Kierce was excited to ask her dad if she could go to work with him for "Bring Your Child to Work Day" this past Thursday. She was blessed with the opportunity to go, and it sounded like both Kierce and Ryan had a great time! He even had her learning a creative program called Illustrator on the computer.
Rowan's school was planning a "Walk to School with the Mayor" event this morning. Here are most of the kids, and some people from some different advocate organizations. Rowan was a little bummed that the mayor had to cancel, although he did send his right hand man, Bob Filner, to walk with us.
It was a lot of fun!
...and Rowan won a free brand new street helmet! Her helmet was getting a little rough, so she was stoked!
When I picked up Merrick from school today, he grabbed my hand and lead me into the classroom to show me where his clip was at on the color ladder. See his name on purple? That means his behavior was excellent, and his friend Noah was on purple as well!
Merrick has a sharing project once per month. This month the sharing project was creating a robot out of recycled, and unneeded materials. When he first found this box, he took about 3-5 minutes just checking it out, opening it up, then he decided that his robot would open up to expose his insides. The guts of this robot was really the showcase.
His dad thought it would be rad to make the robot move! So he helped Merrick fit one of his remote control cars into the bottom of the robot. Merrick LOVED this, and was so happy to have his dad's help. Rowan and I helped Merrick along with the decorating. He was loving all of the attention and getting to use his ingenuity. He LOVES constructing things! Some days after school, he will come home and start pulling all kinds of supplies out, or use an item from nature he found on our journey home to inspire him with a creation of some sort. His forte is creating functional art.
Kierce made a big decision to let go of her prized nutcracker she had asked Santa for almost a year and a half ago. Considering that the arm had fallen off, we all thought it was time. It was fun to capture some silly memories before allowing him to find a new home.
Kierce and the Nutcracker say, "Have a wonderfully, especially nutty week!"
