Leadership Award for Sully

This morning Sullivan received the Leadership Award for his Kindergarten class this month.

The habit trait he was awarded was:

"Seek first to Understand, Then to be Understood"

We celebrated with a donut breakfast!

 So excited!

 So glad Nannie and Pop Pop were there to celebrate Sully's big morning!

We are so proud of our sweet Sullivan.  He is truly an amazing friend and student.  Keep up the great work, Sully!

SuperBowl Sunday

Today some of our neighborhood friends got together to watch the Superbowl

PopPop surprised the boys with new Panthers Shirts to wear for the big game.

Gill prepared "Panthers Punch", I ordered special cookies, and of course I made a party hat for the occasion!

 At the neighbor's house the kids were all pumped for the game.

 There was a first of yummy food to enjoy

and while our home team didn't win, we sure had a fun time watching with friends!

Sully's Birthday Party

Last night we celebrated Sully's 6th Birthday Party

He chose Blaze and the Monster Machines as his theme.  We had a special shirt and cookies made for the special occasion. 

This year, however, Sully asked that Finny make him a special cake.  Finnegan worked so hard on the delicious cake and did a fabulous job!

Sully's friends all gathered at My Gym to celebrate

 

There were tons of games and lots of laughter

Before we knew it, the candles were lit and it was time for Sully to make his birthday wish

 

Happy Birthday Sweet Boy - we all love you so much!!

Patrick Leadership Award

This morning we celebrated Patrick as he received the Leadership Award for "Think Win-Win"

 We are so proud of Patrick.  His positive attitude and caring personality was the reason he was recognized by his peers.  

 All the grandparents were there to celebrate our special boy

Wonderful job, Patrick!  We love you so much!

Math Homework

Today after school, Sully settled at the kitchen table and, unprompted, opened up 2 math workbooks.  An hour and a half later, Sully had completed both books!

 Just when I thought his math was done for the day, he proceeded to bring his addition and subtraction flashcards to the table where P&F were studying.  Big Brothers finished their work and then helped Sully study as well.

I love how much Sully loves Math!!

Masterpiece Monday

Finnegan came home with some awesome artwork this week

Cubism

 Finny's interpretation of Starry Night

Panthers Fever

While we haven't really been football fans in the past, this year, the boys have gotten into cheering for our home team, the Carolina Panthers.

Pathers Fever reached an all-time high today, when the Panthers played in the championship.

Patrick adjusted his CubScout uniform to show support for his favorite team.

And the boys asked we go out to dinner to a restaurant that was playing the game!

We had an awesome dinner at Bad Daddy Burger Bar, but the boys spent the whole time looking over our shoulders at the game.

With 2 weeks until the Super Bowl, the boys are already gearing up for the big game!
