He was even able to do speed breaking on his first try. They don’t get to practice breaking techniques before the test.

 

Good job Finn!

Early Birthday Gifts

We were at Walmart and this 19” TV was on sale. When Finn saw it, he said “This will be perfect in my room!” Coz what he currently has in his room is a 13” tube TV. So we said it was gonna be his early birthday gift.

Little did he know that we have another gift for him that we were supposed to give on the day of, but couldn’t wait anymore so we gave it to him already. Look at his face when he realized what it was (^_^)

We already installed some of the games that he’s been playing on our phones. And daddy gets a big kiss. He’s been asking for a phone for a while now. Although this means that he won’t have gifts to open on his actual birthday =P

Holiday Program

This is Finn’s 4th Grade class singing Christmas Island and 12 Days of Christmas at the school’s Holiday Program this morning.

Lenape Indians

Finn’s first diorama project is about the Lenape Indians, the original New Jerseyans. This was due today and Finn said that he got an A for it (^_^) Good job mommy! Well, I did all the cutting and printed the background, plus the little plot of farm. Finn planned out the space, then went shopping with me for some of the materials. The trees and plants for the farm we got from our yard. The longhouse interior is a butter container that we wrapped with felt and flexible stems. The sparkly water is made from foil and blue cellophane gift wrap. The grass is made from scrub sponges then we put deer moss on top of floral foam to stick the branches for trees. Finn did all the taping and gluing. Cool huh!
