Bloomsday 2013

This was Jamie's first Bloomsday!

Jacob's Destiny

So I asked Jacob if he wanted to take a bath (instead of a shower)...he said yes making it abundantly clear that there were To be NO BUBBLES!!

He ran downstairs, then back up and into the bathroom: "ITS MY DESTINY TO BE NAKED...AND TAKE A BATH... AND PUT MY FACE IN THE WATER!!"

Huh???
Oh...

The first day of school

 

 I can't believe my sweet little girl is in the 4th grade! Yikes!

She's looks so mature with her glasses...don't you think?

 

Josh is working on his simile with two fresh missing teeth!

 

No teeth in this one... a more serious look!

The kids both had a great first day of school! Josh says his teacher is really funny and Jamie has one of her friends' mom as a teacher! 

Jacob will start Kindergarten next week... he can't wait! I have to admit... having every morning to myself is totally appealing!

 

Harry Potter much?

As the kids and I were picking up the kitchen after dinner I turned around to see Jacob running through the kitchen, broom between his legs, shouting

"I have to get the golden snitch!"

I laughed out loud at that one.

Super Heroes

Batman.

Spiderman.

Wolverine.

Captain Hook.

Optimus Prime.

5 boys super heroes. 

On a mission... to create some ruckus and torment some big sisters.

Eliot and Josh getting ready.

One down...

Careful... big sisters fight back! Nice block Jamie Sue!

Jacob (Batman), Josh (Captain Hook), Owen (Wolverine), Jay? (Spiderman) and Eliot (Optimus Prime)

Batman wasn't too in on the action.

GRRRRRRR!!!!

Total Action shot!

 

Mission accomplished.

Josh had so much fun he decided to write about it at school...

Over spring break I went to Eliot's House. We played super heroes out side in his tree house.

First we ate lunch the we played Wii we played Super Mario.

Next we played more Wii we played Super Mario brothers. Then we went to his tree house we had a meeting.

Then we played inside.

My favorite part was playing super heroes.

 

Another one bites the dust...

So yesterday Josh lost another tooth. 

We are up to 5 now! 

Craig tried to pull it with him the other night, but it (Josh) wasn't ready yet.

 So when he woke up yesterday morning he decided to pull it!

Nice job buddy!

Teacher Appreciation Week

I got this great idea from... 

wait for it... 

I'm really short on time this week and so I didn't want something too crafty that would make me stay up late at night...
This is what I came up with.

These are so cute and "springy".
I got the cups for 4.99 and then filled them with a few packets of Crystal Light in a variety of flavors.

How cute is that?!?

I found the printables for the flags here

Who says Pinterest is totally unproductive?
