More points for home depot. They're great at keep our kids happy now if they could just do as good of a job selling building supplies! The boys made airplanes this month for the home depot project and as a bonus they had a race car out front that the kids could climb in. The sign said climb on in and Brock took it literally!
The fire stations had their annual open houses today and we made it to two of the four stations. The boys were most excited about their ride in the fire truck at the downtown station. They also got to spray one of the smaller hoses and climb all over the vehicles and equipment. The police car and boat happen to be out home depot. The boys thought it was so cool that the police boat was "just like papa's" but now think papa's would be way cooler with lights :)
As soon as the boys found out that they get awards and recognition for exercising through a program at school they are on the workout band wagon! They ran straight into the living room and yelled "mom get out Shaun T we want to get a punch in our card!" They are probably the only kids in their kindergarten class getting points by doing the insanity videos :)
Well Brock has had another visit from the tooth fairy! On our way home from Vegas I noticed that Brock's loose tooth appeared to be in the middle of the gap in his lower teeth which just wasn't right. I asked him if it was really really loose and he said yes. When we pulled in the driveway I told daddy he just needed to pull it out and he did! Brock barely unbuckled his seat belt, we hadn't even gotten our luggage out of the trunk yet and the tooth was out! Brock said it didn't even hurt at all :) Mason was so disturbed that he made me take xrays of his front teeth to see when he will loose his teeth. Unfortunately it will be awhile for the Mason boy.
The boys are playing their second season of U6 soccer through AYSO and this year their team name is the Honey Badgers. They had their first game last weekend and all the kids had a blast! As a Beaver fan I'm loving the orange jerseys and being hunting season they are so bright that they can double as hunters orange. If we want to trek through the woods no one will mistake them for wildlife :)
The boys first official day of kindergarten was today! Last week that got to meet their teacher Mrs. Galvan at Liberty and has their interviews. They were super excited to find out that several of their friends from their preschool were also in their kindergarten class. They got to learn were their cubbies are, how to find a spot to sit on the ABC mat, recess, and even snack time. What a great first day! On their second day they get to ride a school bus for the first time after school to CAPS at another grade school which is what we are doing for daycare on the days that mommy works. They are really excited about this. Mason said "Mom did you know that they don't even have seat belts on buses!"
We took the boys to their first football game and to Brock's utter disappointment it was the season opener for the Ducks. It's safe to say Brock isn't a Duck fan. He was really excited until he found out it was "where the ducks live". I told him to just close his eyes and pretend he's where the beavers live because that's what mommy is going to do :) I tried to get Brock to wear a duck shirt for daddy's sake. I wrestled it on, there was some screaming involved and when I turned around he had it off again. What a good beaver fan! The day of the game was really hot and we parked miles away so unfortunately by the time we completed our 5 mile nature hike through downtown Eugene to get to Autzen stadium the boys were pretty much done. We made it to half time before we left but of course so did half of the rest of the sold out stadium since it was a blow out against Nicholls State. Mason was sad because he didn't get to meet the duck mascot and Brock was upset because he didn't want people to think he was a duck fan! Oh well we tried, maybe we'll have better luck next time :)
