Hoppy Fathers Day

All I wanted for Fathers day was to sleep in.

hoppy fathers day

But instead, check out the SWEET loot I got from the K's.

First off, love this personal letter from Kayla.

EPSON001

Got a red envelope with 52 cents.

She also made this Pilgrim hat for me, with a little tag on it. Dude, it IS the best thing ever!

Dance recital

This little lady had another dance performance on the weekend. Got all dressed up, make up done, for her 3 minutes of fame on stage.

I can't believe she doesn't have the slightest stage fright, whether it be in the classroom, or on stage. When I was her age, I'd be super nervous when doing anything in front of an audience.

I love her look of concentration on this shot, so serious, lol.

Ur doing it wrong

Ur doing it wrong.

Kristin loves to help around the house, especially now that school is almost done. She helps out at dinner and offers to do little chores here and there. Kayla is the complete opposite. She expects us to do everything for her.

It's not always sunshine and rainbows

Spent Sunday afternoon scraping noodles and bread from the back seat of my car. Someone decided to contract a stomach virus of sorts. She's feeling better now, and no fever, so that's always a good sign.

"Stomach Virus ain't got nothing on me!"

I remember when Kristin was young and had stomach viruses. Not a pretty sight either.

I'm just hoping Kristin doesn't catch whatever Kayla had.

Eating out

Why? Why is it that every time we go out to eat, a peaceful non-drama filled meal can't be had? It always starts with that mischievous glance, the troublesome glare. Then the physical altercation...a pinch, a shove, a kick.

Then they make up and bust out into song and dance....while.....we.....eat.

Kayla had her first art exhibition today. She's been in art class for almost a year now, and was asked to select one of her favorite pieces for display, more on that later. She also got to paint her own little square on the classroom floor which I though was neat.

She gets into the zone when she's doing art.

The instructor did a little interview on camera with her, and it was so funny hearing her explain her project.

When she first brought it home, I thought it was an airplane, but there was also another small piece that went with it. Can you guess what it is?

I would have never guessed.....The little separate piece was a fish, yes a fish....that the whale was trying to eat.

If they could have it their way.....

It would be chocolate syrup for toothpaste.

brush your teeth!

I don't know what it is, but I think cavities run in the family. I have my fair share of cavities, and I know my mom and dad have a bunch. I'm pretty sure the K's are on their way as well. Kristin already has a few, and supervised flossing and brushing are a regular routine now.
