Awesome Kids!

I'm so proud of my kids. They are so smart, talented, cute, and fun. This month has been busy with parent teacher conferences, band concerts, scout court of honor (David received his Star rank in scouts), activity days recognition (Sarah made a cake to display what she learned from an "awesome" cake decorating class...what can I say, she's a chip off the 'ol block), school district art show (only a handful of students from the whole school get chosen to display a piece of artwork at the school district's admin building and Sarah was one of them!) What great kids!

100th day of school

Last week the kids celebrated their 100th day in school this year. For the younger kids there is a lot of practice counting and writing to 100, playing games involving 100 items, etc. Hannah brought home a booklet that she had to write in answers regarding 100; it was so cute I just had to share it with you:

What would you choose if you could have 100 of anything? "100 cats. I love cats because they snugle up with you."
If you had 100 dollars, what would you buy? ">Lany the amaricen girl and stuf for Kirsten the amaricen girl."
Would you rather live with 100 ants or 100 butterflies? >"Buttrflis. Ants are for boys"
Would you rather have 100 pet snakes or 100 pet dinosaurs? "Snacs. Dinosrs wood eat me"
What could you do 100 times that would make you tired or sore? "Wii Sports Resort."
If you had to eat 100 of one sort of food, what would you choose to eat? "Macoroni and chees pezza from seeses." (Cici's)
If it was your 100th birthday, how would you spend your day? "Sa goodby befor I dyie."

Olympics!

OK, call us crazy, but we LOVE the Olympics! We even marked it ahead of time on our calendar so we wouldn't plan anything for tonight. Why tonight? Opening ceremonies, of course. The kids love to make the Olympic Rings in pizza form and we all watch the opening ceremonies together while eating our Olympic Pizza. We still talk about when we went to Salt Lake to see the ski jumping competition (tickets from E-Bay) at the 2002 Winter Olympics. Go team USA!

Sick day

I think all of Seven Hills is fighting the same nasty respiratory bug: sinus congestion, mild fever, fatigue, relentless cough. We aren't excluded. After a long night of coughing her lungs out I thought it appropriate for Hannah to take a sick day and try to get some rest. After the kids left for school she cuddled up on the couch, not to watch TV but to get some spiritual strength as well. (Now I'll feel guilty when I'm in bed sick wanting to read the latest novel)

Nuggets 127 Mavericks 91

Most lopsided win of the year, and Carmelo's first night back after eight games off. Fun times!

AGH!

"Okay, I'm officially freaked out now" (can anyone identify this quote?)
Seriously, I am freaked out...my son is now taller than me and here is the evidence.

My current attitude toward updating the bloggg:

Bah.
