I love the early years of elementary school. Everything is big, colorful and creative. Every party is larger than life. It brings me back to the simple life when life was filled with crayons, best friends and recess. Tanner's 1st grade class is no different. I walk in and learning is exciting. It does help that there was major sugar involved on this particular day but doesn't sugar make everything better? I brought Callen and I think this was one of the last school visits where I can bring the little guy too. He has found his legs and with that comes a major independent streak. Add candy, frosting and a meticulously neat teacher and it was a deadly combination. Tanner did have fun showing his cute brother off to his friends so I guess it was worth the mess and chaos. Tanner and I made a fabulous looking gingerbread house. I kept trying to talk him into putting the good candy on the house (aka chocolate) so I could pick them off a little at a time but he wasn't having any of that. He went for the skittles and the marshmallows. Blech! I will have to train him better. We had a big learning curve for how to get the house to stay up until I remembered the oh so famous primary song - the wise man and the foolish man. Once we built a strong foundation things started to move around. Tanner walked me around his classroom and showed me all of the fabulous art projects he made and then was the #1 cleaner in the classroom. It was a sweet day in more ways than one.
