Jaguar and the Beanstalk
So, for Christmas last year the kids received some storybooks on cd. One of them was Jack and the Beanstalk. Today when I got home from work they asked me if I would come watch them play Jack and the Beanstalk. I figured they would do an ad-lib kind of thing.
Upon entering the room I am seated. A then informs me that he's not Jack, but jaguar. M is playing the part of the giant. The cd is started and the play begins. I hadn't realized they were going to do a play, I just thought that they were going to do some silly stuff and call it good.
So, jaguar goes off to sell the cow and gets the magic beans (which are portrayed by small pieces of paper). The beans are thrown out the window (onto the floor) and up (down) springs the beanstalk (a red construction paper curl with a green construction paper snowflake taped to the bottom - taped to the ceiling). A climbs up the ladder to the top bunk and hides in the stove (under the covers) when the giant enters the room.
Well, that's about as far as we got because dinner-time was signaled. Still, makes me proud that they can do something like this. Probably something most kids would do, but as we all know, my kids aren't exactly like most kids.

Just call him "Elasto-man"!
So we all know that little girls can wrap their daddies around their little fingers only seconds after they're born.
Today M has reminded us how tightly C is wrapped. He must be wrapped tightly because we're throwing a birthday party for a baby doll today. Yes, we're having cake too.
Wrapped that tightly and still able to buy a cake... now that's flexibility! hehe
Gotta love both of them though... ahhhhhhh. Makes me smile.

Grandma's birthday
Very briefly spoke with Grandma just now. Well, I spoke with the nurse as Grandma's phone wasn't dialing out and she couldn't hear me on the nurse's cell phone. Nurse says grandma is doing ok, not good but ok. Starting to have more bad days than good. I'll email out some more information when I have the time, but I'm at work at the moment and don't have email addresses here.
