School Boys

At the beginning of November the boys had Career Day at school.  Ethan dressed like a doctor, and Caden dressed like and entomologist.  The little entomologist, who we loving refer to as our absent minded professor, was so excited about his magnifying glass and bug lanyard that he forgot about his shoes.  Clark dropped him off in front of the school and he took a few steps before he realized he was barefoot.  He ran back for his shoes and made it in before the bell.

Caden LOVES crafts!  He was so excited to bring home a piece of paper with a turkey on it.  The assignment was to disguise the turkey.  Caden wanted to make his turkey floating away in a hot air balloon with his feather disguised as clouds.  Of course!  I think he succeeded.

The school had a fund raiser in November where they hired a company similar to build a bear to come in and the kids could make their own stuffed animal.  Of course my boys really wanted to build an animal, so I told them they would have to earn the $17.  They put quite a bit of money away one afternoon clearing the tumble weeds from our back deck area.  It was unbelievable.  The winds storms we get out here are insane, after being up all night thinking the roof was going to blow off our house we woke up to this:

Caden picked a penguin to stuff and Ethan picked an eagle.  They got to put a "wishing star" in their animal before it was stitched up at the end.  Caden told me he wished that our family can all be safe.  Ethan told me he wished for an X-Box (at least he's honest).

Their Thanksgiving art from school reflects their personalities perfectly.
