Elf on the Shelf Day 3

Freddie B. “accidentally” got knocked over by some excited boys yesterday while he was fishing.  Today he decided to play it safe and “hang”out out of reach…

Elf on the Shelf Day 2

Last night Freddie B. had a big time fishing for penguins with the Build a Bear crew…

Elf on the Shelf Day 1

Today was the first morning that our Elf came to visit.  His name…Freddie Boogerhead.  That’s what happens when 4 and 5 year old boys get to name the Elf!! 

He came riding in on a sleigh last night for the boys to find him this morning…

The boys are so excited that he’s here!  They showed their Nana this morning when she came to pick them up for school.  They told her, “Don’t touch him or he will lose his magic and can’t come back to our house again!!” 

I think they love the idea of finding out what kind of mischief Mr. Freddie Boogerhead will get in to!

More of Freddie B. to come!

Christmas on Main & Church Christmas Play 2011

Here are the pictures from this past weekend! 

They boys had a blast again at Christmas on Main.  They were such handsome guys…we headed out to the rodeo after the festivities in town, sadly, I did not take any pictures there!

This year, Waylon asked Santa for a “Vehicle.”  When asked what kind of vehicle, he responded, “A Chevy!”  Wyatt asked for a Cars Leapster game.

On Sunday, we had our Christmas Cantata at church.  The kids did a skit and a song.  The boys were cows again this year, and may I say, some very cute cows they were!

School Pictures 2011

Don’t you just LOVE school pictures??  Here are the boys’ from this year…

I think Waylon’s turned out pretty good…

Waylon – Kindergarten

Wyatt’s cracks me up!  Check out the look on his face!  Also, I’m not sure what that shadow on his chin is…I don’t recall a bruise, and I also don’t recall his hair looking so poofy when he left the house that morning!!  Every time I look at it, it just makes me laugh smile ;) 

Wyatt – Pre-K Senior

Retakes?  I think not!

Wordless Wednesday

Pre-K Field Trip–Roger’s Farm

Today marked the occasion of my VERY FIRST field trip with just Wyatt!  This is the first year that he’s been in a grade level without his brother, and also the first time he’s been on a school field trip without Waylon. 

TES Pre-K took a trip to Roger’s Farm and had a great time!  There was so much to do there, and I think all the kids had so much fun. 

There was a really neat slide that was super slippery and fast!  Wyatt wasn’t so sure about it at first, so I offered to slide down with him the first time. 

After that, he was a pro!

They had a “cow train,”

…and one of Wyatt’s favorite activities of the day was a “corn cannon.”  The man would load half an ear of corn into the cannon, and the kids got to fire away aiming for a scarecrow and rolls of hay.  Wyatt LOVED it!!

Wyatt used some of his rodeo skills he learned last year to rope this steer…

…but he got a little carried away!!  He told Mrs. Heather, “I got em!  Now you tie his legs!”

He rode on a bouncy horse.

He also rode on a real pony.  I think he actually ended up on the pony ride about 6 times.  There were 4 ponies on the pony ride, and only 3 people to walk around with them.  At one point, Wyatt looks over to one of his friends (who was riding a pony that had someone walking along side it) and yells, “Hey Bailey!  I ain’t got nobody walking me!!”  Like he was big stuff…

He enjoyed the duck races…

He fed goats and a pony and loved it!

He got to pick his very own pumpkin from the pumpkin patch to bring home with him.

He had a great day spent with some friends…

…and Momma had a great day spent with her boy!
