Our Little Artist
Last Monday, Ryan started in an after school art program that is held once a week. His section is taught by his school's librarian, who is a very sweet lady. The theme of this last week was cats. Here are a couple of photos with him and unrelated art projects from his first grade class. I've gone to taking pictures of the boys with their art so that I don't have to keep each one.
Transformation
From this... To this...
I was finally getting around to taking my yearly shot of Steven (I take a picture of each of my children in the same chair with the same stuffed animal (each child has his own) each year on or around their birthday). Well, June got away without me taking Steven's rocking chair picture, and then I completely forgot about it. So in the middle of January, I finally was taking Steven's yearly shot. Andrew decided that he wanted a picture taken himself, and threw an absolute fit that I was taking pictures of Steven. Then it was his turn in the chair. Look at that grin.
Put It In the Books
Last week was Steven's last basketball game of the Meridian Youth Basketball League's season. (He's on the far right in the photo). So today, we can stay home. It was a good season - it's fun to watch the kids play. Next year will be Steven's last year to play in the MYBL. It ends after fifth grade, because the kids start playing competitively in 6th grade. It's a good opportunity to become familiar with the game and learn the rules. Even though there is no score kept, you find that the kids try to keep score themselves. And sometimes you see parents keeping score in the stands.
