Big night at the judo club

Tonight, 3X world champion Kosei Inoue came to visit your judo club. Nate and Ben, you watched in amazement as he threw your many black belt teachers across the mat.

Pictures @ Target

The boys did great at their photo shoot so they were able to get a reward (Dottie the Pillow Pet for Nate and the Beast for Ben).

Ode to SpongeBob

Ben loves SpongeBob Squarepants and often draws him, his pet snail Gary and his pineapple house. He's getting pretty good, especially considering these pictures are from memory.

Greek Gods in the Produce Aisle

Mom and the boys were at the grocery store. Nate saw a box of pomegranates and remarked, "Hey Mom, that's what Persefone ate that made her stay in the Underworld with Hades." Ben chimed in,"His dog Cerberus keeps her there." Needless to say we got a few looks from the shoppers around us...but they were right! Mom was so proud!

Faces

In yoga class, the boys drew faces representing different feelings. Ben's is on top and Nate's is on bottom. Although Ben may have added more visual details, Nate included a description of when he feels each of these feelings...

Happy – my birthday
Sad - when I fall off my bike
Angry – when things don't work
Afraid – first day of school
Sleepy – when it is bed time
Hot – when it is sunny
