All About them

Tanner & Carter both have "ALL ABOUT ME" projects due @ the end of this week. With soccer practices(for both boys) & basketball practice (Carter) we decided to sit down & complete them in one afternoon. This year, Tanner's teacher has asked each student to create a mystery wheel. When it is their turn to be student of the week, their wheel will go up on the board & the class will try to guess who it is. He came home with a piece of paper that had been folded in a way to create many triangles, kind of like an extra large pizza. Garrett kept calling it a hat - go figure. Tanner had to fill each triangle with something that represents him, the things he likes. Ms. W. wants them colorful & fun. A piece of the "pizza" will be revealed each day till they guess who it is. We had a great time pulling out the scrapbook/craft supplies. See John ...purchasing & hoarding them all, really does come in handy -LOL! My friend Free, had sent Tanner some Harry Potter paper piecings last summer. She made them by hand. We color copied the Harry one & cut it our for his wheel. Thank You Free!!! You totally saved me some time creating that one. He put that he has blue eyes, he loves soccer, he loves pizza, he likes to watch the Olympic games, he loves penguins, etc... He said, "I can't write that I have 3 brothers or that would totally give me away". He is probally right on that one. Tanner used circle punches, Stickles, markers, Google eyes, & many other fun crafting supplies.

Carter had to turn in his ALL ABOUT ME poster too. We used photos & he then drew some of the pictures. One of the fill in the blanks was about a wish...if you could have any wish granted, what would it be? His wish is to have his own room. He didn't wish for all the video games in the world or a big sack of candy, or to stay up past bedtime every night. All he wants is HIS own room. The only time I ever had my own room, in my entire life was when I nannied for Marie & family. Sorry Carter, you will just have to suck it up & continue to share with Tanner -LOL! It is not even like they fight a ton & that is why he would want his own room. Maybe just for the experience??? I shared a room with my 2 sisters for my entire childhood & teenage years. I just thought it was funny, out of all the wishes, that is @ the top of his list.

I am off to have a root canal. It is with a different dentist, One that I trust & feel confident with. Wish me luck. It has been a miserable two weeks dealing with the pain & the "OTHER" dental office. Have a wonderful afternoon!
