Oh my it was an EVENTFUL weekend! So as you can see from the pics Andrew has a wonderful birthday:) Everyone arrived around 6pm Friday night for a campout sleepover. Daddy set up the tent outside for the boys to play in but eventually they slept upstairs. First we all went fishing. Everybody caught a fish! For dinner we had hamburgers and hotdogs and then went for a bug hunt with flashlights and bug jars. Andrew was dying to open his presents next. We played outside until it was dark and then the boys hit the showers. Yes all boys showered with soap! Upstairs to the playroom for some Wii and dsi. Next it was movie time watching Star Wars Phantom Menace. Lights out at 11pm and you know they laughed and giggled for a little while:) Wake up time was at 6am with breakfast to follow. Jelly biscuits was Andrew's request with bacon and eggs. Everybody had somewhere to be Saturday morning so the house was empty by 8:30am. It was a lot of fun!
On a side note-Andrew's actual bday was Thursday. He wore the birthday vest at school and Mommy brought fishing pole cupcakes for snacktime. Daddy came for lunch up at the school and Mommy did a craft project in the classroom. Thursday night was soccer practice and more cupcakes and then dinner at McDonald's. Whew!!!
For many, many many years now Harding has had number badges. Daniel earned number badges while he was in Kindegarten. These badges are earned by self motivation in the classroom by writing on a 100's chart. Andrew started at the end of Januaury writing from 1-100, then each day he would continue writing 100-200 ect, ect. Well, he had to decide what number he personally wanted to write to and he wrote to 2,200 right before Spring Break! He did an outstanding job! Some days he would earn 2 badges. His favorite badge is the basketball but he also likes the rocket, boot and football helmet. This past Friday all the students wore all of their badges to school for Number Badge Day.
