Friday Five
For all I know, picture taking this week was a success! lol. Everyone assured me they had smiled. We shall see what we get when they come in. I'm curious to know if Jack continued the less than stellar pictures tradition. ;)
~~~
Jack lost his sixth tooth this week. (The day after pictures.) He actually lost the tooth at school, which I think is even more impressive! The Tooth Fairy was very kind and brought another gold coin for Jack to enjoy.
~~~
The big boys are loving their teacher this year, and I have to say that I am impressed with how she is building the community in her classroom. She also uses a program called Cl.ass. D.oj.o (without the periods) to give the kids points as positive feedback for their behavior. They later get to trade in their points for prizes from the class store. Both boys think it is awesome! Plus, it is nice because I can keep track of their behavior from home. :)
~~~
In his (their) never ending quest to kill me, Jack managed to knee me in the chin this week. It was innocent enough; I was tickling him when I turned just as he jerked to get away. I swear that kid is S.O.L.I.D. I may have even saw a few stars. lol Anyway, I now have a pretty bruise to show for it. Just another battle wound of a boy mom, I guess.
~~~
We're hoping for awesome weather next weekend, as the big boys get the chance to go...wait for it...surfing! They'll get wet suits and have their own personal coach and everything. I am so excited for them! It should be really fun!

Conversations With 8 Year Olds
Him: "Mom, I keep trying to practice my British accent. Yeah, it's not really working. I think I have too much American in me...I think I'm like 99% American and only maybe 1% British. I think I have to practice more so I can be more British."
Me: "... Um, okay then."
