100th Day of School!

Wednesday was the 100th day of school. This is one of my favorite days of the year. The kids at Morton Kindergarten-2nd grade get to dress up like they are 100 years old. Who knew that little kids would be such cute old people?!

The last 2 years Camryn wore a wig, this year she opted for curlers instead. 

For some reason Elody did not want to dress up. After a little bribing she caved. She was excited to wear a dress with tights and her fake glasses to school so she gave in and wore the wig. She is a very fashionable old lady. 

Seriously, they are way too cute! (Yes I know I'm biased)

Ms. Reeves used an app to make the kids look old. I'm not sure if this is cute or creepy?! Mr. Butler did them also but I don't have a copy of Camryn's picture.

Here is Camryn's writing assignment from the 100th day of school. She typed it at school- I typed it here exactly as she did. 

        When I am 100 years old I will have a crinkly face, chubby checks and be sitting in my mansion swimming pool. I will have a fashioned rug. I will have gray hair. I will eat soup a lot where a dress have curlers and be rich my husband will go to work I will like the color light blue I will have grandchildren my favorite treat will be mint cookies. I will have a pet cat and beta I will watch TV.

Random Ramblings from Camryn

Last weekend we went to Lincoln. When we got there we went to the Nebraska State Capitol. My favorite part of the Capitol is the designs on the floor. We also went to the top and looked out the windows. I like to watch the cars go by, they look so small.

I thought this light was cool. I liked all the light bulbs around the outside. We took a picture so we could count how many light bulbs there were. There were 48 light bulbs plus the big one in the middle.

I went upstairs on a balcony. Each side had a different picture, this was my favorite side.

Here are some of the designs I liked. There were lots of different pictures all over the floor. I liked the bat because I think they're cool.

I liked the owl because my mom likes owls too. And both the bat and the owl come out at night.

 The next day we went to Morrill Hall. We sat up on the ledge by the Woolly Mammoth. Morrill Hall had lots of animal skeletons. I liked it! My favorite part of Morrill Hall was the habitat part. We didn't take any pictures there. It had sound features and one had a hole where you could see a badger in it.

I liked the elephants. Either side of them you could see an elephants tush. That was kind of weird.

I like turtles because they have their home on their back and their shell protects them. This was in the exploring room. They also had a tree thing you could go into and smelling jars with lots of different scents. One smelling jar even smelled like a skunk YUCK! Another smelling jar smelled like coffee mmmm.

It's Monday and I'm blogging. Of course as soon as I don't have to post on Mondays I can remember. Anyway, it's a new year and I've been trying to come up with a new theme for 2015. Last week I said I wasn't going to post weekly, but I know myself and if I don't have some sort of structure it will end up December and I'll only have one post for the year. I've been trying to decide what to do for 2015 for a couple months now and today it came to me - I'll have the girls write! When they were young I had separate tabs on the blog dedicated to the girls. I wrote about what they were learning, new things they were doing, and what their current interests were. As they got older I gave that up but now they can write on their own (well kind of). So tonight, while Brian and Camryn went to Wal-Mart, I had Elody 'write' her first blog post. Elody of course had to dictate to me but I tried to write it as she said it. There are a couple places where I did a little editing to help with the flow but not much. So here it goes... 

Ok, when Camryn was turning 7 the people at Camryn's party got to ride on ponies. My birthday is next month and I'm inviting some people; Keira, Stella, Molly, Aleece, and Camryn. I'll be turning 6. I want to have a cheetah party. I want to do a craft where you paint a cheetah.

How do you like this- I can tie my shoes!  I still have to practice but I'm getting pretty good. Sometimes I do make mistakes. 

Today I went back to kindergarten. Today at school we went to our school families. While I was there I colored a clown picture. I got my shirt today. It is pink and says "Kindergarten Rocks" and has all of my friends names on the back. The best part of kindergarten is PE with Mr. Christy. Today in PE we bowled! I liked when we did scooters in PE too, but we don't do those anymore. I also love center time. Today I read books in centers but my favorite thing to do is the art center. Today it was so cold we had inside recess. I played legos and geo-boards. I hope we can go outside tomorrow for recess. 

We'll see how long this lasts. This afternoon it seemed like a great idea, now I'm not so sure. I'm guessing it won't last all year, and definitely not weekly, but maybe I'm wrong.
