This last week has been about preparing Jonathan for his Freshman year! We had our own Fish Camp at our house. It was mostly about having fun as a family and gearing up for the big day.
We always introduce a new theme and usually forget all about it about a month into the school year. This year, I printed it off and framed it, so hopefully we can keep it top of mind! Last night, we said that our 2014-2015 theme is going to be "Pure Christlike love flowing from righteousness can change the world" by Jeffrey R. Holland. We talked about what this meant to us and how we can apply this theme to our daily lives.
I left prizes on the mantle for Jonathan each morning. Sometimes there was a bonus prize for Jessie, too. The prizes were all kinds of things like a new watch, new water bottle, candy and a gift card. Just little stuff to get Jonathan excited about being a Freshman. Jonathan's favorite prize? Jolly Rancher popsicles. Yuck!
Saturday, we had to run a few last minute errands and stopped for some wings. I have to admit that I think wings are disgusting. Jonathan likes the wings without the bone, but here he is tackling some wings with the bone in. He looks a little possessed and scary! We had a nice fun and relaxed afternoon before the crazy school year starts.
Then, on Sunday, we all took care of our ALS ice buck challenges. It was cold to say the least, but we did it! So glad we can mark that project as done, plus it was super fun to do it as a family! We also made treats for all of our Independence High School fellow freshmen. Jonathan and I went around town delivering treats to all of our friends. So much fun!
When it was all said and done Jonathan was relaxed and ready to begin his High School career. Too bad Mom wasn't ready.
