Mrs. Benitez is Zachary's teacher this year. He was very excited to find his desk with his name on it. |

One of the lego games we played. Had the kids suck up legos with a straw and put them in cups. Only had 1 min to get as many as they can in the cup. It was fun watching them and nobody hyperventilated.. |

I had a bunch of different candy and treats on the table. Lucas disappeared there for a while and this is where we found him...eating candy under the table. Sneaky! |
