Picky eater

I admit it. I'm a picky eater. I think I am aiming for the vegetarian diet. My food options are now limited to yogurt, fruit, bread, peanut butter, jelly, crackers, and desserts.

Salmon and green beans with bacon bits on it? I don't think so.

Luke liked it. I think he must have different taste buds than me. 

Hey Ali and Dex, It's Lego time!

Ali and Dexter are here for spring break. Our theme for the week is Lego, Lego, Lego. Real Lego battles, xBox Lego battles, Star Wars Lego pj's, trips to the Lego store, and anything else we can think of. We are all master builders.

Happy Birthday Mom

I love the cake, your presents, and you!

Kiss me! I'm Irish!

Don't we look good in our green?

No training wheels!

I am a great bike rider. I've kept on one training wheel for months mostly because my bike doesn't have a kick stand. Well, I finally took it off and I am faster than ever!

Carnival of the Animals

After months of preparation and two full days of rehearsals, my class along with four other 1st grade classes, performed the Carnival of the Animals at the McCoy Center. The show was about a little girl who was dreaming of different animals. We all recited lines from the Tempest, and our class did a tortoise and zebra poem and dance.

Here we are getting ready in out tortoise costumes. 

Shakespeare's the Tempest.

Don't I make a great zebra?

After we had a special family dinner at McDonald's to celebrate!

More marshmallows please!

Johnston's maple syrup

2nd annual batch of syrup is underway.

Electronics ban

So I guess 6 hours of Minecraft plus bad behavior gets you banned from electronics. Doesn't seem fair to me. 

This was us then.

This is us now.

At least this got me back into writing my Spiker book. The key to writing a good book is putting a Caldecott medal on it. So that's what all my books will have.

Thanks Grandma!

Thanks for taking care of me while mommy was away, especially since I got strep throat and talked incessantly about video games.
