Crazy Sock Day

It was crazy sock day at school today.  Lexi wore her knee-high hot pink heart ones.  I thought she looked cute.

Geography & Physical Science Project

This week, we had to make salt dough to send to school for a project.  We actually made 2 batches.  Lexi has a girl in her class, who misses out on a lot of these things because her parents don't always come through.  We know this because she was in her class last year too.  Lexi didn't want her to get in trouble for it, so we just made extra.  Today, Lexi got to bring home her project.  She was very excited to show us her different land formations.

Sadly, when she got in the car, Jordan threw his coat in and knocked one of the big ones over.  That is why her eyes look a little teary in the picture above.  He didn't mean to do it.  He was upset about something else.  What a fun way to start a Friday night, right?  I helped them calm down and we glued Lexi's mountain back on.

Expanded Playground

Every year, Lexi and Jordan's school does endless fundraisers.  Last year, they were collecting money to add a new section to the playground.  It was finished this week, but the weather wasn't very good and too many kids were climbing on it so they didn't get to play on it during school.  I took them there today and they had a blast. 

School Picture Day 3rd Grade

It is school picture day.  I took pictures of the kids before they left for school.

Swimming with Lauren

This evening, we went to our friends' house to swim and have dinner.  Lexi and Lauren giggled most of the time.  It was a fun evening.

BYU Fans

Lexi and Jordan were really excited about wearing BYU shirts today.  BYU is playing the University of Texas this weekend.  As you can imagine, there are a lot more UT fans here than BYU ones, but everyone is very friendly about it all.  I decided to try a new hairstyle for Lexi.
