Life Lesson Learned....

Wallpaper and three year old's don't mix!! Back in August of 2004 with Seanie still in the womb, I lovingly put up his cool truck and car giant wallpaper border. I was so happy to be doing a cute, little boy, theme!..here is a picture the day i finished...

but, alas, yesterday Sean and I ripped it down. He has been slowly ripping it down himself and I finally resigned myself that it was beyond repair.....So now we'll just paint the bottom half blue too :( He had the best room in the house!!! (Derk thinks we should just redecorate completely and change it to a sports theme...)

Friday Night Fun....

Eclipse Watching....

We had an AMAZING view of the lunar eclipse last night.....

Sean couldn't stand the excitement!!

Grace and Molly were thrilled though. Grace just finished a unit on the solar system in school so the eclipse was very timely...

Words to warm a mom's heart....

"Mom, this book is getting really good!"

said by this lovely lady.....

Fun with Digi Stuff...

I've been experimenting with some digi downloads lately...this could be addicting!

BTW, Molly had her First Reconciliation last night. A big deal for the second graders...their first sacrement since baptism. They strongly encourage parents to participate along with their child. I am happy to report we both survived :)

Its a Favorite Time in Our House...

I Guess He's Paying Attention......

Clearly, I need to watch my expressions around Seanie a bit more closely. The other day we were talking and he said "Don't kill me. Don't kill me." I have been wondering where he had gotten that until I caught myself saying "I am going to kill you." under my breath when he was dripping red popsicle juice all over the carpet! I can't imagine what his preschool teachers must think....

Perhaps its not so cruel.....

Grace had her last regular season meet this past weekend....This time she FELL off the beam. It's the first time since her first ever meet she has fallen...She was a bit upset, which was hard to watch from the stands. Anyway, she went on to win floor and bars and finished second in the all around!!! She's got some intestinal fortitude this child of ours :) It's on to the State Championship Meet in March....

Finally....

Happy Friday!

I keep forgetting to mention that Derk is up for "Dad of the Year" Award! He took the girls to see the Hannah Montana 3D Movie last Sunday (Superbowl Sunday), the place was packed and he was the only Dad there.....
