~Day 272: My Scorpions Got Away

I love watching the kids leave for school together. They ran out the door and got away so fast this morning that I barely got a 'goodbye' out of them.  Cute monkeys.

Brookie was able to go to the 'Scorpion Nest' today at school. (Their school mascot is the Scorpion)  Each teacher nominates one student once a month to go have lunch with the principal.  Brookie was her teacher's student this month!  They had pizza and played ping pong and other games.   She was nominated because has never missed a day of school, has never been tardy, gets good grades and has good behavior.  Very proud of her!

 

Brookie and Cailee had to wear their new dresses today.  They got them from Grandma while she was here.  Cailee had P.E. at school, but that didn't stop her.  Just throw on your tennies and go.

 

Brookie was in her room singing tonight.  Loudly.  She was singing primary songs.  Her petshops were putting on a primary program.  (The kids had their real primary program yesterday in church)  The cow was playing the piano in the corner, and the cat was leading the group from on top of the bathtub.  It was a good program!

Ashton is showing me the next video game he would like to get.  I told him he has to earn it himself.  I'm not going to just go buy it.  He was upset at first, but the more he thought about what he could do to get it, he got excited.  I got excited, too.  I hope he is this happy when I make him scrub a toilet... haha.  Everyone needs to have that experience.  It's his time!  Love this little man!
