What I have been up to.....

I have been busy with normal everyday things.  We did Easter at Aunt Megan's and Uncle Patrick's in West Seattle.  They had a really big egg hunt!  That's me searching...

 Here I am with all my cousins on my father's side of the family  (The Henley's)

After all the picture taking we got to go through our booty.  I couldn't eat any of the candy because they all had corn or dairy.  Mom got me some candy from Starbuck's.  After Easter, my dojo was training for a competition.  I did not participate, but I helped my karate friends get ready by sparring with them.

Mom cut her hair.  I liked it better the other way, but she's still my mom.

Poppa got out of the hospital/recovery center and came over to play Bocce Balls.  We played around the yard.

School is going well.  I tested into the highly capable program.  On "choice day", I am taking Maker's.  We make/build stuff.

 I helped build this marble run with Seth and Andy.  Mom's in the classroom too, she helps out and teaches knitting to the kids who are interested.

My friend Andy comes home with us on Tuesday, Wednesday & Thursday.  We do homework together and then play until his mother comes for him.  Andy also does karate with me.

Almost Halloween

On Friday, October 30th, we were allowed to wear our costumes to KMVA.

 When Mom picked me up, she had her camera.  I was slender man again.

He's this creepy internet guy that wears a suit in the forest.  He lives off children's souls.  Scary huh?

 My third grade classmates all started getting into the picture.

 And more...

 I decided to run and get my mask.  Otherwise it looks like I am just wearing a suit.  That's not very scary.

 Oh there's Andy.  He's the lone ranger.  Not sure where he was running around....

 Ok, got the mask

 This is my full costume.  Later that same day, Mom and I went to the Halloween party at the dojo.

 I found Sabrina.

 Elliot was Hiccup from "How to Train Your Dragon".  Andy is below with Claire and Sabrina.  We stayed for about 45 minutes.  Fortunately, we did not do the haunted house.  I hear from Sabrina's Mom that it was scary.  Too scary.  Halloween Day was awful around here.  He had a lot of rain and wind.

3rd Grade so far...

This is my 3rd Grade Portrait!  We had pictures soon after school started.  I got my hair cut and my two upper front teeth fell out just days after this picture was taken.

See?  My hair is shorter now!  That's Andy (my friend-also 3rd Grade) and his older brother Elliot.  They come hone with me three days a week.  We also do karate together.

 My Mom, and Andy's Mom, Andrea (that's her above), parent volunteer in my class.  They teach art every other week on Friday afternoon's.  My Mom found the lesson on the internet and called it: "Spooky Trees".

Here are some of my new classmates and their projects... 

Here's mine!  I really like my new school, and my teacher, Miss Newby.  

Hello Kent Mountain View Academy!

The day started off with swim lessons.  Sabrina is in my class, and our friend Andy came to join us afterwards in "Open Swim".  We had fun in the water until it was time for lunch.  Sabrina re-joined us after lunch and we played "Rayman", a fun game that we could all play together!

At 2 o'clock, Andy & I had orientation at our new school, Kent Mountain View Academy (aka KMVA).  It starts in 3rd Grade and goes through high school.  Sabrina will be starting 2nd, so she couldn't come with us.

We were gathered in the school gym.  I still have swimmer hair.

Standing in the distance is Principal Knipp.  She welcomed us and told us some of the events that we could expect our first day of school next week.

All the staff sang a song to: YMCA, instead using KMVA!  Afterwards we got to met our teacher. Miss Newbie, see our classroom and some other fellow 3rd graders.

My parents got finger printed, so that they may help out at the school.  

This is me with Miss Newby.  She is really nice.  I am looking forward to getting back in the classroom!  They day ended with Sabrina and Andy at Goju Karate
