Library Day

I love Fridays for more reasons than one. But lately why I love Fridays is that it's Library day for Blake's class. I love to see what books he has picked to bring home for the week. You never know what he is going to bring home. It usually has something to do with animals, bugs, or motorcycles and cars. These are all fact books--no fiction for this kid.

Last week he did bring home a TEXT BOOK about Weather and Climate--it was even published by Prentice-Hall. He looked at it every morning during breakfast. Not too out of the norm, he usually "reads" the weather page out of the newspaper with his breakfast. Chad and I got a good laugh with that one.

But this week he brought home this beauty!!
And could not wait for Chad or I to read it to him. This was pretty much an information book for someone who has lice!! (must have been pre-internet) It covers everything from how and where they lay eggs. To how to treat your lice problem, what special shampoos and combs to use, whatever you need to cure your lice in more areas than one. I got to about page two and could not stop itching!! We quickly finished the book, I put it back in his backpack, and told him he had to return it first thing on Monday. I don't know why, but I felt like we were going to get lice just from having the book in our house.

Why can't he bring home books like: The Diary of a Worm, or If You Give a Mouse a Cookie? These still have to do with animals. Apparently someone needs to show him that there are other sections of the library.

I cant wait to see what he brings home today.

Happy Birthday Blake!

Our Blake man is now 7!! Blake's birthday just happened to be during spring break so we were able to do a little more then the usual take him to dinner. We ended up going to the Planetarium and seeing a 3D IMAX movie. Blake loved it, Luke hated it. I guess there is a difference between a 7 year old and a 2 year old. Blake's birthday celebration seemed to last for a week. Everyday for a week someone was stopping by with gifts for him. This kid is truly loved and very spoiled!

Blake was excited that his partner in crime, Savannah was able to join him.
Here they are on the moon.

Luke on the moon.

(I think it's time for a new camera, Luke normally does not have a crazy eye)

And here they are exploring Mars.

10 Years!

Circa 1998...

where it all began.

Time has flown by and the adventure has been awesome!!

Easter

I had to work the Saturday before Easter so Chad being the awesome dad he is, took the kids to an Easter egg hunt. He is better then me, it was so cold I would have never ventured out! The kids had a good time. I thought they got plenty, so this year the Easter Bunny didn't have to worry about getting any treats. He did bring them each some books, and they thought that was great!
