Michael’s Facebook
Michael is busy making his own facebook. It's just that. A construction paper book of different faces he fancies to draw or make in other creative ways (one is a silhouette he cut out). I just love my kid!
Mom’s been doing her job.
Michael's just full of those one liners lately... Since I shot a wedding on Sunday, I spent most of yesterday working on the photos. He's grown accustom to some computer time each day, but there wasn't any until I got burned out in the afternoon. So when Kevin came home, the boys were on the computer, Joey was taking his afternoon nap, and I was sorta asleep on the couch. Kevin asked Michael what they did today and he said, "Mom's been doing her job." I explained to Michael earlier today that since I just shot a wedding I'd be busy working on photos for a little bit, because that's my job, and that I'd need his help while I worked to stay out of trouble and help Aiden out. …
Did you get in trouble?
So yesterday I picked up Kevin from work, he got in the car and I noticed he has something on his cheek and wiped it off. He said, "It's probably saw dust." Huh??? How does a "professional geek" get saw dust on himself at work? Well I asked, probably more with a quizzical look and cock of the head than anything verbal, and he said, "I was moving workstations, and I drilled a hole in my desk." So Michael pipes up from the backseat "Did you get in trouble?" As usual, it took me too long to put two and two together, then it took a few minutes to stop giggling as I explained that it was OK for Daddy to drill holes in his desk, because he had permission,…
Last Day of School & Prayer Request, Please
Today was Michael's last day of Kindergarten. We decided after talking with Michael's teacher that it would be best to decline summer school. He actually did very well with his grades other than his social grades, which we were fully aware would be a problem. So until 1st grade starts this fall, we're all together all day (other than Daddy who thankfully goes to work to take care of us). We're really looking forwards to this. So, today was a half day, surprise! Somehow, in all of the paperwork that's been sent home, and a reminder call from the school about something else that I hung up on once I realized it was about something I knew about, and very possibly reminded parents it was an early out day, I…
What a Weekend
Nothing big going on. I haven't even had a chance to upload the pics from Friday and Saturday, let alone look them over or post some. Friday the little boys and I went to Michael's preschool graduation. It was a rough day by way of Mommies, but I think Michael had a nice time. I'm still planning on posting a new post about that soon. Saturday we went to IKEA to spend out stimulus check, or at least a portion of it. I've had my eye on dinning room benches for some time, and I didn't get the ones I'd wanted (those ones were $250 a piece! Youch!) I got some that will do the job nicely and go in the style direction we like. We'll be tossing our current…
Silly Words
OK, I guess I need to bump down the snails. Haha, sorry to anyone who thought they're gross. I guess when you have all brothers and sons... Yesterday as I was nursing Joey while laying on my bed facing the wall opposite my bathroom and bedroom door, I hear in a sing song voice behind me, "Poopy Diaper! Poopy Diaper!" I didn't hear Aiden come in so it was a big surprise. I turned around and he was sitting on the potty waiting for a little mommy help. Heard in the middle of the night~ Kevin to Joey "Sorry, I don't have Mommary glands." From Michael in the back seat on the way home from school. "All the kids are bad at school, and it is a big problem, so…
To Do’s and QOTD
Quote Of The Day (QOTD), well actually yesterday. Yesterday I was looking at flowers with my boys. Whenever we do this Michael asks what this or that is. He pointed to some small flowers that I don't know, that looked very wild. M~ "What kind are these?" I said, "those are wild flowers." Then we went on looking about at the different flowers. Out of the blue, M~ "Are wild flowers for wild people?" Me, giggling like mad cause I know at least a few people heard him, and cause it was SO cute, I gave him a huge hug, and said, "No, Wild Flowers just means that they're a kind of flower that grows by itself in nature or the wild." M~ "Ooooh!" Sometimes it's easy to forget that…
Summer School
So here I was counting down, 12 days of school, until I didn't have to haul Aiden to and from the car, several times a day, every day, at least for a few months, and when we could tackle some fun family projects while we're all home, and then it's sprung on me. Michael requires Summer School... :( His grades are OK, but his social grades aren't, and I guess that was reason enough for the school to make this executive decision about my child... So now he's going to school the whole month of June. 20 more days... Same hours accept they let out a half hour early every day... In some ways I'm very irritated, it feels very sprung on me, I was making plans for in two…
Guess what this is?
A game? A chart??? It's a "happiness schedule," ROFLOL! Michael handed it to me this morning as he haphazardly cleaned out his backpack on the way to school...
The BIG birthday!
My little boy is now 6, and my hubby is now 29!!! Yesterday was a VERY busy day. In the morning I couldn't sleep anymore once 6:30 rolled around, I was so excited for my boys. They didn't share my enthusiasm so much, at least not that early. We dropped off the big boys, and the little boys and I went birthday shopping. We got Michael one of those giant balls that he's had his eye on for some time, a track, like a pine wood derby track but for matchbox/hotwheels, and some clothes. We got home to chill for a little while and then went to pick up the cake and take it to Michael's class. That was a blast! It was so fun to be in his class…
