100 Days And More

Carter Celebrated his 100th day in Kindergarten.

I can't believe how quickly this year is flying by.

Like Alex did last year, Carter was instructed to create a poster

with one hundred items on it. 

He chose things you'd find in cupboard, complete with

cranberries, marshmallows, life savers, noodles, fruit loops,

and other fun goodies.

He did a great job.

  He is so good at math!

He also had the estimation jar.

Funny story that goes with that.

My boys are definitely growing up and their interactions are really starting to change-

Lately, I've noticed they've kicked it up a notch.

Exhibit A-The Estimation Jar:

Carter was suppose to fill the jar with something of his choice

and his classmates would estimate the quantity.

So, the boys were discussing different things that could go inside

when Alex took the jar and said he could fart in it. 

(Sorry for offending any of you, but I do live with boys after all.)

Anyways, Alex said, "I could fart in it and then Carter could show the jar

to his classmates and ask them to guess the amount.

Alex smiled and said, "They'd all say nothing. And you would say,

 No.....There is ONE fart!"

We all laughed, and then I proceeded to tell the boys  they couldn't do that and then

I threatened Carter within an inch of his life NOT to tell that story at school. 

(Gosh, I hope it worked!)

Exhibit B-Ikea:

Apparently while I was in Maui, kids could eat free at Ikea.

Well, Doug took full advantage of that.

My kids ate there TWICE, in ONE day.......lol

(and probably would have eaten there more often if it were not such a drive)

So while eating at IKEA Carter was drinking his chocolate milk

(from a small milk container)

and Alex said to Carter, "Hey, look at those lights!"

Sure enough, Carter took the bait.... hook, line and sinker.....

He looked up to inspect the lights only to find

his chocolate milk pour down the front of his shirt.

Poor guy.  He was still a bit emotional about  the whole incident

 when he told me all about it almost a week later.

Yep, my boys are growing up.

And I LOVE it!

(Most days!)
