3.23.13 - One of the Many Wigglies..

...finally comes out!
He has been wiggling this tooth for at least a month.
Tonight a friend tells him she knows of a good way to
get a tooth out and there he stood while she threw a pillow
at his face...IT WORKED!  When we asked him if
he'd let her do it that way again he said no way!

3.19.13 - Are We There Yet?

...and the packing continues

3.18.13 - Learning With Him

Jalen's homework was to bring in a fact about

St. Patty's Day.  Of course we visited google

and learned this day is not just about celebrating

irish heritage, wearing green and drinking 

beer.  It actually has christian based 

heritage...google it.

Jalen's fact was the clover represents

the triune God...how cool is that!

This brought a whole new meaning to 

St Patty's Day for me.

3.17.13 - Just a Little Sunday Evening Fun...

...catching up with old friends.

3.15.13 - Busy Building a Trap

A trap for what you ask?

A leprechaun of course!

...and the photo shoot is over.  One decent photo and two 

that provide a glimpse into her personality are even better.

3.13.13 - Best Cookies Ever

Great, Great, Great Grandma Anne's 

oatmeal chocolate chip cookies

3.12.13 - Vacuum Or Watchdog

Both...she is great at watching the floor for any scraps and 

then cleaning up after each meal.  Too bad she can't get 

the ones that get dropped on her.

3.11.13 - Interesting...What's This Jalen?

He swore they were monster muscles but we still had 

a little chat about what they could be and what is ok to

draw and not ok. The best statement he made was "mom, I

don't even know what those look like so how could I draw them?"

Oh the joy of parenting!

3.10.13 - Celebrating Auntie A

3.9.13 - Pretending Their At the Beach

Florida is less than a month away...so we took the morning to see

3.7.13 - You've Gotta Have a Clean Face!

A Mama's gotta do what a Mama's gotta do.

WARNING: high pitch squeal can be alarming!

3.4.13 - So Proud

Doing well at home and school...our little guy

is excelling.  The favorite part of Jalen's conference was when

his teacher told us about his positive leadership.  He loves math 

and she said he'll often say things like "YES!! We get

to do math!" and others follow his excitement.  So

besides loosing recess for throwing snowballs his energy

is creating positive classroom momentum!

3.3.13 - Tea Party Time

Ty is teaching Lauren all about Tea Parties.  All these

girl toys are played with by the boys just as much as Lauren.

I had to grab a shot of Ty feeding Lauren's baby.

3.2.13 - Still Standing...

...but getting starting to fad.  These are by far the longest

lasting flowers I've ever received.  They are from Valentines Day!
