Friday Four (Because I Can't Think of Five)

This week was report card week. The boys each did fairly well for himself. Jack's strength is definitely in reading. (Long gone are the days of pretending a show he wanted to watch isn't on tv. The kid can read the guide now. Sigh.) Jason's strength was also in reading. Shawn's strength is in social studies and science this time.

Way to go, boys!

Jack had a bit of an upset tummy and digestive track this week. He ended up with a touch of diarrhea and all of the fun that it entails. I think this experience must have been a first for him--and let me say, he DID NOT like the situation at all. Poor guy. lol

Last night, the boys and I got to put on a little talent show in Jack's room. Jack had decked his room all out in preparation. He had a sheet backdrop for the stage, a spotlight, and even his microphone. We all had to perform in the spotlight. Too funny!

A certain youngest child has a birthday coming up next week! How can it be that our baby is going to be SIX?! It was just yesterday that he was born!

Shawn and Jason have been really good about brainstorming some gift ideas for Jack. I think they did a great job with it, too!

Little Friends?

Jack cracked me up the other day. He insisted on playing with a plastic spoon and fork we had gotten with some take out food. Not long after, he asked for a marker and produced these:

And then he proceeded to play with his new friends. Lol!

Mostly Wordless Wednesday

Someone wasn't feeling very well today, so he climbed up on mama and took a little nap. ❤

Super Proud

Today Jay came home from school and announced his reading range is now up to 9.3 (9th grade, 3rd month)! That is 6 whole reading levels about his grade level. We are super proud of all of his hard work! Way to go, Jay!

Ahoy, Matey!

Anchors away, my friends!

Mr. Chef

"Jack I am."

"Would you like some green eggs and ham?"

I think he really liked Dr. Seuss week at school. :)

Life with Jack

Scene:

Jack was outside playing by himself. I watched him drag all of the outside chairs over so they faced the trampoline. He placed a ball on the seat of every single chair. He fussed and organized things for a few minutes before he flew to the door and came charging inside.

"I've got to get my tie!" he breathed as he passed.

Sure enough, the boy returned with a tie clipped to his shirt. Then he went outside and put on a "show" for his audience of balls by jumping on the trampoline. It was quite a sight, too!

He is SUCH a character!
