February

For parent teacher conferences Jacob's class made paper people that looked like themselves. They had to bring one of their shirts from home to put on it and then leave it in their chair at school so that it looked like the whole class was there for the conferences. When Jacob got to bring it home, Grace dressed it in her dress. Jacob was not too happy about it.

 Cade got chosen to be student of the month at school. We were so proud of him for making a good impression on the teachers that nominated him. We let him choose where he would like to go out to eat to celebrate and he chose Goodwood Barbeque Co. I know that it would make more sense to have a picture of Cade, but he didn't get as messy as Grace and he doesn't willingly let us take his picture..

 We went to the whiteout game at WSU. The kids got their picture taken with Waldo.

Grace and Jacob kept asking for some popcorn. I don't know why they even ask. I never buy treats at places like this. An older gentleman in front of them told them to tap him on the shoulder when they wanted some of his popcorn because he wouldn't be able to finish his. After a while he just gave them the bag.

 This is what happens when you let 3rd graders give you a "rock star" makeover in a read-a-thon assembly. I think it looks more like a clown makeover. I had to stop and get us some dinner at the drive-thru on our way home from school since we were low on groceries and I wasn't going into the grocery store looking like this. The guy at the window looked at me funny and I just told him not to ask.
