I am so tricky!

Today Benjamin and I were playing UNO...Benjamin had one card left and said "Mom, if you put down a yellow one I promise I won't win!" Hmmm...let me think about that for a second. What s cutie!

My Little Mouse

Dylan's entire school read "The Cricket in Times Square". Today they all dressed as their favorite character. Dylan dressed as Tucker the mouse. I actually made his "costume"...and I use that word lightly. He's so sweet though...he said he thought it was the best homemade costume he has ever seen.

My Little Math Wiz!

Dylan was the 1st boy in his class (the 2nd person overall) to move on from addition facts to subtraction facts on the Fastt Math Program they use!

Great Job Dylan!!! We are so proud of you! You worked hard for this and I'm glad to see you so excited about it!

So Sweet

Tonight I took Dylan and his best friend PJ to a science fun night at their school. I turned around for a second and when I looked back I saw Dylan bending down to tie PJ's shoes!! It was so sweet, and my heart swelled with love for the kind and helping spirit that Dylan has. Thank you Lord for my sweet boy!

2 Words :Benjamin

"Mom, I have 2 words for you:  Glass and Wood!"

What's Been Hiding in Ben's Bed???

Benjamin thinks he is sooo sneaky...this is what we find in his bed EVERY night before we go to bed:

We put him to bed, then when we go about our business he "sneaks" his Lego Star Wars guys into his bed to play with them.  Of course, as soon as he hears us coming upstairs he covers them up with his blankets and lays on top of them! Kind of a dead give away huh?  He doesn't get that though!  After he covers them up and lays on top of them he says "I don't want to be tucked in again!" Well, once he finally falls asleep, we peel back the covers and find his stash!  A couple of times we didn't remove the stash and we woke him up in the morning and he was laying on top of them!  He is going to need a chiropractor for sure!  Ouch!
