{a great idea!}

Those of you with little kids should really check out these safety tattoos. What a great idea!

Here is just a glipse of what's been going on....

Gerard has a new wrestling partner other than Daddy and Grandpa, and boy, can she hold her own!

Tee ball last night. Like the "eye-black"???





Playing outside today. We got Morgan this playhouse for her birthday. She seems to really like it so far, but I think Gerard likes it even more.

{wanna feel old?}

Just for fun, remember this????

{life lessons}

Remember "All I really need to know I learned in Kindergarten"? Check this out -- I like to think of it as "All I really need to know I learned from wild animals".



Never give up and stick together and you can beat the crocodiles and lions in the world!

I hope everyone has a nice Memorial Day weekend!

{kindergarten here he comes!}

Well, last week Gerard had his kindergarten readiness test. In our district, all kids with late birthdays (August 1 through December 1) have to be tested to see if they're ready for kindergarten or if they should be placed in "Young Fives". We all felt pretty confident that Gerard would test into Kindergarten and today the principal called to tell us that he had! So, he'll be getting on the kindergarten bus in September! Crazy....

Just a few new pictures....

Morgan (and her ponytail), ALWAYS climbing on things:

We had our fun fair at school last week and Gerard had his face painted. It absolutely surprised me, because he is usually very weird about people touching his face. I'm sure it helped that it was a pretty high school girl doing the painting. (Although clearly she doesn't have much of a future in art -- it's supposed to be a heart!)

Gerard got to take his class mascot home this week. Of course Curious George had to come to Gerard's tee ball game.

But the highlight of his game was eating dinner at the concession stand:

I know there have been some problems getting all the pictures to load on the blog, but hopefully it's taken care of now. Debbie suggested that I reduce the number of posts on the main page and that seems to have taken care of the problem. I guess there was just too much to load! Thanks, Deb, and thanks to everyone else for hanging in there with me. I'll have new pictures soon!
