Mother's Day projects

The kids did such a great job and loved making their gifts for Grammy and Grandma. They painted clay pots and I am going to add their picture with a poem. Grammy got a bigger pot that they worked on together, and Grandma got three separate pots (easier to take back on a plane). David and Caroline did a great job and had fun painting. Kate painted a little bit of the pot then started painting all over the paper on the table. She was a big yellow mess! They turned out so cute and they were so proud of their work!!! Happy Grandmother's Day!!!

"Mini Me" Caroline

Caroline is me all over again. We are so alike it is so funny. She repeats everything I say also. Uh oh!

Last week David was having a meltdown while getting out of the car when we got home from school.

Caroline calls out to him in the garage: "David, get in this house RIGHT NOW! You have lost your mind!"

Hmmmm- yes, I have said that before.

Where are my little kitties?

Okay, maybe I need to stop referring to Kate as my little kitty. The other day we were getting ready to leave school, and I said, "Where are all my little kitties?"

Kate looks at me and says in her little sweet voice, "Meow, meow, meow."

Want a great book?

I just finished a really good book. I love reading anything from Jodi Picoult and it is her new one out- Change of Heart. Great drama and suspense and keeps you wanting to read.

Peace and quiet...

I was reading a book that suggested a couple of good calming CDs for the family/ kids. They were Handel - Water Music and Vivaldi- The Four Seasons. Yesterday on our way to school, there was crying and screaming from all in the car- very annoying. I put in one of the CDs (Handel- Water Music) and there was silence. They were all quiet all the way to Brent's school and their school. Wow- nice!!!!!!!!!

Little people conversations

D: Who made painted that new picture? (on the refrigerator)

Me: Caroline did that.

D: Caroline, that is soooo great. Great job on your painting!!! Come over here and give me a hug!

C: You like it? Thanks, David. I paint at school.

D: Yes- good job. Come sit here with me. (at counter eating lunch)

She climbs up on the other stool and they share his orange and continue a little conversation just between them. They have gotten really close. So precious! David loves giving her encouragement.

Not just yummy....

When Caroline loves something she is eating, she doesn't just say it is yummy-

she says, "That is guwicious!!!!!" (delicious)
