Isaac's Math

Isaac loves math. And I love that Isaac loves math. I'm so proud of him, it makes me so happy. Last night Isaac was sitting on his bed doing math in a math workbook and I told him it was time to go to sleep and he politely pled with me, "Mommy, can I please do my math problems?" Uh, yeah! So I gave him 10 more minutes. Then this evening he was working in the workbook again and Chad said it was time for homework and he threw a fit and cried that he wanted to keep doing his math. Ha! I love it! And I hope he keeps this love of math with him throughout his life.

Adventures in sleep-walking

Debbie sleep-walks. Normally it's pretty funny. Tonight it was disturbing. She went to the bathroom. In the bathroom. But somehow managed to sit ON the free-standing toilet paper roll holder and pee. Gross! She soaked the whole roll of toilet paper! And I'm blogging about this as blackmail for her in the future.

Truth

"Ugh, behaving is HARD."

Yearly Pictures

I can't believe it's been a year since I took 'school pictures' of the kids. [It's so much easier and cheaper if I do it myself.]

I'm pretty happy with how they turned out. It took less than 30 minutes and I got at least one picture of each kid that I really liked.

 I'm surprised we were able to get any cute pictures of Isaac, he was being a booger and didn't want to cooperate, but we got some cute ones!

 Less than an hour after this picture was taken Cosette decided she wanted a haircut and cut her own hair. Again. Thankfully she didn't cut very much off so now she has a cute little bob.

I told the girls to give Isaac a kiss on the cheek and he flipped out. Not happy about it.

Call Me Maybe?!?!

So I was sitting outside chatting with friends thursday while the kids played when I got a call on my cell from a number I didn't recognize. I answered it only to hear this little voice ask if this was Debbie's mom and then ask to talk to Debbie. I called Debbie over and told her she had a phone call and she matter-of-factly said, "Oh, that's Talmage, he's calling because we're going to have a playdate." Then she took the phone from me and promptly walked off to chat with Talmage. I was so shocked! First of all, she gave her number to a boy, and then he wasted no time in calling her! After about 5 minutes I convinced her to give me the phone so I could talk to his mom and I got on the phone in time to hear Talmage's mom in the background saying, "Wait, you called her ALREADY?" Haha, these kids were ready to do this! So Debbie had a playdate at Talmage's house yesterday. I guess his mom volunteers in their class and when Debbie found out she was his mom she hurried and wrote down her number AND ADDRESS and said, 'call me.' What?!? Where did this girl come from?!? I only wish I had a tiny bit of her confidence.
