Last night we were at Kate Sessions Elementary for "Back To School Night" and it proved to be non-stop fun from start to finish. We all had a great time and enjoyed being with Jack while he showed us his school!!!
Rubio's catered dinner and we all enjoyed our chicken tacos and chips and salsa while talking with other KSE families.
We had our dinner here in the outdoor lunch arbor -- the place where Jack has lunch every day with his "lunch bunch" (a group of boys that were all together last year in class but are all in different classes this year.)!!!
After dinner we headed into Room 10 -- Mrs. Kenyon's 2nd Grade!
Jack's classroom is so warm and welcoming and I know that this is a place that Jack's loves to be and enjoys learning here!!!
Jack gave us a tour of his classroom and showed us all the work that the kids have been doing and all the great things they are learning about.
Here is our 2nd grader sitting at his desk!!!
He really wanted us to see the "word wall!"
We also got to met the class "pets"!!!Yes, that is a tarantula!!
(She has a name but I can't remember what it is -- oops!)
And here are the lizards!"Cookie" and "Cream"!!!
Jack and Nick both love the lizards!
At the beginning of the year Mrs. Kenyon had the kids draw a self portrait and then write a letter to the class introducing themselves.Here is our Jack!!!
And here is a close up of his letter. I had to share this because as I read this last night I had tears in my eyes and I'm just so proud of my boy!!! He is a joy and he sure knows how to make a Mom beam with pride!!! Take a moment to read it -- I know I'm a lot bias but I think it's super cute and sweet!!!Totally Jack!!!
After we were done in the classroom Jack wanted to show us some of the other places that he spends time at while in school.Our first stop the Library!!
(Any surprises there? If you know Jack you know he loves to read so it should come as no surprise that our first stop was the library!!)
I think this is just a sweet, cute little library!!
Happy Birthday Jack!!!
This morning Jack told me that I needed to "fix Nick's hair". I asked Jack "WHY?"
Jack said "Because he has show offs this morning!"
Oh how my boys make me laugh!!!
We went to Bates Nut Farm to spend the day............ 
in the pumpkin patch!!!
Looking for the perfect pumpkins to carve into Jack-o-lanterns this Halloween!
and finally found three perfect pumpkins to bring home!
The boys enjoyed the farm and all the fun things they got to do!
And running around the straw maze looking for the 8 stamps was great fun!
The tractor ride through the fields was a huge hit!!!
And playing in the rows of corn was lots of fun!
We had a great day on the farm and enjoyed the Southern California "fall weather"!!
After dinner we headed into Room 10 -- Mrs. Kenyon's 2nd Grade!

After we were done in the classroom Jack wanted to show us some of the other places that he spends time at while in school.
Jack was so excited to show me where he finds "all the dinosaur books"!!!
And while Jack showed me where the dino books are located, Nick rearranged the carpet mats in perfect groups!! 
Then we got to see the computer lab...........
the Spanish classroom................
and the Art Room!!!
