Sydneys School Poem

 April: For 3rd grade Sydney was told as a school assignment that she needed to memorize a poem and have some sort of art work to accompany it.
So Jake helped draw the shape of the octopus and Sydney painted it in (I helped at one point, because it got really late and she needed to go to bed).

Over the course of two weeks we practiced the poem to the point where all 3 kiddos could repeat it.

Octopus:

The arms on the octopus number eight: one, two three, four, five, six, seven, eight!

All curled up and pointing straight, one, two three, four, five, six, seven, eight!

In the ocean, octopuses wait, one, two three, four, five, six, seven, eight!

For clams and crabs to put on their plate! One, two three, four, five, six, seven, eight!

she also had to make another poster about specific math facts. And she drew it pretty well.

Grandma Arnold Easter Get Together

April 25th, 2021.

 Grandma had a get together in her condo, and the kids got to hunt eggs in her backyard. 

The kids got bored pretty quickly, because her yard is small. So we only stuck around long enough to sing happy birthday to all the Jan, Feb, March, and April birthdays. Then we left. Headed home to get some chores done.

Game Night at My Parents

April 24th, My mom set up a game night with her group of friends and family. So it was quite crowded. How we ended up doing the night is we split into six groups, while the kids played downstairs. Each group had like twenty minutes to play, and then when the timer was up we moved to a new table and took over someones spot and someone else took over our turn at the table we just left. Then at the very end we played a "Neanderthals."
