build a book

Most of our days are pretty much the same. Get up, take Ethan to school, come home, nap time, pick Ethan up, homework, dinner, bed. That's why there isn't much to blog about. Sorry. Even this is short and sweet.

Today, Ethan's school, invited families to come in and build a book with their kid. Elliott was so excited when I told him we were going to the school, I had to hear about it the whole time we were running errands. "Book, mom, book." And when we parked at the school, "Out mom, book." Good thing I have him around so I know what I'm supposed to be doing. :)

Of course I forgot the camera, so these are crappy cell phone pictures, but at least I have pictures.

All the students got a blank book. They had to make their own story with a beginning, middle and end, complete with illustrations. Ethan's book is titled The Sports Day. Elliott didn't get a book, but Ethan's teacher brought him some paper to draw on.

His favorite part was, by far, the thousands of stickers to look at and choose from. He would get a couple, take them back to his seat, put them on the paper, and head back for more.  

Ethan is such a great big brother. He took time away from his own project to help Elliott with his stickers.  

Ethan's book turned out great, and we got some new "Elliott Art" for our refrigerator. It made for a very fun morning.
