This and That...

Big Man is almost 8. I've been wanting to get him a suit for his upcoming baptism.  I finally got it the other day.  He was pretty excited to try it on.  The white socks will definitely go when he officially wears it!  He was so cute, it was still laying on the couch today after school, so he put it on and wore it to Parent Teacher conferences.  His teacher was pretty impressed :)  I can't believe he's getting so big. 

I'd like to thank Pinterest for these next pictures.  I was put in charge of the Pinewood Derby treats, so what better place to look than Pinterest.  Mine didn't turn out nearly as cute, but the 8 year old boys (and their younger siblings) didn't care as they were snatching them up.  It took a lot longer to do than I thought, I was exhausted by the time the night was over.

Little Man came home the other day kind of quiet.   When we got in the house, he followed me in my room and then pulled out a little dog tag he'd got at school.  He won an award for Math.  He was so excited, but kind of quiet and shy about it too.  It was really cute.  I like how their school does awards.  The kids get these little dog tags that they can put on a necklace.  Big Man has several from last year for various things-attendance, etc. as well as awards they earn.  If you can't tell from the picture, he looks pretty proud.  He loves school and is doing so well.  I'm proud of him.
