The Shakemaker

Josh always wanted to do a Sunday night shake night.  A family on his mission did it and he thought it was great.  He bought a nice shake maker and we began our tradition.

The boys think it's pretty great.

Sunday nights are the best.

We've invited some families over to do shakes with us.  The Newmans were the first ones. 

We dressed Josh up for one of our shake nights.  It made it a little more authentic.

McKay Plans a Wake

There was quit the crowd at the wake.

McKay made programs and decorations.

We played go fish.

McKay was given a fish and he loved that fish so much.  His name was Abe and McKay would talk to him and make sure he was fed.  He was good to that fish.  One day Abe died and McKay was pretty devastated over it. He picked a nice place by our backyard stream that he thought Abe would like.

McKay asked everyone to say something about Abe.

The boys said things like "Abe was a fish, he liked to swim."

We played a game of name that capitol.  Not sure what it had to do with Abe, but McKay liked it.

For dinner we had Fruity Pebbles (because they look like fish food), and blue jello with Swedish Fish in it for dessert.

McKay has such a sweet heart.  I'm glad the he could have this little wake to help him feel better about things.

Meet the Teacher

We were pretty excited that Meet the Teacher wasn't cancelled.  We had to have it outside, everyone was staggered, everyone wore masks, but at least it happened!  McKay got all of his school supplies.

His teacher is Mrs. MacBrayer and he is pretty excited to have her.  She's awesome!

Mrs McBrayer and Mrs Chester both trade off classes.  McKay is in for a good year.  He was pretty excited to wear his cool cat shirt and fake glasses to Meet the Teacher. 

Art Day

On our summer bucket list we had Art Day.  We read our books about artists and different kinds are art.  Then McKay, Lincoln and I all worked on a different piece of art.  

This was mom's contribution.  It might need a little work...
