Fun times with School!

This Spring has been very busy as the school year comes to a close and this post covers a couple of months!

We started the busy season off with Joseph's Leprechaun Trap.

The design: The leprechaun walks up the green steps and sees gold in the bottom of the box. The Leprechaun jumps into the box to grab the gold and instead gets stuck on the sticky mouse trap! HAHA...and Joseph's got a leprechaun!

Next came a Kindergarten field trip to the zoo!

I love his face.. Yes Boyd, you are actually touching that snake!

The following week came Joseph's first grade field trip to the Tucson Botanical Gardens to see the Butterfly Exhibit.

These two boys are trouble when they are together, but lots of fun!

The most beautiful butterfly of all..and I got to take it home!

I love Raising my Boys:

"You are home to him. When he learns to walk, he will wobble a few feet away from you and then come back, then wobble away a little farther and then come back. When he tries something new, he will look for your proud smile. When he learns to read, he will repeat the same book to you twenty times in a row, because you're the only one who will listen that many times. When he plays his sport, he will search for your face in the stands. When he is sick, he will call you. When he really messes up, he will call you. When he is grown and strong and tough and big and he feels like crying, he will come to you; because a man can cry in front of his mother without feeling self-conscious. Even when he grows up and has a new woman in his life and gets a new home, you are still his mother; home base, the ever constant, like the sun. Know that in your heart and everything else will fall into place."

"Example is an important characteristic of a boy’s life." President Spencer W. Kimball

"Mothers of little boys work from son up til son down"

"If you are still in the process of raising children, be aware. The tiny fingerprints that show up on almost every newly cleaned surface, the toys scattered around the house, the piles of laundry lying around to be tackled, will disappear all too soon. And, you will to your surprise, miss them profoundly." President Thomas S. Monson

"No other success can compensate for failure in the home."

"The greatest work you will ever do will be within the walls of your home."

"Motherhood is about raising & celebrating the child you have, not the child you thought you would have. It's about understanding that he is exactly the person he is supposed to be, and that if you're lucky he just might be the teacher that turns you into the person you're supposed to be." - Joan Ryan

"You are part of my existence, part of myself. You have been in every line I have ever read...You have been the embodiment of every graceful fancy that my mind has ever become acquainted with." -Dickens
