Cute Big Boy Saturday

He had a bump on his head. (We have no idea from where.) He insisted this made it better.

He had me put it on yesterday afternoon and wore it until it would stick no more. Lol!

Friday Five

It was 5 years ago this week that I decided to do a 30 day blog challenge. The point was to post something every day for a month. The month came and went, and I kept posting. Then I decided to see how long I could post every day.

And, well...here we are some 1825 days later, and I'm still posting every day. The boys' blog now has something like 2220 memories recorded for them to relive one day. Wow!

~~~

We have 13 more school days until summer vacation, and I'd be lying if I didn't say we are all really looking forward to the end of this year.

I asked the boys if they have anything fun coming up, and I was reminded that at some unknown point in time they'll be performing in a play. Jason is torn between wanting and not wanting it to happen. Shawn is a definite "no" on the wanting it to happen thing. This may be an interesting play. lol

This week, Jason noticed that Jack is only a little bit shorter than another kid in his 2nd grade class. That and the fact that Jack has been eating us out of home this month, made me think it was time to see how tall he's getting. I last measured his height on the 5th of this month; only 20 days later, he is up 3/4 of an inch! That explains so much. lol. Jack is now 47.5 inches tall, which, according to babycenter.com, if he continues on this growth pattern, may lead to one tall young man on 6'4". Holy cow! Our Tank is a biggun'!

Him: "Mom, do you know what a wedgie is?"

Me: "I sure do. What me to show you?"

Him: "Okay...no, wait!!!!!"

Lol. He caught on to the meaning quick! Then we discussed the meaning of "atomic wedgies" and "murfs." He is now well versed in this area. ;);) 

(P.S. No child was harmed in this demonstration! Sheesh.)

Last weekend, Shawn decided he wanted to do some crafting. I gave him some options, and he chose to do something with beads. He ended up making a bead bracelet for his aide at school. He was very meticulous about it, something that isn't exactly Shawn's style on this kind of thing, but he was quite pleased with the end result. Then he wrote her a note. It was so cute!

He's Ready!

We were outside playing for a few minutes before Jack decided he was hungry and set up a snack area. Lol

It took a banana, grapes, and a handful of graham crackers to satisfy him! 

Mostly Wordless Wednesday

We finished Harry Potter! Woohoo!

Writing Time

Write a story about this picture.

The bannana Trouble

Once upon a time a monkey fell off a tree. Then a monkey helped him. They get the monkey the bannana. The monkeys rest. The monkeys drive away. The monkeys drive to the airport and fly to Mexico. They moved in a forest. There were many bannana trees. "I love this place" one of the monkeys said. "Me too!" said the other. THE END

A Monkey

My name is Alejandro. I have a pet monkey named Mandy. We like to play the animal game. Mandy made a mess of leaves on the floor. Alejandro cleaned up the mess. They played in the leaves first. Uh-oh. Alejandro forgot to clean the pile of leaves. Then they had to go potty.

LOL! Love how different their ideas are!

Mud!

Yesterday I let the boys go to town with dirt and some water. It didn't take long before hey were all covered from head to toe in mud. Lol. They had a blast!

Jay was especially thrilled!

Farmin' Again

We're a little later than I wanted to do it, but we finally got a chance to plant. This year's crops: artichokes, carrots, tomatoes, and watermellon. We shall see how it goes. Lol

Wish us luck!
