If you give a boy some ice cream...

How to make your brother sick

1. Convince him this will be a great idea and get him into position.

2. Start the winding process.

3. Wind him up even farther then he should. Give an extra twist for good measure.

4. Get ready to let go and watch the fun.

5. Watch him helplessly spin out of control and think it is the funniest thing you've ever seen.

*Disclaimer - no child was hurt or became physically ill during this process.

First Day of School

Wes had his very first day of Kindergarten yesterday! He was so brave and did a great job!
He played red light, green light and had story time and practiced his letters and numbers.

I found a dirty Sasquatch waiting for the bus.

The bus missed our stop and continued on to drop off the other kids.
Poor Wes told them to stop when he saw us waiting for him and began crying. They came back and dropped him off safe and sound but it gave him quite a scare!

He jumped off the bus straight into daddy's arms!

The Question and a Wish

I was putting Wes to bed last night and I told him that he will have a new cousin by Friday. He looked a little puzzled and asked why Kristen didn't have a baby in her tummy last year but this year she does. Then he asked how she got the baby in her tummy.
I told him that when two people love each other very very much they make a wish and get a baby. He told me he loved me but didn't get what he wished for - I had to tell him it was only for mommy's and daddy's. He thought about it for awhile and told me that he loves me and knows what he would wish for...a lifetime supply of zucchini bread!
