Counting Down The Days

Now, it is the first day of summer. This ends our countdown. Everyone, have a beautiful, safe summer!!!

4 more days until summer! We pretty much get to party for the last four days of school that are left. Gavin's tee-ball games are starting, so that's a sign of summer. Tayli has already started softball, and there's another sign.

5 more days until summer vacation! Sign of summer: Tayli's solo for orchestra is over, the biathlon is tomorrow, and Gavin is already out of school!

Counting Down The Days

We are getting closer every day to summer vacation. You can tell it is getting close, because of the many signs that are happening. This is the start of the summer countdown.

Today we have 13 more days until summer. The sign of summer today was that uncle Ryan graduated from medical school, and there is water in the ditch!!!

Gavin's Homework

So we have been having some adventures lately with Gavin and his homework. Last week he had to draw a picture and write a sentence of something beginning with the letter "U." He began drawing a muscle man with "underarm" hair. I told him, this wouldn't do, and gave him our Children's Dictionary to find something else to draw. He then happened along the word, "urine," and was laughing so hard he was rolling on the floor. I decided underarm hair was a good compromise.
Next, he needed to type his sight word of the week on a computer. The word was "you." He created a 10 page powerpoint in color with the word several times on each page. I thought this was quite marvelous for a 6-year old.
Last night he had to draw a picture and write a sentence of something beginning with the letter "K". He drew a great picture and wrote the sentence, "These are the Knights that say knee." I think the point was finding something with the K sound. Oh well.

We just got back from Gavin's soccer game, and he scored 5 goals!! Amazing!!!

Prom!

Every year, Grandma Becky is in charge of prom. The kids all go and help serve the treats, dance, and party every year. We have so much fun!

Start of a blog!

Okay, the Craner's just got a blog! We're still trying to figure out how to post things, but have fun looking at stuff when we figure out how to do it!
