They all told felt board stories to Levi.

What Elias Has Been Up To

Elias had his first eye exam. You get a cupcake afterwards! 

He really enjoyed the fishing game. 

“Tell Daddy to bring home the paper. I didn’t have time to read it this morning.”

“This is a cow in mud.”

Me: who is on the phone?

E: it’s Regina. 

Me: please sit down and finish your lunch. 

E: I can’t. I’m on the phone. 

“First I load up the cherry picker.”

“Then I go uuuuup and decorate the tree!”

“This is Tricky Tiger. I’m his parrot.”

What Levi Has Been Up To

Playing with boxes. He likes to knock on objects as he thinks about them, and boxes make a great noise. 

Swinging for the first time! He loves it. 

Hanging out with Jennifer every Tuesday for a month. I had 10 fillings and a root canal/crown due to being so sick last year while pregnant, so these two struck up a weekly date. They’re peas and carrots. 

Having his morning cup of coffee because suddenly sleep is overrated. Stupid teething. 

He’s examining things around him with intensity. 

Licking a honey crisp Apple (thanks Grandma Kathleen!) was somewhat offensive. 

He was SO PROUD of getting two wipes out of the package. 

He loves advent. Preparing his Christmas cookies! Dairy free, of course. I ate dairy (like, a lot by intolerance standards) and he got such severe eczema on his bum that we had to get steroid cream for a week. Whoops. 

He and Lewis hang out like this daily after school. 

He liked the ball pit once. Now it’s super scary. 

We went to 14 places yesterday. Woof. He did amazingly as we ran around. Some days are like that.

Little Sacristans

The boys were over the moon about helping Connor set up for Mass at the Newman Center. Connor let they do some extremely special tasks in setting up for Mass!

The Saint Project

The big third grade project is a saint research project. First, they submit three saints they’re interested in researching. The teacher approves one and the children learn to do a rough draft, second draft, and final draft. They have to use multiple resources in research. 

They also have to dress up like the saint they researched and have one prop. 

Augustine chose St. Augustine, and grandma Susan helped him sew a costume. It turned out very nice!

G&G and Grandma Kathleen attended the school assembly. Each third grader announced who they were dressed as, the feast day of the saint, and what they are the patron of. Augustine did a great job on his report!
