Gift #293- Carnival Food!


Yesterday was the Spring carnival at school.  The kids had snow cones, cotton candy, and popcorn for dinner.  They were in heaven.  Between the four of them. they won 5 cakes at the cake walk!  I guess one of the benefits to having such a large family is that you can really stack the deck at a cake walk!  Sam's sugar high seemed to have lasted throughout the night.  He put on his red plaid shirt and his green plaid shorts again this morning.  He added a pair of swim goggles to enhance the look and then began running around the house saying "I am swimming and there is no water."  I usually try to post only our best moments, but sometimes I think that we need to be reminded of the snow cone for dinner nights and "swimming with no water" mornings.  :0)

Gift 292- My Lunch Date


Sam stayed home "sick" today from school.  He didn't seem so sick as he was eating his french fries and ice cream!  It is rare to get to spend time alone with each of the kids.  So today, we took full advantage.

Gift #290- Teamwork



Hank arrived home yesterday just in time to help Jack with his cardboard convention invention.  I was very grateful for his return.  Building a body and a ramp for a RC car is just not my area.  Sometimes a boy just needs his dad.
