Kaitlynn's Weekend with Tex

Kaitlynn's kindergarten class has a class pet, Tex, and she's been telling me all about him over the months. Each weekend, the students take turns taking Tex home and sharing some fun adventures. Then, the kids will share some photos and sentences about their time with Tex. Kaitlynn is not the most patient child (far from it), so she has been anxiously awaiting her turn with Tex. Finally, that time arrived. When I walked to meet the kids from school one afternoon last month, Kaitlynn greeted me with the hugest smile and squeal. Tex was coming over for a visit!

In my haste to hear all about her excitement with Tex, I forgot to snap good pictures. But we tried to make up for it throughout our weekend. We made plans for Tex's stay, including a dinner out together, a fun project, and of course, some playtime outside. Nothing extravagant, but Tex made it all special!

Tex took a ride on Connor's remote controlled car.

The fun project that Kaitlynn wanted to share with Tex was for her 100th day of school that was coming up in a couple of weeks. Kaitlynn and I were going to make a t-shirt with 100 objects, so we took Tex along with us to shop for supplies. It was a really fun project together, but I'll have to save the finished product for another post! ;-)

When it was time to say goodbye to Tex, we printed some pictures with Tex and Kaitlynn had to write a little story about her time together. She was very sad to see him go!
