Five for Friday


1. This was on the back of Whitney's spelling test last week. Pledge, edge and stage were all words from her list, but I think she added the blah, blah herself.


2. This picture of Andrew's recent graduation from "school" is hilarious to me because...
A. Whoever took it had no zooming skills whatsoever
B. His hat is slightly askew, which is just too perfect.
C. I can't believe they got him to wear the cap and gown at all.


3. A couple weeks ago during Sharing Time I had the kids draw pictures of things that let them know Heavenly Father and Jesus love them. The kids drew their families, nature, scriptures, and one little 8 year old girl drew Target! I thought that was hilarious and oh so true!


4. It was Whitney's teacher's birthday this week so I brought balloons and donuts, and the room mom made a video of all the kids answering questions about the teacher and put it together as a little movie. I thought it was a very cool gift.


5. Amie and I went to lunch at La Dolce Vida yesterday on a spontaneous outing to Provo because Amie had to deposit a check.

Good times and good lunch.

**Who knew spelling test art could be funny?
What do you think of the Target incident?
Do you have movie making skills?**

Comment Window Tidbit: I'm having a bizarre case of left nostril itchiness. It's driving me crazy!

I too am thankful for Target. It is the only place you can get bread, diapers and fabulous-fashinable clothes.

Melinda said...

I love that picture of Andrew. So cute.

That is hilarious about the Target picture.

No, I do not have movie making skills. Wish I did though.

I am dying! That is so funny the girl drew Target. That is one of my "happy" places. You just can't walk inside without feeling a little giddy.

Whitney is so cute. What a personality she has!

TARGET? Gotta love that child!!

Yummy lunch. Is that where we went many moons ago? Sounds familiar..

Unfortunately, I leave all the movie making skills to the littles. They are fierce.

Fun that your brother wore his cap and gown! I'm sure he would love that photo!

We haven't had rain all week. JOYFUL!

Natasha said...

Too funny about Target.

Whitney's paper reminds me of Luci. Luci mailed her some bookmark making supplies and wrote out instructions. Her last direction to Whitney was "get wild."

Tess use to draw pictures on the back of her spelling test and the teacher wrote a note home saying not to. Kinda sad.

the picture of Andrew and your parents is so cute, love the hat askew.

is that your colored chalk? I need some for sunday if it is can I borrow it? It's funny one of the kids drew target.

Ah! I am totally swiping the room mom video idea! I am the room mom this year in Isabelle's class & I've been drawing a blank in regards to the teacher's birthday.

THANK YOU!!! You rock, as usual.

Amanda said...

I love Whitney's creativity. She is such a funny gal.

We were supposed to run errands yesterday but it snowed all day long, so it was postponed until today. We got in the car and Everett asked where we were going and I said, "Target" and he squealed and with excitement and said "Yeah!Yeah!". I've created a monster.

I love my imac because of the movie making abilities..I make one every year for my grandparents and parents.

Ashley said...

It's been sunny here today, too! SOOOO good for the soul!

I am laughing at the person who took that picture and didn't zoom! It's still cute though--thank goodness for cropping!

Jealous of your lunch . . .

I LOVE the comment about target!!

and what a great idea for the teacher's birthday- brilliant. Unfortunately I have no movie making skill.

I love coming to this blog & knowing you are here- especially after a rough day of cub scouts.

thanks

Elizabeth said...

I could see my 8 year old girl picking Target!

Nikki said...

Who knew spelling test art could be so funny? Whitney did and enlightened us all.

I love the Target in the heart. Truly a blessing.

Love Andrew's picture, but seriously, people need to learn to zoom!

I can make a slideshow of pictures set to music, but my girls are the masters of iMovie.

michelle said...

Target! That's just awesome. It reminds me of a time when I took Max there (I think he was about 9) and he said "Target is all about cool." amen.

I love that Whitney turns everything into art.

I don't have any movie-making skills, but I would love to gain some!

melanie said...

Whitney is creative all. the. time. It's adorable. Especially to me as I don't see or find the messy trail she sometimes leaves behind, ha.

So fun to have a lunch with Amie. I love impromptu lunches, I had one today.

I have no movie skills and would have had to help with treats too!

Ann On and On... said...

That Target heart is great!

Whitney is so talented...

It would have been fun to have a family photo not a random group shot.

Rebekah said...

That child is clearly being trained in the way that she should go.

I love that sharing time idea. So simple, but it's interesting and engaging for the kids. I've noticed that primary aged children really like to perform in some way or another, especially when it includes coming to the front of the room. They like holding pictures, acting out actions, etc. Too cute.

I tell you what, teachers love a good, mentally stable, room mom. Kuddos!

Amy said...

I want movie making skills very badly! I think I need to get some software first, though! ;)

That is so funny about Target, but in all honesty, my kids would probably say the same thing. At least that would be how they know I love them! I buy everything for them there!

After a long day of campus last year, Charlotte and I would take a trip to Target as our own version of therapy. I would go much more often if I still had a car.

When I was younger, I would make movies with my friends and family all the time. I was the director, writer, producer, and editor, and I just bossed everyone around. My favorite film was one entitled "Cold Feet." It was about a villain named Mwa Ha and his assistant Hee Hee. They attempted to steal all the socks in the world, but the spunky teenage detective thwarted them. I so wish we still had a copy.

jenn said...

I love primary.

Seriously- your posts are making me starved! That pasta looks delicious!

shannon said...

Target is definitely a way that Heavenly Father and Jesus show me that they love me! tee hee

So funny about the "no zooming skills" on Andrew's graduation picture...

Seriously, Jill?! You made a movie for Whitney's teacher?! Why can I not think of creative gift ideas like that?! That is so original and thoughtful...I'm sure she will cherish it forever!
