I guess I was not thinking ahead when I created this blog and gave it the address of: "Brandon's Adventures in Kindergarten." Apparently I was not thinking that first grade would ever come! Well, it's here now and so therefore I had to change the header to simply "Brandon's Adventures." Much more fitting. The address will remain as it is- oh well, you live and learn right? :) My little first grader has been having many adventures lately. This change of schedule and additional hours of school time has left my sweetie very, very tired. The second week of school was disrupted by three absences due to rash and blisters. We began last year with a rash too! Crazy. Brandon is really liking his teacher and I am excited to help out every other Tuesday with workshops. I was able to teach is class once so far but it happened to be on a day he was absent! Darn. I am sure I will have many other opportunities to be the sub for his class. Brandon is doing great in school, always excelling above my expectations. Here is his first spelling test! So cute! He did really well. ;)
Here are his numbers from 1-100. Precious.
The other day my lil chef helped me make whole wheat bread. He loved kneading the dough! It turned out to be so yummy. He was very proud!
On one of the three days that he was "sick" with a rash, we went down the the beach and spent the day having fun! Brandon's favorite part was eating at Ruby's on the pier...just the two of us.
I am looking forward to another great year at our wonderful school! I love Sumner Elementary and am so thankful that my guy is able to attend there. Brandon, you are awesome.
I made some ghost cookie pops for his friends. They were very spooky!
Later we went for an early trick-or-treat excursion to Grandpa and Mary's house. Brandon "flew" all they way there.
We were lucky enough to attend the "Little Monsters" event at Disney's California Adventure a few days ago. Brandon had an awesome time hanging out with cousins, trying out two rides for the first time (Soaring Over California-loved it- and Mulholland Madness- hated it) and staying up really late!
Brandon had a great time at our ward Halloween party. I am pretty sure that his favorite thing was the "trunk or treat!"
This weekend we went to two different festivals. One was at Brandon's school (which I don't have pictures of, darn!) and the other was at Cal Poly. Brandon had a great time at both of them. Some of the activities that the kids got to participate in were- a bounce house, a big slide, carnival type games and a hay maze.
Brandon and Lily both won little pumpkins!
Fishing for treats!
It was so super hot (98*) that we HAD to have a snowcone!
The man in charge told us that there were 30,000 pumpkins there! Brandon found a really nice one to take home and carve.
Can't wait for Halloween!
