We need an update on the kids

They are growing up!

We went to the Harlem Globe Trotters! It was funny.

Indoor sand box: made with beans. This project must be done right before sweeping the kitchen.


Gabe:
Loves school. Just absorbs everything his teacher says,
then tells me all about it on the way home.
Sweetest and craziest kid I know.
These are perfect examples of typical Gabriel behaviors:
All that is missing are lightning flashes to represent the speed and burst of energy he exerts.

Helping me cook. Of course with his shirt off because the less clothes the better for him.

Wants to do the dishes. Because he loves to work, help, and play in the water.

The other morning he brought me 6 screws. I asked him where he got them, and he lead me to this door. He had unscrewed the door hinge. He has a crazy little engineering mind, always wondering how things work.

"Mom, I'm all dressed!"
He's a healthy developing boy!

Luke:
Had his school music program, "Music around the world" His class sang a song in Chinese. He loved his Chinese hat with the long ponytail down the back.
Luke found a few tutorials on u-tube about redesigning your clone troopers. The project included sanding off the top of the helmet to be smooth and adding orange permanent marker.
He has also started building and collecting model airplanes.
He has also started having an opinion about his hair. He wants it to be longer.
Clark:
Has hit the two's. He's throwing fits and screaming. He's still adorable most the time. He sings "twinkle, twinkle, little star" (just that phrase) over and over in the car.
He loves his baby.
He finally decided he liked watch TV, but only one cartoon. Dora the Explorer. He is obsessed with her. He has also started doing puzzles a lot.
Ben:
Had a work conference in New Orleans. This is the BBQ shrimp he ate. He had to hide in his hotel half the time because he was there during Marti Gra. He said it was a very dirty and immoral place. He doesn't recommend it.
He got all these beads at the family parade. He said the High School Marching bands in the parade were the most impressive part of the trip.

LOL...Mardi Gras! We took a cruise out of New Orleans. The weekend before the official Mardi Gras day is family weekend. We were a few streets over. It was much cleaner on the family weekend. Ryan was thrown a thong beaded necklace. Our friend Philip ran to ask for a thong beaded necklace. That weekend was very fun. We had around 35 people going on a cruise. Glad he got a few beads. I have been to New Orleans twice and both times I felt "icky" in the city. Evil...pure Evil feeling.
