My Monkey Boy!

By -

I know that a lot of schools may have already gone back already & some may not start for a little while longer. Adam's first day in the 4th grade is tomorrow. It's exciting and kind of sad at the same time. On the one hand, I'll be thankful to get back into some form of routine. I've had a really difficult summer & I fell like the kids (all 4 of them) have just bulldozed me. And, let's face it...One less kid at home is...well, one less kid.

On the other hand, Adam is a really good kid. Yes, he drives me crazy, and I feel like I'm always telling him to be nicer to his sisters. But, he really is a sweet boy. I know that he loves his sisters, and sometimes he is very helpful & loving toward them. I know the girls will miss him while he is at school. We all will.

Here's a video of Adam & Mia. I'm pretty sure he was in Kindergarten. Isn't he just the cutest thing?

This was at Adam's Kindergarten graduation. The song is cute, but Adam goofing off in the beginning is the best. He's just so full of energy.

oh adam, what a ham.
My friend's kids went back to school yesterday and her post (on her blog) was entitled.

"Shhhhhhhh....
can you hear that? Silence."

She's got 5 boys and 1 girl, so it gets VERY rough and loud over there.

tehehehe. i can't believe adam's in 4th grade already! When i taught primary, i taught the 2nd graders, and THEY seemed huge!

GOODLUCK ADAM. You'll do great.

Chuck E. Cheese...Yay!??!

I decided to suck-it-up and take the family to Chuck E. Cheese for Allison's birthday. In AZ, the kids really liked going to Peter Piper Pizza for pizza & games. We've been here 2 years, and I've managed NOT to make it into Chuck E. Cheese. The kids have asked many times, but it just hasn't happened. So, I thought it would be a treat for them. A friend of mine gave me some coupons & I printed some off the Internet too. We got tons of tokens, pizza & soda for everyone. We had a pretty good time, except for 3 emotional meltdowns - ALL thanks to Mia. One meltdown because she wanted to play a specific game, another when we were down to our last 2 tokens (one for Adelaide & one for Mia). Her final tantrum was on the way out when she changed her mind at the last minute about which prize she wanted (after our turn was over). We'll have to think seriously about another birthday @ Chuck E. Cheese. - Mia says she wants to have her birthday there next month. W...

SEW Happy...Some of My "Projects"

It's October, and I DO like Halloween. I think it's fun to dress up & pretend. Sometimes it's a little grotesque & scary or pretty or even silly. This year, I felt like I should embrace my "roundness". I kept thinking of ways I could emphasize my prego belly, and this is what I came up with (for about$7 too). I bought a black T-shirt (used a coupon) at Michaels. I got 1/2 yd of orange fabric for my pumpkin (which could have made 2), then 1/4yd of black, green & orange w/ polka-dots. I knew I already had some Under Wonder (Heat & Bond) stuff at home that I could use. I had an idea of how I wanted it to look, so I actually put the T-shirt on wrong-side-out & marked where I wanted the pumpkin, so I could decide how big to make it. I sewed with black thread to make lines on the pumpkin, just to embellish it a little more. I cut eyes, nose & mouth out of black & ironed it on with under wonder. Then, sewed around the outside edges. I attache...

Video Friday

By -
OK, today is video Friday. I was looking through some video clips with the kids this morning & decided to share a couple of cute ones. This is one of my faves. - This is just typical for Adam when Amelia was born. He loved his little sis SO much. What happened? It's just funny to hear Amelia "whine" as her brother loves on her.
