Young Authors Tea

This year Caden was one of three second grade students chosen to read his creative writing stories at an "Authors Tea" tonight. He was very excited since his brother Jacob had this same opportunity last year when Jacob was in second grade. Jacob was a little upset that mom was going to the tea this year. Last year the Tea was on March 8th (the day his younger sister was born- Lets just say mom was a little busy) Caden however was very excited to have mom there to listen to his story about his two dinosaur friends Brian and Daniel ( his real best friend's names.) It was a cute story about how he keeps the dinosaurs at his house and plays with them. They eat sushi and worms and go to school with him. We are so proud of our GREAT YOUNG AUTHOR!

We got trouble on our hands!

Last Monday Caden was in charge of the refreshment for Family Home Evening. He wanted to make sugar cookies and decorate them with Valentine sprinkes. After making the cookies we ended up with extra frosting. For the next two days Caden would sneek in to the fridge and get a finger full. Well on one such occasion he almost got caught when I came walking into the room. He quickly put the frosting on a shelf (without the lid on it) grabed a orange and closed the door as he walked away. Little did he know that the door had not shut all the way. Karley had been watching him and wanted her share of the frosting. I start making dinner while she goes over to the fridge. I swear it was only three or four second before I discovered what she was up too and look at the the mess she had made in that time. If she can already figure out how to get in to the chocolate, we are are going to be in big trouble.

Here is Caden reading a portion of his story at the Tea.
