First Day of Kindergarten

The first day of the rest of their school lives...







They have NO IDEA how many days, months, years, they have to now get up early and get to school on time. :)

Avery and Connor are in separate classes - we thought it would be best, since if they were together, Connor would do all the talking, and Avery would do all the school work.

Daddy after day 2: "are you guys following the rules?"
Avery: "so far no principal"

Little Walking Man Status

Bennett is walking up a storm now (13 months). He can walk from Connor's room down to M&D's room. And then downstairs he's cruising all around the family room and kitchen, making turns, etc.

He usually cruises with the right hand up and forward - that must be his navigation device. :)

Connor Has No Memory

Kids are in science camp this week. Tonight I asked Connor what they did in camp today. His answer:

"Dad, that was morning, and this is night -- it's a long time to remember."

He Sucks !

Setup: Bennett has been slowly learning to use a sippy cup. For a while, he would allow the cup to go into his mouth, but just think the contents will just pour into his mouth. He's finally starting to learn the sucking part...and the kids are well aware of his progress.

Jamie was out somewhere with all 3 kids, when a friend asked the kids, "how is your baby brother doing?"

Connor: "he sucks!!"

Finding a Mate

Driving the kids around tonight, doing some Mother's day shopping.

Connor: "Daddy, when Avery and I are Mommy and Daddy..."
Avery: "No Connor...I have to find a new boy!"
Connor: "Ya, and I have to find a new girl. Where are we going to find them?"
Avery: "You have to look around! Maybe school, maybe after..."

Not Perfect

so sweet

Daddy: "Connor, if you're not good, I'm not going to sleep in your bunk bed next weekend"

Connor: "Daddy, I'm being good. Not perfect...but pretty good..."

Connor: "Tell me when I'm being 'un-good' "

Cupboard Not Broken

Our refrigerator broke last night, so we had to empty all the food out of it, and turned it off.

This morning, Connor was concerned about the missing food, where it was, why, etc. I showed him that the milk, juice, etc. was out in the garage fridge things were fine.

When we got back to the kitchen, Connor figured out:
The Dippy Stix are ok, cuz the cupboard is not broken!!
