Jog-A-Thon

This morning was the Jog-A-Thon at school. Ben ran 8 laps! I was amazed. He ran almost the entire time. I was so proud of him, and you could tell that he was thrilled with himself too! Alex, well, she would run the portion of the track in front of me, and then walk and talk to her friends (or anyone around her for that matter) the rest of the track. But: every time she came around to where I was, she would pick up the pace and run, run, run. I could not help but laugh!

Leprechaun Stew

We had our lucky dinner - and Ben ate it! I wonder how long her will keep wearing his mask! He swore he saw Mr. McGillicuddy in the yard and that he scared PJ. I love their imaginations!

Pump It Up

Our friends, Josh and Dylan Bromley invited us to Pump It Up for a St. Patrick's Day celebration! It was the best! We are so lucky to have such great friends!!

Leprechauns

The Leprechauns came to school too! Alex and Ben thought it was so neat that the made a mess at school too. They were so excited that at snack, their applesauce turned green when they pulled back the lid! And then it turned their tongues green - even better!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Well! Mr. McGillicuddy struck again! He made a huge mess in our playroom tearing up our Leprechaun trap and sent us on a wild Leprechaun hunt. He left footprints on the sink, the mirror, the light switch, and even the toilet, which he turned green. Ben and Alex were so funny tyring to prove to me that they did not leave the foot prints on the toilet seat! Our pancakes even turned green! How does he do it! I love holidays!

Garden Club

We made bird feeders at Garden Club. This is the best class ever! We have gotten to plant flowers, grow vegetables, make a compost bin, play with worms, design our own garden, and now make bird feeders and go look for birds.

Legoland

The Vetlesens, Josh, Jason, and their mom took us to Legoland with them today to play. Alex and Ben adore Josh and Jason, and it was great to get to spend some time with them. We miss them now that we are in different schools and do not have weekly play days. They all play so well together. We did it all, even things we had never done before. We saw a show, and got to be in it, made Lego race cars, and raced them, and finally got to drive the BIG kids cars. Oh were we all thrilled! They are amazing friends and we had the best day!

Cutie

Cutie helped Dan pay the bills. When Dan starts to play with Cutie, I think it is time we get get a dog!

Our new House!

Mr. Dibble made us a super house to play in! It is fabulous! It has three rooms and doors and windows. It is the best and Mr. Dibble is the GREATEST!!!

Our first T-ball Game

We had our first Lugnut t-ball game this morning. Alex and Ben did super, of course. Alex only took her glove off twice to wave to me, and Ben did not find one bug in the ground. YEAH! It is so fun to watch them. They are getting better, but I do miss Ben getting touchdowns and Alex running the wrong way.

Crazy Hair!!

All the Whos in Whoville got to go the school with crazy hair. We did not have any hair gel, so I had to spike Ben's hair with conditioner. At least it will be soft!

ToothFairy!

The Tooth Fairy came last night and left Alex money from India. Wow was that so cool. She loved the fairy dust the most. She put it on her cheeks and nose.

Alex lost a tooth!

Alex lost her front tooth today. It was so loose that I can not believe it did not fall out sooner. She was washing her face getting ready for school, and "POP" it was out and fell into the sink. She is thrilled and can not wait to place it under her pillow for the Tooth Fairy tonight. I love how excited she gets!
