All About Me!

A few weeks back Sam's name was drawn in his kindergarten class to present his "All About Me" project.  He was sent home with a life sized tracing of his body and told to decorate it with photos and items that would teach the class about him.  It was a huge project and Sam worked diligently every night to add to his poster.  He had photos of his friends, his travels, his family and his interests and even decorate his shirt to look like a Seahawks shirt and put a empty pack of Skittles in his hand to show what his favorite candy was.  He was very proud of himself and was excited to present his poster to the class.  Sadly Drew was out of town and couldn't come but Mom got to go in while Grandma watched Cole and Eliza and got a video of the whole presentation to share with everyone.  Sam did a great job and presented his project very well.  It was hard not to chuckle during the question and answer time as 5/6 year olds can say some funny things!  My favorite comment is when a boy asked Sam what his treehouse looked like.  After Sam told him he didn't have a tree house he chimed in and said "Well, how about I come over and build you one?"  Sam got a few laughs out of his classmates which he loved and was very proud of himself and his work.  I will admit I don't keep every little project of his that comes home but his poster is already tucked neatly away in his memory box....how fun it will be for him to look back at it one day!

I didn't get any photos of the finished product of the presentation - I was too worried about getting a video for Drew - but here are a few photos of him hard at work!

Sun River and Portland for Mid Winter Break

Drew had a conference in Sun River OR this past winter and we made the call to tag along for a little vacation.  Things were slightly dampened by the fact that it appears Cole has developed car sickness since the summer. Ugh.  The drive was so long! However, it was worth it in the end and we had a wonderful time relaxing in an amazing little chalet, enjoying the snow, sitting in the hot tub, sledding and skating!  Couldn't have asked for more fun!  A stop at our favorite in Mt. Hood - El burro loco! A glass of wine after our 6 hour road trip turned into 10 hours due to car sickness!  Right before our Owl Walk.  We were told we could walk into the wood and hear the owls. What a bust!  3 cold and tired kids in the dark woods and no owls!  It's now a running joke in our home as the  tour guide kept 'hooting' trying to draw the owl's attention.  If we want someone's attention in the house we often hoot at each other now...
