And in this Corner....

John Parker loves the new Wii....especially the boxing. Is this some serious concentration or what??

Okey Dokey Matey

Avery went to her friend Wiley's 4th B-day party on Saturday. She wore John Parker's pirate costume from Halloween when he was 3. She loves the Sponge Bob pirate episode and runs around saying, "Aargh" and "Okey Dokey Matey" with her hands on her face. It is too funny. She had a great time at the party, but I think she enjoyed chasing the dog the most. That's all she talked about!!

Yankee Doodle Boy

John Parker had his patriotic program at school this morning. He did such a good job. He had to say, "All through the night the flag it still waves with blessing sent from Heaven above." I memorized it too since I practiced it with him 100 times!! haha

Tooth Fairy--Over Worked and Under Paid!

John Parker lost one of his top front teeth over the weekend. He wrote the tooth fairy a thank you note and wants to leave it under his pillow tonight. Here is the translation: Thank you for giving me a sparkle dollar. And can you find my best yuki o?.......It was actually a $5 bill with fairy dust (aka glitter) and I have no earthly idea where this yuki o card is. He may be disappointed. I tried to tell him that the tooth fairy may not have time to come get the letter and he said, "I'm sure she can stop by for a minute and besides no one else in my class lost a tooth, so she can't be that busy." Who knew being the tooth fairy was such hard work??

Snow Day!!

We got about 5-6 inches of snow last night and it's still snowing now! The kids couldn't wait to get out there and play. We made a snowman, had a snowball fight, went sledding with the neighbors and made grape sno-cones! I'm sure we'll be back out in it later. It is so beautiful. The kids have seen more snow this Winter, than I saw my entire childhood!

My Funny Valentine

Tonight we finished all our Valentine's--woo hoo!! John Parker addressed all his for his school party. Avery helped with hers. She loved the princess stamp! And, I finished Av's class goodies!!

Who Dat?!

John Parker had Black/Gold Day at school Thursday to celebrate the Saints and Avery had a Super Bowl party at school today. They were so excited. The dentist asked John Parker was he going to watch the Super Bowl on Sunday and he said, "My Mama is!" You can see who the football fan is in our house.....Avery was most excited about taking Cheese Puffs to school and kept reminding me about them!!
