100 days of school

well it is coming up on the 100th day of school and it is a big thing for the kids
this year we had to make something at home to bring so we did and each kid loved doing it and even more getting some one on one time with mom
dalton made a fish tank (we have three tanks at home 5 gallan 20 gallan and a 55 gallan) so it was a gallan size bag cut in 1/2 and the blue paper cut a little smaller to keep the bag bowed out with 100 glod fish in it

dominic made a zoo with three cages and we used animal crackers and had zebras in one rinos and camels in the other 33 in each cage and then a zoo keeper walking the 100th animal

christopher glued a 100 peice puzzle together by him self it was of some horses he was very excited to see the puzzle completed

they are very proud of what they did it is so exciting to see them grow
they are doing wonderful in school as always
on an extra note we have been working at our land getting it all cleaned up and in the next week we are going to be getting our pecan trees so that we can keep the land in agriculture we are making it a pecan farm i know it sounds a bit odd but it needs trees and well it kills two birds with one stone right
and in the next weeks after the trees we are also getting the fence put up also
it is all starting to come together we even have the house down to two differnt plans
well that is all for now till next time
