100 Days of Homeschool

The first thing we did was make necklaces with 100 fruit loops.
Chloe celebrated her 100th day of school this week! We had been counting the days of school since school started in August. It has been a great activity to learn counting and PATIENCE!!! She has been very excited to get to this day so I knew that it needed to be extra special. Here are some pictures from our day!
We also made 100 day glasses. Here is Caleb sporting his 100 day glasses.


Chloe's glasses.

Chloe was pretty proud to mark off the 100th day of school!

100 pieces of monkey bread for breakfast!

We had lots of sugar. This is a picture of Chloe making her very own "100 Snack" from 10 different snack foods.

THANK YOU to everyone who gave Chloe 100 of something. That was her favorite part of the day!!!

Counting pom poms and making sure Grandma Judy sent exactly 100. She did!!

Counting 100 Animals. The kids got 45 animals without any help from me!
Thanks for all the great ideas Angie VP!!! 

Chloe showing off her "100 Snack"

Daddy gave Chloe 100 Lego pieces (his old ones) and she had to make something with exactly 100 pieces.


Chloe made a house.
One of Chloe's assignments. She didn't finish  the $100 part.

Another assignment for the day.
We had a really fun day and even had time to read some 100th day of school books from the library. I would highly recommend "100th Day Worries" by Margery Cuyler and "Emily's First 100 Days of School" by Rosemary Wells. Thanks to all of you who helped make Chloe's 100th day of kindergarten special. Now I guess I just need to start preparing for the LAST day of kindergarten!!! Crazy!

At nap time yesterday Caleb picked out a princess story (a Princess Gigi book) for his story of choice. It is a VERY girly book. Chloe scoffed at his choice. Making fun of him she said, "Boys DO NOT read books about princesses." Caleb calmly replied, "Well, boys marry Princesses someday so I might as well know something about them." Well said Caleb.

A 60th Wedding Anniversary Party!

These pictures were so FUN to look at!

Kyle wore my dad's leisure suit from 1975 to host the Not So Newleywed Game. He did awesome! Grandma and Grandpa didn't win but I think they had fun?!?

I tried to capture a picture of them cutting their cake like their wedding picture.

The cake and the mints.

A red themed candy bar was SO APPROPRIATE for my Grandpa!

The original wedding cake topper!

Their gang.

Happy Anniversary Grandma & Grandpa! We love you!!!
