little penguin

Cale has been learning about penguins this week in school and to end the week the Pre-K'ers will be watching the movie Happy Feet. The kids were supposed to dress up as the polar animal of their choice, thus the penguin outfit (made by my dear mother-in-law who is also working on Connor's colonial costume for next week...there is always something!!!! And while I do like to sew, I have not gotten past the point of cord covers just yet, but one day I hope that I can make these things on my own. We'll see....)

the hat was a bit ill-fitting, but Cale loved it more than anything else! (he kind of looks like a nun doesn't he!?)

Cale was so excited to go to school this morning! He said, I hope everyone likes my penguin costume! {They'd better like it!} Coby has also been learning about penguins this week so he was able to give us a lesson on penguins the whole way to school. I loved it. It is so neat to hear the boys share what they're learning with each other (and me). I learned more about penguins than I ever thought I'd know, but it was really interesting and a delightful ride to school without any arguing which was a nice way to start off the morning!!!

Darren will be working tonight during our Family Fun Friday time so it's just me and the boys. I've got to start thinking of something fun to do...I'm thinking of taking them to dinner and maybe shopping at Toys R Us to spend their Christmas gift cards. We'll see if I'm feeling that brave by the time the evening rolls around....if not, there's always the old standby, pizza and a movie!

Happy Friday!
