Lincoln's first field trip was scheduled for Friday morning, and he was so excited!! Kinder through 2nd would go to Pearce High School to watch a play, and Mommy got to join the class. We took a fun picture before the show started.
Our picture crasher and his buddy turned out to be neighbors on our street. They informed us that they live 7 and 3 houses down, respectively. They also invited Lincoln to play football and basketball with them anytime. (And the second one's mom is an SMU basketball coach, so we should definitely take them up on the lessons!) Who knew such cool 2nd graders lived on our street?!?!
While waiting for the play to start, Lincoln and Canon had a few games of "One Two Three Four, I Declare a Thumb War!" Such sweet friends enjoying a silly game!
The play was 'A Year with Frog and Toad', and the Pearce High School drama department did an excellent job of entertaining the kids. Lincoln's favorite character was the snail "mailman" who dramatically walked REALLY slowly to deliver Toad's letter to Frog. His song was funny, and he was nice enough to pose for a picture with Lincoln and Ben. (Also he told the boys that he went to Bowie for Elementary, and they thought that was too cool!)
When it was time to head back to school, the kids were loving that they got to ride the bus again. They loved the play so much, but they probably loved the 5 minute bus ride the best!!! Awesome pic of Linc getting on the bus! (Our school doesn't have buses because we are all in the neighborhood, so we had to pay $5 each to rent a DISD bus/driver. In the future, it would be worth each parent to pay $5 for the kids to just ride in a bus for an hour . . . it was the most exciting part of the day!!
After the field trip, Beau and Mommy had lunch and went for a fun shopping trip. We stopped at a new market with fun vendors selling so many different gifts, and we found several Christmas gifts. Such a cutie!
When we picked up Lincoln from school on Friday afternoon, he made us pose by his award winning decorated stocking. Apparently the kids decorated stockings earlier in the week. The principal picked her favorites to hang on the wall, and Lincoln's was one of them! He was so proud . . . and so were we!
We met up with Nana to visit NorthPark after school. The boys (and everyone else!) were in awe of this optical illusion. The barrel is short, but their trick with lights and mirrors was amazing!
We were really there for our annual visit to see the trains, and we were surprised that there were only a few visitors on Friday afternoon. They loved the trains!!!
We have always gone on a Friday morning, and there are usually so many kids/strollers/moms/etc that it is hard to see. Not this time . . . they practically had the place to themselves! Waiting on the trains to come around the corner . . .
Cheese for Mommy!
We made a candy cane cake for dessert, and the boys were really proud that it actually looked like a candy cane. (They didn't want it to taste like peppermint/candy cane, but they loved the icing and sprinkles!)
Eating candy cane cake in Christmas pjs is the best idea ever . . .
. . . and both boys were all smiles!
We brushed our teeth and watched Home Alone (for the millionth time) before bed, and everyone went to sleep happy. Super Fun Friday!!!
