I'll take the lickin's for him

What an awesome kid our Bossy is turning into!


So Cutler has decided he is old enough to do EVERYTHING by himself. Most of the time I think it's great but when it comes to ransacking the fridge and cupboards for food that ends up not getting eaten, it is NOT the greatest. So today when he decided he was going to make toast right after he had not finished breakfast I told him he could do it as long as he ate it all gone. Well he put the bread in the toaster until it was toasted to his liking and then slathered it with butter. I set him at the counter and told him he didn't get anything else to eat until it was gone. He took one bite and said he was done. So I sat him back at the counter and told him we were done wasting food and that he wouldn't get to play or do anything else until it was gone. Well, that morning he missed out on talking to grandma, watching Max & Ruby and the mid morning yogurt snack. While Cutler was unhappy about missing each of these events I think Boston was even more upset. Bossy felt so bad that Cutler was missing out on everything that he finally said he'd eat the toast for Cutler. I wish I would have taken a picture of Boston's face as he took tiny bite after tiny bite of the way-over-buttered, stale toast, but it's safe to say he was not enjoying it. He was, however, thrilled when he finally finished it, and Cutler could now play Bayblades with us.

A month ago (May 2010)

May is the month when things start to get crazy around here. School starts winding down (which actually means it starts to get busier with Teacher Appreciation Week, which I got to help out with, and end of year teacher gifts, which thanks to my procrastination didn't actually take that much time), practices and recitals start kicking up and Lenny starts traveling for work. Plus there is Mother's Day and both of our mom's birthday's are in May! Lenny was gone for 3 weeks (at least he was home on weekends) so figuring out how to get this all done was a little tricky. Thankfully we have grandma and grandpa down the street to help out when we needed it...and more (Shawna and Bob took over all of Lenny's carpool duties plus some of mine). Like always, we survived the craziness and were able to enjoy seeing how much our children have grown this year and thank those who have helped them along the way.

HaPpy MoTheR's DaY!
Len took care of the kids and let me sleep in as long as possible to still be able to get to church on time - OH! and to eat the delicious breakfast that he made and my cute kids served to me in bed (I'm posting this pic because it's one of the only one's that was taken and I'm sure one day, when I'm much older, I'll be able to look at it without wishing I had combed my hair before it was taken)
Teacher Appreciation Gifts
I loved-loved-loved Jackson and Abby's teachers this year. I wish they could both move up a grade and teach them all over again next year :)

For the last 4 years I've made vinyl signs for the end of school teacher gifts. I didn't get around to it this year so I had to come up with something quick at the last minute. Great Harvest is across the street from Boss's school so I made up some thank you notes before school, dropped Boston off, went across the street and got gift cards and some of their yummy cookies and put together a teacher "Thank You" gift. Nothing says "Thanks" like carbs!
(I can't find pics of the cookies right now so I'll post them later)


Abby loves to pose in her dance outfits.
This one was for her Jazz dance!

After Abby's Dance Recital.
She danced to Kiss 'I wanna Rock and Roll' and totally rocked an air guitar. It was so cute!
