We are officially out of our Northwood house and living with Yaya and Papa. So far, 5 days into it, we are all having a wonderful time! The kids are so excited every time we return home to run inside and yell for Papa or Yaya. The are getting so much attention and there seems to be a non-stop stream of activities going on here. The summer is going to fly by.
Jack graduated from Safety Town today. He seemed to enjoy it. Particularly driving the cars around the small town. He had two teenage kids as his 'helpers' and seemed to enjoy them, too.
Yesterday, Mallie was riding her bike up and down the driveway yelling, 'Hibernation Coming FrooOo!" When I asked her what she was tlaking about, she replied, "Hibernation! I'm waking up the bears that are sweeping, you know, HIBERNATION!?" That cleared it up!
Annie has decided that naps are not for her anymore. The problem is that she would be ready for a nap in the afternoon....but will not fall asleep until 10:30pm if she takes one. Luckily, Annie doesn't get too crabby when she gets tired. However, she does get slap-happy. You can look at her with raised eyebrows at bed time and she erupts into hysterics with tears in her eyes. If you kiss her little neck, you would think she was going to die of laughter. It's my favorite time with her. She'll also say, "Mooooommmmmeeeee!"
Jack is completely into super heroes right now. Papa brought some comic books home for him yesterday and he's in heaven. He and Papa have also been having a competition over the NBA play-offs this week. Jack's a big fan of Kobe and the Lakers and Papa liked the Celtics. Jack was thrilled to let Papa know that his team won it all last night! :)
This summer is the "Summer of Responsibility". We are working on dressing ourselves, making our beds, Brushing our teeth, cleaning up after ourselves and clearing our places after we eat. We even have a song that goes to the tune of "Comet, it makes your mouth turn green".... "Summer, of responibility!....summer of responsibility. Summer....It's not a bummer, when you have some jobs to do" Sometimes the kids will run off when they are finished eating and I'll have to call them back to clear their places. Mallie always runs back and says, "Oh yeah, it's summer of responsibility!!" And then sings the song. :)
