Superheros

Look out all you bad guys, 

there's a (couple) new superheroes in town!

Posers

Here's slight compilation of all the "posing" going around at my house...







 




 
 

Thomas's inventions

Our Thomas has a definite inventor's brain.  Here are just a few of his recent inventions:

A homemade piggy bank:

With a sticky-taped bottom for a "secure" deposit.

Except when the little brother peels it off. 

And I can't remember exactly what this was supposed to be, but I do believe it was a projectile of some sort.

And I hope this next invention doesn't indicate any future collegiate habits...

 

And don't even ask me what this one is - cause I have no idea.  

 

But it IS battery operated, 

 

and might be used for personal grooming...

Which makes sense to me....

Especially if you have ever tried to comb Tom's hair...

When you can't sleep

This little gal...

Yep, this one right here...

...comes up with the most extraordinary reasons for not going to bed.  I am amazed at how creative/imaginative she is with her excuses.  Since she is definitely our stay-up-late, sleep-in-late kid, she finds it hard to go to bed at 8:00 with her brothers.  She stays awake for several hours, often calling to us about some emergency or other.

 So, I am going to keep a running list of her emergency excuses for not going to sleep - just so she knows, when she is all grown up and sophisticated, what a cute little stinker she was.

Let's start off with this week:

1. My bed is on fire.
2. I have blood in my mouth. (She was coming to grips with Thomas' revelation that there is blood all through your body.)
3. I can't find my belly button.
4. There's a frog in my bed.

Last Day of School (and a very merry Un-birthday!)

A whole school year has gone by.  

I know!

How in the world did that happen already?

Here is our Thomas on the first day of kindergarten:

 

 And on the last:

And there was much rejoicing when he got home...

Literally.

Like.... we had a party

With presents and cake and everything...

Cause that's the way Grandma Christine rolls...

So, here's wishing you a very merry "Un-birthday"

and summer...

To You!
