Not Your Usual Cute Big Boy Saturday

So.

Today is Cute Big Boy Saturday, and I usually post a picture of the boys doing something cute. 

Except.

While the boys were as cute as normal, I haven't been feeling very well. That translated to a lack of picture thing because lying horizontal and taking pictures don't exactly mix. Sigh.

Then.

When in the past I might have just looked back through my thousands of pictures and posted a type of throw back Cute Baby Saturday picture, that is not possible at the moment because my poor hard drive has taken a turn for the worse after an unfortunate rendezvous between my laptop and the floor this week.

Well.

I guess I could draw you something...

But to be honest, I am not a very talented artist. 

Nothing.

Sadly that takes us full circle. Today is Cute Big Boy Saturday and I shall have to leave you wanting until my body and the couch are no longer best buddies and my head doesn't feel as if it will explode at any given moment. 

Hopefully that will be soon (tomorrow would be nice) because the whole sick thing gets old super fast. 

And, most importantly, I'd rather my head not really explode. I'm kind of attached to it and all. ;)

Friday Five

One of Jack's new favorite nursery rhymes is Humpty Dumpty. It's kind of funny to watch him align various "Humpties" on various "walls" before he makes them fall to their unavoidable doom. It's also pretty entertaining to watch him rescue said Humpty Dumpties from their unfortunate accidents. LOL

While outside today, Isaac asked the boys, "Who wants to come in now?"

Without missing a beat, Shawn replied, "Jason does!" Ha! Jasn didn't find the exchange nearly as funny as I did.

During an outdoor rock collecting expedition in the backyard, the boys were gathering their rocks. Jack had a number of rocks that were smooth and round which he added to his growing pile. At one point, however, he found a rock that was darker and different from the rest. He picked it up, studied it for a minute, and said, "Huh. Dinosaur poop." before he chucked it over his shoulder and moved on. Too funny!

Shawn wrote a paragraph about me at school today:

"I love to have fun with my mom. My mom and I like to go to the grocery store. We like to stay home. We like to recycle together. My mom is amazing."

How would that not put a smile on my face? :)

Jason has started playing with Lego play sets and mini figures, or MiniFigs, as Jay calls them. He is particularly fond of the cops and robbers mini figures because of their accessories--a crowbar, handcuffs, money, and a safe. lol. He sets up the figures all over the house.

I got a box of extra figures a few weeks ago. Every so often, I'll add a new figure into his bag of toys. It is hilarious listening to him find a new one and wonder where the heck it came from. He's asked up over and over again if we know where they are coming from, but we deny knowing anything. Too funny!

What?

The boy LOVES lemons. LOVES them. :)

Mostly Wordless Wednesday - Hip Hop Boy!

Jason rocked out during his class's hip hop dance this afternoon! He was so good! :)

The kids danced to three different songs. It was pretty impressive to watch, especially when you consider they had only practiced for the last three Wednesdays! They all did really well and were very excited about the performance.

Sadly, Shawn didn't get to dance today. It had somehow worked out that he had missed the practices because he was sick those days. :( 

Shopping Fun

My Best Friend, a Composition

My Best Friend

If my best friend Emily would spend the summer with me we would do lots of things. First, we would go to the store. Second, we'd go to recess. Lastly, we would go to the park. I love Emily.
