Birthday Boy

Benson's mom joined us this morning to read an awesome book about pirates!





We read, "Harold and the Purple Crayon" and  came up with our own purple crayon adventures.
Jacob created a party for Tayte.



Leah took a trip to the moon where she saw Earth and a star! 


C.C's purple crayon would keep grasshoppers, moths and butterflies from getting lost.



 Happy Birthday Tayte.  Your cupcake birthday treat was yummy!
