Dashiell explaining what his picture is all about.

Ya think he has Plants & Zombies on the brain?!  

September 17, 2012

finally got the chance to visit dashiell's classroom.

heard from mrs. o that she WILL be staying on as his teacher this year.  YAY!

but unfortunately, now i have a different prep period, and it's his lunchtime when i go.  

so i can't ever really see him in the room.  boo.

 first time i tried out the panoramic setting on the iphone5.
i was standing at his seat in the room...panned from the front, to the right, to the rear of the room.
trippy!

 we got the package from gramma today!
matthew was soooo nice to his baby brother, he gave him the chunky panda!
[dashiell was really upset though that he didn't get i...but we kept calling him to come down!  if he had been downstairs, maybe matt would have let him take it]
brennan was tucking in his panda to go to sleep on the pillows.  =D

i walked up to the house this afternoon just in time to catch my mom leaving to get brennan, so i hoppoed in the car with her to pick him up!

he was having a snack at the tables =)

 some of his artwork in class

 he wanted to show me his pizza, which mushrooms and cheese
[but he doesn't want to eat the mushrooms]

Susan G Komen Race for the Cure in OC today

i think we'll do this every year.  quite a fun event.

DASHIELL LOST HIS FIRST TOOTH!!!

September 22, 2012

since it was so hot today, i thought it'd be a good day to spend the morning at the discovery science center (the cube)

we hadn't gone since gramma and grandpa got us the annual family membership.

 (he didn't make it past this ;)

 the special exhibit was 'bob the builder' which took up a good chunk of the upstairs.
lots of fun!
although dashiell asked where the star wars stuff went.  =p

 making some slime!

 completing the recycling eco-challenge
quite a fun and neat activity!
brennan and i took a shopping cart, and he had to find certain items that were displayed on the screen, which differentiated all the recyclable materials vs. not.
then we checked out, and got our picture up on the wall!  =)

 ready to head out to eat at the place former;y known as pat & oscar's (but still serves the same food as pat & oscar's)

-------------------------------------------------

block!

 super-hot day again (but luckily there were some clouds)

 getting ready to go back in as center for the 2nd half.
redemption!

 getting some last minute pointers from the coach

 and in at center...#99
