G. I. Joe "The American Hero"

We went to the toy store today, to finally use Ryan's birthday gift cards. Ryan loves playing dress up with his sister Kira, but usually gets stuck wearing her dress up clothes (if you know what I mean). So when we walked by the boy dress up section today, Ryan saw this military outfit, and said, "cooool, I want that!". NO arguments here. When I was little I was a little on the tomboy side, so I'm going to enjoy all the boy play time this school year. We'll get Ryan on the right track. Go Joe!

Back to School

The girls started school this week. Caitlyn is now a big 4th grader. Yikes! She was happy to go back to school this year. She loves her new teacher, and has had a very positive attitude, with the exception of having her picture taken at school. She was mortified! Kira is now in 1st grade. Hurray for the full day schedule! She too loves being back at school, and is enjoying her new teacher, and friends. She comes home excited to do homework. Hope that lasts. It's been quiet at home with them gone, but the boys and I are enjoying spending time with one another without girlish distractions.

Art?

Kira suggested a painting project. We got all the paints, and papers out for the kids to make their art pieces. While I was busy cleaning, Andrew and Kira decided on expanding their art from the paper to Ange's face. That's one piece of art that I will have to get rid of. NOT Ange, but the face paint. It was still pretty funny though.

Sleepy Head

We came back from the pool to have lunch, and apparently Andrew was just too tired to eat.
