Way to Go, Jack!

Mr. Jack made it a goal to earn 40 or more AR points before the end of May, so he could earn a trophy. Guess who met his goal?!

He still has until the end of the month before the deadline is here, and he has already pushing 42 AR points! That is outstanding, especially when you consider the number of books he's had to read to reach that goal. Each book is only 0.5 points...

You are rocking it, Jack! Keep up the hard work! We're so proud of you!

Just Because

He came in like this while I was lying in bed sick. Definitely gave me a laugh!

Mother's Day!

Today, all my boys treated me to a nice day. They brought me sweet notes and some candy. Isaac made me a yummy lunch and dinner. He even made a chocolate cake!

We did keep the day relatively quiet, though. I'm still trying to get over the latest round of crud that came through the house, so I spent much of the day horizontal rather than vertical.

Still, it was nice to have the love of all my boys on this day. ❤️

Friday Five

This post is a tad late. It seems that I came down with the boys' crud, so posting on time wasn't top of my priority list. I'm trying my hardest to keep my germs contained to me so not to spread the crud around another lap of the house. Fingers crossed.

~~~

We have made great progress on the boys' mission projects. All they have left is to now memorize their speeches. My kitchen wall is currently wallpapered with mission info in an effort to help them learn. Whew.

At least the end is in sight! Yay!

~~~

Jack's project was also a success. He had to invent something and complete a little packet about his invention. He based his invention off of a real life problem -- a spider on our ceiling -- and created the "Itsy Bitsy Spider Catcher." He put tape at the end of a pencil for his "catcher." It was freaking adorable. His teacher even said his presentation was great. She had him share it several times with different people around the school!

~~~

This gem was from this afternoon:

“Mom. This state...Our wonderful state of California...it is here that the fortune cookie was invented. Did you know that?!” I did not, in fact, know that.
Then he proceeded to slow cap for the state. Because of course.
There you go. Now you have another useless fact to to store for the next game of Trivia Pursuit.

~~~

5 weeks of school left! Woo to the double who!

Jason worked very hard on his mission, and I think he is quite pleased with how it came out. Way to go, Jay. You did a fantastic job, and we are very proud of all your hard work!
