50 in a Minute

In the boys homework folder they have to do 50 math problems. They are timed for a minute to see how far they can get, the goal being to get to the end. Last week Beck got to the end for the first time. He was so excited, he saved the paper. Yesterday that is all the boys wanted to do. They made their own race out of it and both finished 3 out or the 4 times. I love how excited they get when they get something. 
 Camden, in true Nickels' fashion, had to have his tongue out. It helped him go faster. 
There are few days where the boys are best friends. They get along most of the time, but every once in a while they work together to get things done. This morning was one of those days. They were making their lunches and decided that Beck would take the Skittles for a treat and Cam would take the brownie and they could share them at lunch. Beckham came up with what he thought was the best plan. He said, "Lets find somewhere to sit alone, just us and we can watch the sunrise and eat." No idea how or why he said that, but Cam loved the idea. Too bad lunch is at 12 and there aren't too many windows in the cafeteria.
