The Snowman Catcher





Well if you have been over to our house lately you will see this skittle can on our front porch with rocks and water in it. Well this is not just a conversation piece this is Jaxton's snowman catcher. We read Snowman At Christmas and in this book the snowmen come alive at night and Jaxton made out of a skittles can a snowman catcher. He checks it every day to see if there is a snowman in it but not until today has he caught one. Our home teacher came over and we told him about it so when they left he had his son come and build a little snowman in front of the can. Well Jax went out there to check on it and found a snowman!!! He was so excited and now instead of checking it to see if there is a snowman in there he checks to see if the snowman is still there. It really made his day!!

Reflections




Maddison entered a photo that she took when we were up in the mountains taking family pictures. The theme was Diversity means...... Try explaining this to a five year old. For her picture she took some leaves that were different colors and took a picture of them. We turned it in and did not think anything about and then the awards assembly came and we went and found out that she had taken second place. WAhooooo! She got a little trophy with her name on it and she has slept with it ever since. She was so excited to win.
