Cute Big Boy Saturday

We went glasses shopping for the big boys today. Jack couldn't resist trying out a pair himself. He looked too cute!

The big boys' glasses come in a few weeks. They'll have their big reveal then. :)

Friday Five

Mid trimester grades came out today, and both big boys are doing well. Yay! Go boys!

~~~

On Wednesday, Jason informed me that he no longer wanted to use his pencil grip at school because he wants to be like everyone else. So, I asked him how he'd feel if we got pencil grips for everyone in his class. He was all for it! Now he gets to give out pencil grips to his classmates, and they'll all have better writing to boot. :)

I measure Jack yesterday. He is now 46.75" tall. This puts him solidly in the 99th percentile. Whoa. He is in a growth spurt right now. He just feels bigger all of a sudden.

Jason isn't feeling well today. He's congested and has a fever. Fingers crossed that is isn't another sinus infection. Sigh.

Word on the street is that Shawn has himself a girl friend. She's a pretty devoted girl friend at that. lol. Plus, our boy seems to know how to play the game. He's been known to feign hearing loss so she'll lean in and whisper directly into his ear. Can you believe that?! LOL

Now, mind you, I need to make it clear that while she may be devoted to him, our boy is definitely keeping his options open. He's got two other girl friends in the wings!

Conversations With 8 Year Olds

Jason was walking into the living room...

Me: Jay, what do you think we should make grandma for Mother's Day?

Him: Wait. Isn't she YOUR mother?

Lol. We have since decided on something to make for grandma. He's excited about it, too. ;)

Mostly Wordless Wednesday - Tall Enough

Tall enough to push the cart and barely see over the handle...

Or should I say old enough?

But still young enough the suck his thumb while doing it. ;)

Tell Me How You Really Feel, Kid

I'm not sure he needs to actually say any words to get his meaning across with this look...

Cracks me up!

Doesn't Help the Situation

I am not a morning person. I never have been, really, and I stay in bed until I absolutely have to get up. This translates to me runninn around in the morning trying to make it to work without being (too) late.

Shawn's new morning ritual definitely does not help matters. He loves getting in bed with me for his own special snuggle. Of course I have to oblige him. How can I resist such cuteness?

Appreciated

Here's what the boys are taking to school for Teacher Appreciation Week, and no, it isn't pizza toppings. They're taking a note and a $5 gift card. :)
