Randomness

After the previous post and the tough stuff the kids have been through lately, maybe some smiles would do us good. So.... time to spread a little cheer and talk about some fun things we've been up to .....

What better to make a person smile than cupcakes? I mean, 72 tiny cupcakes individually iced and decorated in bright colors and sprinkles....what could be better?! This is what I took to Will's school to celebrate his birthday. The kids LOVED them

Notice Will sits with all Girls...apparently he talks too much with the boys . I can't imagine that :)

As for this past weekend, we went to a Family Retreat at church. It was so much fun! They had a giant slip n slide that Will slid down over and over and over and over....



Will and his friend Braden completely drenched in soapy suds



That's Will with the red hair...he got his hair painted at a festival for school that morning.



Wyatt, however, did not like the slip n slide so much...

He preferred to stay here....                       And here.....

He would stand at the top of the big slide, take a giant jump and say "wheeeee".

And here he is jumping with lots of girls (he is hidden behind the girl in the yellow shirt). I heard a very loud squeally scream coming from this jump house....it was Wyatt, not the girls screaming.

So Weston, what do you think about this whole deal?....

We came back from the Family Retreat with a fresh new start to the week and yesterday, Will celebrated a Butterfly Launch at school. As a school, they have watched 500 caterpillar larvae grow into Monarch Butterflies. Wednesday was the celebration to let them all fly away and begin their migration to Mexico. Yes, Will can tell you all about it! They had lots of songs and performances from each class. The students even painted this great artwork "A Butterfly's Life"

The Kindergartners all stood together to sing a few songs....

Will was so excited for this day and he would practice his songs all the time!

When they let the butterflies go, it was pretty cool!

It was nearly impossible to catch on camera though....

Anyway, the kids loved it and it was a great learning experience for them.

 
In other random news....

We have a tooth!!! Yes, Weston has his first tooth poking through the gums...not quite all the way through yet. And it's on the side not the front...weird huh?!

AND.....

Have a happy week....we sure will :)
