Our new Weekly objective-- learning a new culture, state, country, etc

Cole and I have started a new project. We bought a globe of the earth and Cole is supposed to pick a new place for us to learn about that week. We will have at least one meal, one movie, one drawing event, and read all about our new place. This week he chose Hawaii. We borrowed some books from the library about Children from Hawaii and a cookbook. I imagine we will watch Lilo and Stitch at some point this week. He seems to be really excited about this new adventure. I also hope it opens his eyes to the rest of the world and what is out there. He has already chosen Madagascar for next week. I will post pictures once we get the food made and some craft work done. This should be a fun adventure for us.

His Great White Shark Costume goes with our theme this week.
Love to all.

Santa Claus-2010

We went to talk to Santa and I told Cole that we were headed to see one of Santa's helpers. Cole had a lot of questions, but he wanted to make sure that Santa got his list. Once we were there Cole was so animated and talked to Santa for about 5 minutes. We took the picture, walked to the car and then Cole said: " Mama, I am pretty sure that was totally the real Santa." It was priceless.

School Picture: Kindergarten

Here is Cole's school picture. I will have to say I think this is the best picture he has taken. Mom is so proud!!!

Thanksgiving

We spent Thanksgiving at Grandpa and Meme's house in Del Rio. Cole played with his Uncle Evan's air rifle and is starting to learn the proper ways to handle a gun. Grandpa is excited that in only a few short years Cole will be ready to hunt with him. We also were able to spend some wonderful time with Uncle Dave, Aunt Susie and cousin David. We have missed them the past few years.

Halloween 2010

The race car picture was from the Halloween fair at the museum. We has so much fun. Cole played all the games they had set up but of course sitting in the race car pretending to be a race care driver was his favorite part.

Cole and his best friend Sierra went trick or treating together. He was stitch from the Disney Movie: Lilo & Stitch. He wanted to be able to have 4 arms and make strange noises. At least that was he reasoning for being the alien Stitch. Sierra was dressed as Daphne from Scooby Doo.

The Fair --South Plains Fair

We went to the fair with Cole's best fried Sierra. They talk about when they are going to get married, how many kids they are going to have, how many dogs..etc. It is pretty funny! By the way it is 3 kids and one dog. They had a lot of fun holding ducks and riding the rides. We had corn dogs, cotton candy, turkey leg, and a funnel cake. We had a blast.

Pumpkin Patch

We had a good time picking out pumpkins for Halloween. Cole wanted the little ones and we only got one big one for carving. He has decided that we have to make a ghost for the carving and it has to have crazy eyes.
