Blog 411

This blog was created for our friends and family who don't get to see us -- well, Jonathan and Elise, really -- as often as they'd like. I'm trying to keep you all updated on their milestones and their day-to-day activities. I also hope this will serve as sort of a journal for them as well, something for them to read when they are older that chronologues their lives and adventures. When I can, I'll post pictures and maybe even videos to help bridge the distance.

This blog is Part 2 of the Life of the Hardwicks. This edition will focus on our new lives in Atlanta, GA, that began in July 2013.

2013_11_01 Friday

Wow, is it really November already!?!

I was able to submit the school's Box Top collection. I'm anticipating about $850 for the school!! I guess that makes all the counting, cutting, and packaging worth it. Jonathan's class came in a very close second in the school-wide contest!

I also delivered a large moving box to E's school today to collect candy for the troops. I drew a nice monster's face, cutting out a mouth hole, with a sign that says "Feed Me Candy!" Man, am I amazing or what!? By pick-up time, it was already about 1/2 full!!

From Elise's school:
All of our friends were very excited to tell us how much fun they had during trick or treating! Today we talked about codes. In art, we used colored coded shapes to tell us how to color a picture. X and X colored all of their shapes according to the color code.   We also listened to our letter songs for the day.  X traced a G in the air along with the song.  We also practiced tracing our names today!  X and X traced their names very well.   While we were in centers,  Elise made a King Cobra out of play doh.  We also had fun during music time, where we used sandpaper blocks to tap to the beat of the music.  We also made a code for different actions during exercise time and practiced. running walking and crawling in place.  We finished by dancing one last time to the monster mash before we say goodbye to the Halloween season.

Jonathan and Elise had a joint playdate with our neighbors and another friend after school. They dug around in the backyard and got sooo dirty, but it was awesome fun. So great to be outside on a day like today!!!
