Proud momma, & skin strep

I forgot to post about Carson getting awards last week. 

He got on trac for reading success, and ropin reader. We are so proud of how well he does in school. He absolutely loves going. I can't believe the school year is halfway over. 

Olivia is so proud of her big brother. She stayed by his side the entire ceremony, and even tried going on stage with him. Ha! 

Olivia really believes she's part of the class. Too adorable! Friday Carson also had his first spelling test. I was nervous how it would go. He was very strong willed when it came to not wanting to study.

He did so much better than I expected. He got a 96. We rewarded him with a sonic drink afterschool. I was a little frustrated that he spelled the word right in the spelling part, but spelled it wrong in the dictation. Regardless we were still proud!

This morning I took my sweet girl to the doctor. She had a little rash on her bum. It turned out to be strep on the skin. I had never heard of that. Apparently it is pretty common. We got her all fixed up with an oral, and ointment antibiotic. Glad to say it is already looking better!

Over the moon

Friday I went up to Carson's school to volunteer for their weekly science lab.

Friday was super cold, so they were having indoor recess. Carson loves building with legos.

While one of the other moms, and I were preparing the activity for the kids Mrs. Scherer was explaining to the kids what they were to do.

They used flashlights with a partner and each took turns doing the phases of the moon. The kids loved playing with the flashlights. Mrs. Scherer gave each student a glow in the dark star to take home.

Their next activity was to create a moon using play dough, and clay.

Once they've done their science activity they write in the journals about it.

I'm glad I finally got a chance to go help out with Carson's class. Thanks Aunt Katy for keeping Miss priss. 



Hummer limo ride, and cicis

Carson had his first fundraiser for school not to long ago. If you raised more than $250 you got to ride in a Hummer limo to CiCi's for lunch.

                   This is the group on Kindergartners that got to go.

 Each kid got to pick one friend from class to go with them. He chose his friend, Logan.

 I was doing a garage sale with Ryan's, grandma, mom, and sister on Friday, so I wasn't able to go with him. I did run up to the school to snap a few pictures. These kids were so excited to ride in the limo. They had the music turned up so loud. I'm sure the chaperones appreciated that.

This kid is so hard to get to look at the camera.

  Thanks to everyone who contributed to Carson's fundraiser. Without y'all he could not have had this opportunity. He had a great time!

We have a kindergartener folks!

Today our big boy started kindergarten. I can not believe how fast time flies by. We are so proud of the sweet boy he is growing into be.

He was mostly excited about getting to eat in a cafeteria. I packed his lunch but he chose to buy. He said he had 5 mini corn dogs, broccoli, and oranges. He told me that the oranges were actually good ones. Ha!

I'm really excited to see what all he learns this year. I think he has a great teacher. She called this afternoon to let me know that he had a wonderful day. He was a great helper, and listener. What momma doesn't love to hear that? 

Could he be any more handsome?

I walked up to pick him up today. Most days I'll just do the carpool line. It was fun watching him walk out of school with his new friends. He looks so much older after being in kindergarten for a day.

Carson and his friend, Tyler. 

After a great first day of school we went to Dairy Queen to celebrate. Looking forward to a fun year. We love you so much Carson Ray, and are so proud of you. 

How much difference a few months makes.
