LITTLE TALES FROM SCHOOL!

I have learned several interesting little tales from my kids at school that Jared thinks needed to be in the blog...

Today the first thing out of Emma's mouth in our car was, "I HAVE THE LONGEST HAIR IN 6TH GRADE!" apparently they measured today and she is quite pleased with herself!

Eli would like to be referred to from now on as Hershey Kiss! They made up soccer names today at school and Blake is Lizard, Eli is Hershey Kiss and Zach has a lot of hair so his name is Puffy Hair!

At Donuts for Dudes and Divas I learned that Tyson and Jade (a girl) licked tongues! So I had to put a kabosh on licking, kissing, hugging, etc.  Also, a girl on the bus has a crush on Tyson! 

Tyler's teacher has separated the boys from each other and Tyler is a leader in his class. 

Eli is the "captain" at his table which means the kids look to him to be an example and for him to keep quiet. He earned this spot by being such a responsible kid. We are in love with his teacher this year. After having such a bad teacher last year and always coming home with bad reports it is so nice to see the complete opposite this year. He is a leader, an example and he has earned the citizenship award twice already - suck on that Mrs. Mayer!! 

After Donuts on Friday, I walked the boys out to the playground before the bell rang and Eli pointed out all the big kids playing across the field - they have to be 5th and 6th graders - he says that is who he plays with - the big kids he says! He is brave enough to go and play football and soccer with them - he is awesome! 

The twins like to play ninjas at recess and Eli plays soccer, football or kick ball. 

Emma is doing great in CATS so far. Less homework this year than she had last year at this time - we hope it keeps up like this for her sake. 

Jared was home last week for work so we surprised the kids at school during lunch! (we did visit Emma too - just don't have a picture)
