Scary words

Steve:  "Let's go and take the wheels off the lawn mower and add them to the car we're building."

Oh my.

This is what they've worked on while Sarah has been at camp.  They are hoping to finish it today.  Wondering what it will look like by the time I get home. 

Hope I don't get a phone call to meet them at the emergecy room.

Hard to beat...

Here is my view from my friend's lakehouse on Eagle Mountain Lake.  24 hours away from home.  Eating.  Talking.  Laughing.  And a little digital scrapbooking, too.

Slumber party

Sometimes my kids like to sleep in the living room. On this particular occasion, Sarah was in the chair with the ottoman and Shane was on the couch.  I love how our cat is also attending in her little bed.

                                                  
Here is a picture of all three of them.



     And here is Oreo, later in the night.  She has "fallen" out of her bed.

Shane's sentences

Here are a few sentences that Shane wrote near the end of kindergarten.

Sarah's similies

In an effort to clean up my study, I am scanning in my kids' school work so that I can throw it away.  Once I scan it in, I put it in a digital scrapbook, or I print the image as a wallet or 4X6 picture.  Then, I can fit a school year's worth of work on one page. 

One of Sarah's assignments was to write similes about themselves.  Each similie was written on a flap that you could open, revealing a picture underneath.  The flaps were pretty tattered so it wouldn't scan, but here are her similies and the picture:

I'm as cute as a new born baby.
I'm as sassy as a diva at a fashon show.
I'm as nice as a red blooming rose.
I'm as silly as a squirrel with lots of nuts.
I'm as smart as a scientist that just discovered somthing new.
I'm as crazy as a monkey with 14 bananas.
