Christmas Lights

I am late with this post, but Francis and Gavin were on time with putting up Christmas lights.  Gavin was a big help this year, with stringing the lights on bushes as well as informing Daddy where they should go.

 

Taking a break with Nana:

A very important discussion with Nana about the backyard lighting situation:

Then time for a football break with Grandpa:

Cat Room Party

Last week Gavin's class had their "unit-culminating activity" so Francis and I got to visit.

Their unit was on their bodies and on Pete the Cat ( a cute book series by James Dean and Eric Litman).

The kids voted on their favorite Pete the Cat book and then read / watched  it on the computer / sang it.

Then the kids put together "Mat Man" - a way of assembling a pretend person.  Gavin had the ears.  It's kind of hard to describe, but it looks like a stick figure when they're done.

Then they colored "Pete The Cat" pictures :

And last, my favorite, we made a Mat Man snack with pretzels, frosting and graham crackers.  Yum!  You can see how it kind of looks like a stick figure:
