First Open House

About a week ago Jackson came home from Preschool saying that his teacher said there was an open house and he could invite anyone he wanted. We didn't get any information sent home (not unusual for his teacher) and I wondered if it was that night and we were going to miss it. But Peyton's teacher sent home a flier and it was coming the following week. It turns out Brett's school also was having an open house that night. So, Tate and I made a plan to get everyone dinner and out the door to make it to two open houses across town from one another. The afternoon of the open house Jackson wanted to know who was coming. I told him mommy, daddy and his brothers. "No!!! EVERYONE has to come. My teacher said everyone could come and I could invite anyone I wanted," Jackson said close to tears. He was so crushed when I told him I didn't realize that and it might be too late for anyone else to make it. But, Grandma, Granddad and Grammy were great sports and jumped at the invitation even though they only had a few hours notice. The boys loved showing off their classrooms, friends and teachers to the family.

Brett was so excited about us visiting his school he could not contain himself. He loves school. He showed everyone how he accesses the computer, the toys he plays with, where he does circle time and the bean plant he is growing. Jackson was a great tour guide and showed off all of the centers in his classroom.
Here's Brett so excited as we get him in his chair in the parking lot:

Here's Jackson showing me how he solves mysteries. He was a great tour guide and enjoyed showing the family all the centers in his classroom.

Peyton gave a quick tour and enjoyed playing with his brothers at the water table and in the "pond" he made with his classmates.

 In case you are wondering if we had a good time here is a picture of the family created by Jackson:
