Words to live by
If it is to be, it is up to me.

(This what I like to call a Lee Press-on Tattoo. It is a pig's head. Who thinks "And for Valentine's Day temporary kid tattoos, let's do a pig's head! Yeah! The kids will LOVE that!"?)
Jack likes to call this "Dancin' Underwear Boy"
And since Jack is "Underwear Boy" Wy of course needs to be "Dancin' Pajama Boy"

So I called Wyatt Tom Cruise when I walked in and found him struttin' his stuff in his shirt and sox. He did not like being called Tom Cruise. "VAT IS NOT MY NAME".
The boys have started running around with their own version of this...
My favorites:
Jack: My name is EBENEEZER, you killed my father. Pre-pare to die!
Wyatt: Diesel 10, you killed my father. Prepare to die!
Noah brought his fam in for a day visit yesterday. The boys went WILD. All day long it was "Is Noah here yet?" "Where is Noah?" "WHEN will he GET here?" When he finally showed up we let the boys run out on the deck where they stood there jumping up and down with excitement. Once Noah was in the house it was non-stop fun. They were running, playing, jumping, eating, eating, eating. I made chocolate chip cookies - and you won't believe this but I made them with a stick and a half of butter. Those were some good cookies, people. MMMMM. Just ask Noah - he managed to create chocolate chip cookie lipstick with his cookie.

more soon.
Love and blessigns,
the gang
To celebrate their 100th day of Kindergarden, the kinders created a 100 page. They each brought in 100 of something (seeds, cut up straws, pennies, cheerios, cotton balls etc.) and they each put together 10 groups of 10 to glue onto their papers. I heard from the teacher that most everything fell off the papers as some of the kids didn't actually use glue. Some things fell off because they didn't use enough glue and then things fell off in the kids' bags just from being jostled around. I opened Jack's bag and found a puddle of cut up straws and a handful of buttons...
If I ever wind up in jail it is because I kidnapped this little cutie. She is adorable and just the sweetest little thing I have ever met.

This young man has the energy than the sun.

The kids fought and fought for my attention and the opportunity to pose for the camera. "Jack's mom! Over here! Jack's mom! Jack's MOOOOOM"!"

And last but not least, Jack and I helped this young lady when we played Spelling Bingo at the Valentine party.
