Last Week Of September Begins

It is the beginning of another full school week for Kevin. His school has been doing a Sally Foster fundraiser and order forms were due today. We’ve been so busy with going back and forth to my parents that Kevin really didn’t have a chance to ‘sell’ any items. At least he was able to get three orders. Last year, he was quite the salesman – going up to people and asking them to help him raise money for his school. We told him that there will always be another fundraiser, so he could 'sell' more next time.

Justin’s class is continuing their study of the letter ‘M.’ For their snack, they spread Marshmallow cream over rice cakes (somehow, some of the marshmallow cream got into his hair). They also made Moon rocks, with a ball of foil as the center. Justin said that he put glue and shiny things (gold sprinkles) on his rock, then black paint.

Brian used the word ‘and’ in a sentence for the first time. He was looking at a picture of himself and his brothers. As he pointed to each person, he said their name, “Justin, Kevin and me! Yeah!!”

Kenton cooked a Chinese meal this evening. He made four dishes – two vegetables, one seafood, and one meat. The kids wanted to eat pizza, so it was just he and I eating all that food. It was delicious (and we won’t have to cook tomorrow)!
