our kids can't wait to see all of you!

The 100 days sounds fun. I've never heard of it so it will be great when Sasha gets to experience it a few years down the road. Congrats to Sophie on playing in sacrament meeting - it makes me nervous just thinking about it. We're excited to see all of you in March!
