SPRING FUN 2012

This past Spring was a busy one filled with several fun activities here and there.  Here are a few things we did!

HOME DEPOT

Every first Saturday you can go to the Home Depot and make a craft! Derek and I took the boys and they made a bird feeder! It was cool. The boys even have an official Home Depot apron! They collect pins after each craft they finish also.  

Lil H chose to paint his bird feeder his favorite colors which is Blue and Yellow! 

 Big H went with his favorite colors also, Orange and Black.  They did a very good job!

 They painted and even used a hammer! Yeah, scary thought with Lil H I know! haha But, we all left with all fingers and thumbs in tact! Way to go boys! :)

BOB DYLAN

Big H was invited to participate in the Gifted and Talented program at his school. He was told that he chose to accept the invite he would be the only 1st grader, the other participants were 4th and 5th graders, he would have to miss recess on Wednesdays, and some of the projects would be pretty time consuming. We left the ball is his court for this decision, and he decided that sounded like something he would want to participate in.  So every Wednesday while his friends were outside having fun during recess Big H was hanging out with older kids expanding his knowledge in Gifted and Talented. At the very end of the school year he presented a project they had been working on for a while.  He was given a list of names of people and chose to be Bob Dylan!  

I must say I think he was the cutest Bob Dylan ever! He did an awesome job when his turn came up! He spoke loud and clear! He had quite the fan club there also! He has amazing family support! His 1st grade teacher even came to listen!

 He is excited to participate in Gifted and Talented again next year! The Gifted and Talented teacher already invited to participate again! :)
