Mr. Blue-Eyes is doing 1st grade this year. We started a few weeks ago, but I've been a BIT lazy about the blogging, so I'm finally putting up a picture. Here he is doing his math wearing his new pirate costume. (We found these in the Halloween section at Costco, and we don't even do Halloween around here, but I know I'll get my money's worth out of these!)Mr. Blue-Eyes is also receiving piano lessons this year from Yours Truly. He's been wanting to learn for a while, so I finally got the books and we're giving it a go. In the picture, Miss Cupcake is "helping" him with his practice. She LOVES the piano and is drawn toward it like a magnet when anyone sits down to play....including me, which means I'm not practicing much these days. At least, not without wrestling a baby in my lap at the same time...or listening to her screech from her Jumperoo.
Boo-Boo decides to "do school" with us every few days and pulls out either the coloring books or his own Pre-K workbook to dabble a bit. He doesn't usually last too long, but he enjoys the feeling of belonging, I guess.
He's the one with the huge imagination, though. Last night, he gave us a rather lengthy run-down on his family. Not us. HIS family. His wife - Elizabeth. His children - Sarah, Claudia, Caleb and Zachary. His cat - Jasper. And a couple of dogs, I think. Oh, and this morning, there was a baby in the mix as well. I guess Elizabeth gave birth during the night? Or he just forgot about the baby last night? Not sure about that one.
Not to be outdone, his older brother invented a family for himself as well and informed us of all their names. Hmm, can I remember?
Wife - Caroline
Son - Jack (nicknamed Mike) ??!??!?
Daughter - oh man, I just can't remember
Anyway, it was rather amusing. I realize that you might not find it so amusing or even interesting at all. But maybe it's good for a laugh?
