The weather this "winter" has been extremely mild, and we have enjoyed several days in the 70s! We are all taking advantage and being outside as much as possible.
On Friday, Mom had volunteered to be the Mystery Reader for Lincoln's class. Five clues were submitted, and the kids got to guess who they thought was coming in to read.
Here were the clues:
My favorite food is Mexican
I really like to bake chocolate chip cookies.
My favorite song is Amazing Grace.
I did not grow up in Texas.
My favorite team is the Texas Rangers.
Those seemed pretty obvious, and Lincoln could get this for sure. Uh, not so much! His teacher finally had to make it a choice between Lincoln and Levi, and he guessed himself. He was so surprised to open the door to find Mom standing there! We read a superhero comic book, played superhero bingo with skittles as our game pieces, and won suckers for each bingo round . . . pretty sure the moms loved their kids being hyped on sugar at the end of the school day! It was so fun, and the kids really had a great time. Such a fun group, and can't wait to do it again.
We played on the playground for a while after school. Why head home to play inside when another beautiful "warm" day was gifted to us? Beau was loving hanging on the big playground, and he just can't wait until Kindergarten!
On the way home, we discussed how Lincoln had missed all of the clues. "What's Mexican food?" he says!!!!! Like the food we eat all the time in Texas, like the restaurants you have grown up going to, like the best food ever, like tacos, and quesadillas, and that place we go to with fajita in the name?!?! Who's child is this? More of the same on the other clues. We might need to work on noticing some important life details . . . before the next Mystery Reader.
