Swensen Sentral

Chase came home from school today and told me that he got 1st place in pull-ups for 3rd grade! He was so happy and proud about it. What impressed me the most was that when I asked how many 2nd place got, he answered 8.  Haha!  He doubled the second place score!  He also got 2nd place in push-ups.  Proud mommy here. Can't wait to see where this boy goes. 

Sawyer is trying to impress me with his math skills. He asked me to ask him some math questions. So we started with 2+2.  He got it. Then 4+4. He got it. Then I asked, what's 8+8. He thought for a second and then said, "Let me just look at my pretty fingers for a second. I'm just looking at my pretty fingers."  I found it funny that he thought I wouldn't know he was counting in his head.  Haha!

Sawyers favorite food is cereal. He could eat it for breakfast lunch and dinner. He eats everything else like a bird, but he pounds several bowls of cereal.  He just finished two bowls of Cheerios and turned to me and said, "Mom, my last bow is gonna be Life, cuz I wanna live."  Good thinking Sawyer.  Hahahahahahaha!

Sawyer: mom how old are the cats? Me: 6 months old Sawyer: so they're 6? Me: well not 6 years, only 6 months Sawyer: soooo they're 6? Me: no, there's 12 months in a year. The cats are only 6 of those so they're not even a year old yet.  Sawyer: so uh so they're 6 then? Me: not 6 years like you, only 6 months. That is only half of a year so they are only 1/2 a year old.   Sawyer: so they're 1/2 of 6 then? Me: yes, yes Sawyer, yes. 6. 

Went on a Fieldtrip with Sawyers preschool to the grocery store.  We stayed behind and had lunch together. Don't get much alone time with this boy. Love him!

Will someone tell this boy to slow down?   Literally dove for a ball on the hardwood floor. Glasses got him. The good news is he'll have matching scars on both eyebrows. 

Soooo one of the perks of Ricks job is that he gets invited to some fun stuff. Tonight we got to be guests at the Mardi Gras  Mayors Ball . Our ticket stubs were the $2500 level, so it was fancy!  Free appetizers, drinks, dinner, music, dancing, entertainment, tattoo painting, oh and curbside valet too. It was so much fun getting dressed up for a swanky evening. Ricks friend from work and his wife came with us, Andy & Katy Burch.  The front of City Hall A bar made out of ice!!!
