Jump Rope for Heart

Lukas' school participated in Jump Rope for Heart.   On the last day of  fundraising the school holds a jump rope exhibition and celebration.  Sorry for the fuzzy picture, my camera was having focus issues and then my batteries died.  Lukas did really well jumping.  That is him in the grey pants waiting patiently for the exhibition to start.

Birthday Party at Game Center

One of Lukas' friends from after care and the neighborhood had his birthday party at a game center.  Lukas had a blast playing glow in the dark golf, glow in the dark lazer tag, and riding on the bumper cars.  It ends up that his buddy A went to pre-school with a couple of his buddies from t-ball.  So it was an extra treat to see N and L again.

Lukas enjoyed the birthday cake a little too much!

Not sure how chocolate icing always ends up all over this kids face?!

Out with the old and in with the new

We finally decided we had enough with our old fridge and decided to take advantage of the tax break and sales on appliances President's Day Weekend.  Of course you can't have a new Stainless steel fridge and have the old builder grade gas stove.  Then that led to the decision to finally get the overhead microwave we've been talking about for years.   We were on a roll and opted to get rid of the noisy dishwasher too.

Packaging materials make great Pirate hats, arrghhh!

Valentine's Celebration

Lukas thought it was great fun to dip one of his favorite fruits in one of his other favorite foods.  Good thing we had lots of berries and lots of chocolate because he was eating at fast as we dipped it.  Grandma and Grand daddy Tower were coming for dinner Valentine's weekend and these were suppose to be dessert.  Fortunately I did manage to save a tray full for later in the day.

Trying a new tradition for Valentine's Day by having a pseudo fancy dinner.  Lukas thought it was cool to drink his milk out of a fancy glass.

Way to go Luka, 100%

Everyday Lukas comes home from school with a folder containing "graded homework", things they've done in class and communications from his teachers. Today when I was sorting through the folder I found a report from the public school system that went home with all the children. They had a Mathematics Benchmark Assessment done in January and the report was disseminating how the county did as a whole by grade level and then how Lukas did in comparison. I always said he was a problem solver and he has always seemed to excel in the numbers area; now I have confirmation. We couldn't be more proud of our little Kaz Kid. He scored 100% which was 5% above the average for Kindergartners in our county. You are Rockstar Awesome Luka!

Celebrating 100 days of school

Wearing his 100 days of school Crown.

January brought a new celebration to our house.   Lukas celebrated his first 100 days of school. They spent all week doing things related to the number 100.  He was most proud of his crown.
