Dash told me this morning, that their class had crazy hair day today. I told him he had to let me do my thing — because we only had 5 minutes before the car left.
So in 5 minutes…I present…
Mr. Sunshine…Mr. Golden Sun…Please shine down on HIM!
Mr. Sunshine
Star Students
I think Britni and I were both impressed that these twinners could sit so still and listen to their “teacher”.
We told Pippi to keep teaching…all night long!
Problem Solver
When there were ear-piercing beeps, Scout saved the day. He got a new battery, then balanced a ladder on top of our block holder, and carefully replaced the battery.
Part of me was very sketched. But that was overshadowed by how impressed I was with his capability.
Strict
When Pippi “teaches” we die laughing, because she is one strict mama! She is very patient and kind, and then she goes into her Chinese, and starts getting really frustrated with her “students”! It is hilarious.
I took my camera out and snapped a picture, because at this moment, she went into her Chinese tirade, and then pointed at one of her stuffed animals, and said, “IT IS CALLED RESPECT! R-E-S-P-E-C-T!!!” Then some more Chinese followed to finish it off!
She is classic. But it is eye opening to see what she is hearing and seeing at school!
Haha!
Witch Heels
When Pippi got high heels for Christmas, she was so excited. Who knew that they would be her go to shoe for the next few months.
Even today — when she went to school. I was sure I would get a call from the teacher for me to bring different shoes to Pippi…but I got no such call. In fact, I had several parents tell me how they were so impressed with how well Pippi could walk and run in high heels. Her teacher said that was planning on calling if Pippi complained, but that Pippi didn’t miss a beat with her witch heels! When I picked her up from school, she was beaming with pride over her day in “high boot heels”.
See what I mean!
Tonight, she was in a completely different outfit, and what do you know — she was in her high heels…sound asleep on the floor!
Bath Dates
This girl wants a special date every single day. But not just ANY special date. A special date in the bath, where we use good smelling bubbles, put on face masks, and put on a youtube video that talks about good skincare regimens.
And every single day she asks for this type of special date — I’m in!
Gaining
Navy is gaining on Great Grandma!
We think the height race is neck and neck, but it won’t be long before Navy is looking down to have a face to face with her Great Grandma.
Uh Oh!
Kid Painting
We tried to take pictures, so we can have someone paint a picture of the kids. We like the idea of it being on the beach, where the kids are in action. And although we loved the colors in this photo, and the lighting was great…this is the best we got — and we aren’t sure it is exactly what we want.
So we will try, try again.
Jerk Alert
I wasn’t sure why I heard weird sounds out of the boy’s bedroom.
But then I saw this:
And then this:
Apparently, when Dash was hiding from Scout, Dash got played by Scout with a stick through the handles of Dash’s closet.
Scout thought it was hilarious.
I say…”jerk alert!”
Come Follow Me Discovery
Come Follow Me is a very bittersweet thing in my life. Sometimes, it generates amazing discussions and insights. Sometimes it is straight out of the circus!
Today, after I - the ringleader of the circus - tried to teach and discuss, Pippi insisted that she teach a part by herself. Pippi’s part was long — really long. I think we were all zoning out a bit, when she exclaimed something! We all perked up to what she called her “discovery”.
When she had all of our attention, she said, “I just figured out when he raised his hand to answer my question, that Scout has armpit hair!!!”
We were dying!
Who knew!!
