Stone Soup

Carter had a special lunch at his school called Stone Soup. The story about Stone Soup is here. 

All the kids in Carter's class brought a fresh veggie, frozen veggie, and cup of grains or rice. Every child helped prepare the soup from the class. Carter was very proud to share it with me.

The rest of the class. 

Our soup and crusty bread.

Afterwards we walked around for a bit so Carter could show me his art.

And get some dessert.

Cole had another orthodontist appt and his teeth are doing great. They haven't moved and he's brushing well. He has such a beautiful smile. I'm so glad for him!

After his orthodontist appt I brought him back to the office with me for a few minutes while I finished up some work and Cole finished his homework. 

Sunday morning as I made breakfast the boys watched a movie together and Cole read a little bit. Such cute boys.

Boo at the Zoo!

We picked up Whitney too. She was Dorothy complete with Toto in a basket. 

After all the Halloween activities this one didn't even make a peep and went straight to bed. 

The next morning was Cole's first day at a new school (again). White Pine Charter School accepted Coley on Tuesday and he started Thursday. We are so so so glad to have him in such an exceptional school. He has made quite a few quality friends already and was moved into accelerated math 

the first day. He's such a smart kid and this school will challenge him. 

Carter was tired and really didn't want to turn around for the picture.

He finally did after some begging on my part but he wasn't happy about it. 

Here's to a fantastic rest of the year.
