Words to live by
If it is to be, it is up to me.
Stephen got to talk to his Grandma on the phone the other night. He pressed his ear so close to the phone and his eyes lit up. Yay for Grandma phone calls!
The boys getting ready for the day. They chase each other in circles through the kitchen, dining room and living room nearly every morning. I love how full of life the mornings are with their running around.
When did it become such a big deal to celebrate the 100th day of the school year?
Wyatt counted out paper clips and we used scotch tape to put them on his homework paper.
This is Wyatt in his "office". He refused breakfast the other morning because "I have to get to work, mom."
Two of my friends are touring with Sesame Street's Can't Stop Singing. The show recently stopped in Kansas City and my friends hooked us up with a couple of tickets.
The boys were so excited to meet Elmo and Ernie.
Some of the characters came out to sing and dance in the lobby before the show.
Wyatt danced. Jack flat out refused to dance. I asked if he would bounce with me. His response?
"I don't bounce."
My favorite is OSCAR!
So everyone except Dad has been sick at our house. I came down with a nasty sinus infection. The boys were out of school for a week with fevers, John contracted the Flu B, Stephen had RSV and Mom has had one thing after another in the land of chasing colds. Here are the boys sharing some sofa time during their week home from school. Jack was quite upset when he realized he still had homework. He also let me know it wasn't fair because he never has "THAT MUCH" homework. He couldn't understand that it wasn't just homework, it was a week's worth of schoolwork - that his classmates kept working while he was sweating it out on the sofa playing wii, go fish or watching iCarly. Poor kid.
My father-in-law gave this amaryllis to me for Christmas. I gave it a little water and she took over the house. I would come home each day and be SHOCKED at how much she had grown. It got to the point where I thought she was going to kill us as we slept.
Audrey did not kill us and she was stunning when she bloomed.
I like to drop in for lunch with the boys when my schedule allows. The kinders can get rather rowdy.
The students are asked to help clean the tables after lunch. This was the first time I ever saw Jack participate. I have a few things for him to clean up at home!
I couldn't help sneaking into the Kinder room and taking a quick peek at Wyatt's desk. He didn't like that I was 'sneaking' on him and told me I had to ask his teacher if I wanted to sneak into his classroom.
