#2 is a poet...

For Mother's Day #2 gave me a book of poems. The first one was a name poem. I am not including all of it but it included words to describe himself such as Hungry, Dangerous and Electrifying. The second one was a poem about video games. Each poem he wrote was assigned to be in a certain style. This one is the two word style.

Video Games

Video Games,
are awesome,
have exploding,
have ratings,
are fun,
are easy,
are cool,
are hard.

See how he captures the dual nature of video games being easy and hard?
Next, a color poem...

Green

Green is a light saber.
Green is the color of my eyes.
Green is the color of Yoda.
Green is my Mom's favorite color.

Then a poem about the sun which was written following the shape of the sun, including words going off into the rays of the sun. Just writing the words would not do it justice. You would have to see it.

Lastly, a diamond poem titled Mom Dad

Mom
Nice, Happy
Cooks, Sleeps, Works, Eats
Tall, Smart
Dad
See why its called a diamond poem?
I also got lovely cards from my other boys, and a fridge magnet made specially for me by #3, who also brought me heart shaped cards and snowflakes he made throughout the day.
D cooked all the meals today, AND did the dishes. All in all, it was a good Mother's Day.

Let them be little

I made this video/slideshow about three years ago when I was first learning how to use video editing software. Its not award winning, but it makes me feel good, and it has all five of the boys in it. I hope you enjoy it!

What could be better than a free pet?

Two of them! A while back I wrote about our snail Claireford going the way of all the earth (i.e. he/she croaked). I also mentioned that after Claireford's untimely demise there was a mysterious tiny little slug-like creature in the tank. Thinking it may have been a baby snail with an undeveloped shell, I kept it for several weeks, but eventually I gave up on it being a snail and set it free. I know that snails and slugs are pretty much the same thing, but I just can't stomach the thought of feeding slugs for some reason. Snails, I can handle. Near the start of the school year I was walking home from the school with #3 and #4 and I chanced upon a snail crossing the sidewalk. I stopped the boys and had them come and look at it. My intention was to look at it, and then let it go on its slow but merry way. Then I saw a second snail just off of the sidewalk, and I couldn't resist. #1 was pretty sad when Claireford died ( Claireford is named after Cliff and Claire Hu

School Picture Time...

Image
We stopped ordering school pictures a couple of years ago. This was mostly because school pictures just plain SUCK. They rush the kids through there like cattle and as long as their eyes are open, the rest of the picture doesn't matter. The first year we moved here the photographer that does the school pictures forgot to clean his camera lens and every kid had this thing on their face that looked like a mole or dirt...EVERY kid. We sent our kids for retakes, but due to a miscommunication #1 didn't get to do the retake and we were stuck. I think we returned the pictures, but I am not sure. Aside from dirt encrusted lenses, there are the lovely vacant expressions, weird smiles and yes, even a snarl once that was deemed worthy by the photographer to be printed into school pictures. I haven't even gotten to the cost yet. The package we would normally purchase costs about $24.00 I can print the same number of pictures (minus the 8 useless mini pictures that are about the size o
