Jaron was chosen to be student of the month in November. He got his picture up on the board at school, got a certificate and a bunch of coupons to various restaurants around town. Jaron is super good in school and for being young compared to other kids he is ahead of a lot of kids in his class in writing and knowing his letters and sounds. He often does the same homework his sisters are doing and keeps up just fine. I was worried I might want to hold him back but he is more than ready for Kindergarten next year. I'm not biased or anything but seriously, he's so stinkin cute how could he not be student of the month just solely on how cute he is. Even his speech teacher thinks he's adorable. I know that's not why you are not student of the month but I just wanted to throw that in there.
We took the kids to a BYU basketball game one night. We had total nosebleed seats but it was fun. The kids were mostly excited to eat the cougar tail doughnuts, sing the fight song and see how many treats they could get. Jaron was interested in the game a little but the girls could've cared less. Next time I'll spend money on better seats and just take Jaron. :)
We're working on learning to make beds...Siena not so much. And a realistic note, this happens maybe once in 30 days of the month.
We had to throw Jaron's ant farm away when all the ants died this month. Jaron was sad and wanted one last picture so he could remember all the paths the ants made.
Shane's cousin jenny got married and it was fun taking the kids to see her as she's always been so nice and coming over to babysit for us. We can't wait to get to know her new husband better and they've already offered to both come over and babysit now!
A cute picture of how Jaron watches Paw Patrol anytime I turn it on...he lines all his Paw Patrol stuffed animals up to watch it with him. I have to pause the show while he goes and gathers them all up.
One Monday while the girls were at school, we went to the dinosaur museum at Thanksgiving Point with some friends. I am always impressed how many dinosaurs they have found bones of and re-constructed. Jaron wasn't as impressed but did love playing with the sand and water and digging for bones. It was a fun morning.
At the last minute I was asked to help with Jaron's Thanksgiving feast at school. It was fun to see him all dressed up and totally entertaining watching what preschoolers will and won't eat. One boy literally ate all by maybe 3 pickles from an entire jar. Good times.
We had a movie and popcorn night and invited a few friends over to join. It was a fun night and so easy to have friends over and watch a movie. However, I was shocked that we went through 7 bags of popcorn! We watched Home on the Range and had a good time.
We had an enjoyable Thanksgiving weekend. Thanksgiving day we went to my parents. Shane wasn't feeling well so he came just as we were eating and then left immediately after. It was a fun day and I didn't take one picture.
That Saturday after Thanksgiving we were having such warm weather that I convinced Shane to go to Temple Square and see the lights. Apparently all of Utah had the same idea...it was super crowded. Just finding a parking spot was quite the feat. However, I loved being outside and not being so freezing cold. The lights were so pretty and we had a good night. We even took the time to walk around by the Church office building and see the nativities from all around the world. Shane however has already put a note in his phone for next year that reads 'don't let Sheri talk you into going to Temple Square on Thanksgiving weekend.' To me though it was totally worth the crowds to not be freezing cold.
