Not My Favorite Superhero

Jack is currently obsessed with the movie "Captain Underpants." I'm very excited for this phase to pass.  Please let it pass soon.

Making Mama Proud

Cole brought this home from school today.  His answer to the last fill-in-the-blank is everything.

And Suddenly

It's time to go back to school. Wait, what?!

 

Cole is entering 3rd grade with Mrs. Melville.

 

Jack is entering 1st grade with Mrs. Eckersley.

 

We're looking forward to homework, school programs, and our VERY involved PTA. (Sarcasm detected.)

Date Night

My 18-year-old self would have been offended. My 37-year-old self gasped with laughter.

Yard Makeover

Before the summer became crazy, Bryce and I had arranged to have a new fence put in the backyard. Unfortunately, to get to the old fence, we had to hack through old and dying bushes. In some ways it was good that Bryce was out of work, because he basically took truckloads of green waste out to the dump every day. At the end, we were left with some stubborn stumps growing on the fence line. Bryce was patient...to a point. And then I believe his exact words were "I'm tired of screwing around with this stump. Don't worry. I was a Boy Scout."

 

 

Just a note? It didn't work. But, the fence guys were awesome and worked around it. I'd say the new one looks pretty nice!
