Snapped this picture of Kevin after he flipped his lid, lost his top, blew his head off, etc. etc.

It's Graduation Day!!

Happy Graduation Will!

He sang his little heart out and walked proudly down the aisle.  Here he is in all his glory.

The brothers were on hand to celebrate.  Also Grandma, Aunt Dianne and Uncle Glenn.  

 Congratulations Will! 

Happy Mother's Day

Thinking of you, Mom, as Mother's Day approaches.

 

I picked these for you just like I did when I was little.  I couldn't put them in Grandma's basket because well, you know that story.   I used another one from Dianne.  I wish we could sit on the couch together and complain about the crappy spring weather.  I hope it's warm weather where you are and you get to work in the flowers. 

Calling All Karate Kids...

 

This sign caught my eye as I was driving Ethan to his soccer game on Sunday.  So very clever you are car wash peeps.    

 



 

Will Learns to Draw

After we read a book, oftentimes we give children at preschool a blank piece of paper to illustrate and write down a thought or two about the story.  Some children have difficulty knowing where to start.  Hence, I found this awesome little drawing book online and proceeded to do with the preschool children when we rotated through centers last week.

I had Will's group.  The Blue Triangles.  They were drawing away.  I was very impressed with their work.  Will was sitting at the opposite end from me at a rectangular table so I couldn't really see what he was drawing.  I was excited to see his work when I got home. 

Here's the first charming little pig.  I think he forgot the ears, but that's neither here nor there.

 

Next comes the chicken.  "Cute," I think.  I notice a little mistake at the bottom, but I don't mind it.  He's five after all.

 





 

At the cat picture I start to wonder, "What are there three little droplets under kitty's bum?"  

 



 By the time I see the cow, it is clear.  Will has drawn most of his animals pooping.

 

Maybe he has a future illustrating veterinary journals.  As God as my witness, I will foster this talent.                                                                   



Relatively New Additions

 

Back in February, somewhere around Will's birthday, he was able to pick out three fish as a present from his family.  The result has been a trio of lovely, peaceful creatures in our family room.  We set up our tank and waited days for the water to be ready temperature wise and chemical wise.  Here is a picture of the new aquatic center.

 

The coolest part is that it glows in the dark.  Check it out.

 

Even cooler the fish glow. 

 

 

Our fellas are named Octavious, Red Bullet (after Will's coaster bike bequeathed to him from BFF Ethan) and for the love of me I can't remember the last one.  Wait for it.  Texting spouse.  It really doesn't matter because the little bugger hides in the cave all the time.  I couldn't even find him for the photo spread.

 

Flasher!  Thanks.  Also, per our aquatics manager (a/k/a Kev-bo) "He [Flasher] hides in the bottom of the cave.  Doesn't eat much." 

 

If he shows himself and I am so inclined I will snap a shot of him and add it later. 

 

Welcome boys.  Hold on tight it's going to be a bumpy ride.  

 

'Ello. Anybody out there?

Contrary to popular belief, I have not dropped off the blogisphere.  Yes, I am dangling.  Holding on for dear life and trying to get my foot hold.  Hopefully I am rallying back to life.

I am currently taking an online classes on Technology.  I had to create a 30 second video using Animoto.  Check it out. 

Spoiler:  30 seconds is really, really short.  There's no time for popcorn.  Don't even put it in the microwave.  The clip will be over long before the popping slows down.

I would have embedded the video in this post, but I had to upgrade from the free version.  So 'not gonna do it.

Wow.  I sound so much more tech savvy than I did two weeks ago. 

I recognize that the photo of Kevin and I seems obstructed by random ebb and flow of the pre-fab ocean background.  If I was tech savvy enough to fix it, I would.
