Back to blogging

I have to put these things somewhere.  Just a quick one for now and maybe I can get some back posts going...

Two hilarious Jake quotes from today:


Me: So, did you start the health unit where you learn things about your body.

Jake: "Yeah. And we learned about women." Then, he came over and patted me on the shoulder and said, "Women have it way worse."

Then, tonight he took Lucy out and and when he came back I asked if she pooped and he said, "I don't know. When she started to go to the bathroom, I looked away cuz that would be impolite."

St. Baldrick's Day

Today was the big head shave for St. Baldrick's Day.  I am so proud of my boy.  That adorable dimple faced middle child with a huge heart and a fearless spirit.

Moscow Ballet - The Nutcracker

The ladies went to see the Moscow Ballet perform the Nutcracker.  It was lovely.  Chloe would have probably enjoyed leaving after the intermission.  ;)  But she was a trouper and we bought her a lovely nutcracker/  :)

Grove Holiday Events

The boys were in the annual Holiday Program and the entire school went to see A Christmas Carol.   Both events gave great opportunities for ordinarily grubby boys to dress up. ;)

And for family to come watch them perform.

Chloe as Joseph

Chloe's preschool class did a little show and of course every little girl wanted to be an angel or Mary.  When those parts were taken, the teachers said Chloe said she would be Joseph.  The were so impressed that there was not so much as a grimace from her.  She can be so mature and amazing!  As it turns out, her costume was the most beautiful one there.  Grandma and Granpda came to see and there was a litlle refreshment hour afterwards.  Chloe's two best friend's at school are Vivian and Ian.  So cute!
