Playing in the rain

N said something about drowning over in Wales. Well we thought we were in for the same fate yesterday as we had a huge storm hit that gave us flash-flood conditions (probably, haven't heard what they officially called it) as well as a power-outage. M pretended to take a shower in the rain, A was just a goof, and we let them run back and forth on the front patio for a few runs. The worst part about the storm wasn't that we lost power (think over 100 degrees and humid with no a/c), but that we lost power when the pizza we were going to have for dinner was only 1/2 done. ACK!!! Luckily it was able to slow-cook a bit more and it wasn't too icky. Still a disappointment though.

*sigh*

M: Wow! Grampa W. was right! You do have duck feet!

Where does he get this stuff?

A: mom do I have brain water?

Me: no

A: does my brain float in water?

Me: no, it's in your head

A: so it just sits on the bottom of my head?

____________
A: mom, do I have a blood stream? A blood stream on my tummy?

Me: no, you do have a blood stream all through your body though.

A: All through my body?!?
____________

not to mention his vocabulary is incredible. What 5 year old uses words like improvise? I could be wrong, but wow. Maybe it's because M was non-verbal until almost 5.

Geez dad...

M: Mom, can I have an apple?

Me: I don't mind

M: does that mean I can have an apple?

C: At least she's asking for clarification...

M: No, I'm asking for an apple.

hehehe.

Classroom assignments

We got next year's classroom assignments this weekend. Really don't know either teacher. We were kind of expecting A to get M's K teacher, but he's in a different class. I'm actually not too worried, their classrooms are only a couple doors apart. It's looking like A will be in half-day as well. We really didn't have a preference when we filled out the form, but it's seeming like C really does and is wondering if we can get him into full day. I have no preference really either.

I also need to double check on bussing. I thought A didn't qualify for bussing this year and they both have bus routes on their forms. That's something to look into.

M is so excited and keeps asking to have the booklet that came. Unfortunately we need to tear out a couple of pages and send them back so she can't have it.

Happy Birthday America

and happy anniversary to me & hubbster.

Can you believe that 10 years ago today I was getting ready to get married. Wow.

Nothing special planned for today, though we may do something. Who knows.

Cover your eyes if you don't want to go blind

I love my parents, really I do. But why would they allow me to wear this lovely combination? Yeah, yeah, I know... pick your battles. I just wish there wasn't proof that I *MUST* have won this particular battle... I'm the one on the bottom with the blue tights... *sigh*

More from the junior punkinhead

A: I'm wearing short pants for the morning season mommy!

No clue what this means except he was so very happy about it. Oh yeah, this was said at 7:00 p.m. tonight making it the much odder.

I'd love to get into his mind and just see the way he thinks sometimes.
