Senior Night

Last Friday night was Senior Night. It was the last home game for all of the seniors. They announced the senior cheerleaders, dance team and basketball players out on the court along with their families.

The seniors gave their mother a flower and their parents gave them a goodie bag. The cheerleaders gave each senior a cookie cake also.

Dustin played a great game and Valley View won pretty easy.

In the lobby of the gym each senior had a table set up with a picture board. I had fun putting it together with pictures of Dustin from when he was little up to now. Senior Night was really a nice event.

It is a little sad to think that Dustin is finishing up his basketball career in the next week or so. We have loved watching him play from a little kindergartener all the way up to a senior. He is a great leader and team player out on the court. Great job Dustin!

Valentine's Day

Friday the 12th, we had Valentine Parties at school. Kannon's was at 9:30 and was a pizza and cupcake party. He won a prize for stacking the most candy hearts. He was excited about his bag of Valentines. My second grade party was at 11:00 and it was an ice cream sundae party. We had every topping imaginable and the kids loved it. We played name Bingo and opened Valentines. Then, Tanner's party was at 12:00. They ate goodies and played "Dress the Cupid" which was hilarious. They also got a bag of Valentines. It was great that I was able to get to every one's party but wow what a day.

Tanner dressed the "cupid" with a red boa. Each person on the team had a different thing to dress the cupid with.

On Saturday night, we had a Valentine Pizza Picnic. We ate pizza in our den and watch a movie. Sunday morning, Barry surprised us with pancakes and strawberries for a special treat. What a fun Valentine weekend.

100th Day

Kannon had fun celebrating the "100th" day of school. He made a shirt to wear with 100 dots. He also made a project with 100 things - he chose 100 snowflakes. The whole kindergarten had a parade through the halls so all the other students could see their "100" day clothing and projects. They spent the day counting to 100, talking about how they would spend 100 dollars, thinking about what they will look like when they are 100 and other fun things. Kannon has sure learned so much in his 100 days of kindergarten.

Snow!

We had quite the snowstorm last week (for Arkansas). The sleet and freezing rain came all night Thursday night but then the snow came on Friday. It pretty much snowed all day Friday. Saturday was a beautiful sunny day and we all headed out to sled, build snowmen, and throw snowballs.

Tanner had fun just rolling around in the snow.

Kannon headed down our hill.

We have been out of school for three days but hopefully will go back tomorrow (Wednesday). The boys have enjoyed being home and I have enjoyed getting a few projects done that I hadn't had time to do before.

We even made real "snow"cones.

Fun snow days!
