Open House

Ben had open house tonight at school!

He showed me his classroom and all of his art projects.  He has been doing well and the teacher and I had a chance to talk for a minute.  Buddy met us there to meet the teacher and see his classroom, Ben was so happy and proud!

We had a chance to get ready for next week and I got a chance to ask the teacher to remind Ben, there is no school on Friday.

Randonness

First, is randonness even a word?  I don't think so, yet that is exactly what this is.  Completely random happenings from the past 2 weeks.

1. Ben got another Chick Fil A pass because he memorized another Bible verse.  Sept 17th's Bible verse was, "Everybody who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved" Romans 10:13.  He is sooo cute saying it.

2. We hit another milestone and Ben now wears size HUGE underwear! He is very proud of this fact.

3. He has decided he wants to adopt Billie the dog, and has asked for everybody to pray for this.  He wants a dog very badly, but right now we do not have the time to devote to a dog, which means it would be unfair to bring an animal to our house.  He knows this but it's hard to understand at 4 years old.

4. Ben has been doing good in school and having fun at home with Mommy, Granny and Buddy!

More to come- hopefully some pictures too!

Wednesday

Wednesday, my baby went to school and said his memory bible verse. 

He got a Chick Fil A free ice cream pass.

Here he is------>

HOMEWORK!

So, I am beginning to feel the joys of the dreaded, H word.  Yes, folks. We had our first homework battle today!

I had no idea what I was going to do.  So, much to my dismay, I ended up doing 95% of the homework while Ben played.  It turned out something like this--------->

The corner that is cut off says, that his pet is a goldfish.  Technically he has 4 tetras, but they don't have fun stickers of tetras.  Only goldfish.

He wants to be a Nurse when he grows up because that way he can spend time with his Granny.  Granny is a nurse too and that way they can ride to work together and drink hot chocolate.

Oh and by the way- I drew that awesome pizza in the corner.  Then Ben water color painted the washable marker.  YAY for being 4 and not quite getting it.  But it's still awesome, because I have mad drawing skills.

I don't know how well you can see it, but I also know how much you LOVE the kick butt picture of me, in which half my hair is in my face.  Ugh, I need to lose weight.

And for the record, he actually owns a Superhero book, actually more like 5 of them.  So he's not lying about the book.  And he traced "Green" all by himself! What a big big boy!

After we finished homework, we went to go see the "Last Airbender".  Which by the way, wasn't that great.  But it was a great waste of an hour and a half.  And it only wasted 4 dollars for 4 tickets! WOOT!

I am amazed at this child- constantly! He is my love, my life and my world!

Uncle Mike's Birthday

Okay so I have not updated this a few days, I'm sorry.  My brother came to town and I tried to spend some time with him.  I also did this thing called- catch up on sleep! HAHA. 

Anyway, we celebrated my "baby" brother's 23rd birthday last night.  Here are the pictures.  Please note the Soccer players on his birthday are from his 7th birthday! My mom kept them all these years! What a great mom to keep such random things.My mom was so happy to be able to spend some time with my brother before his birthday, and mostly before he goes back to Chicago for duty.

I was happy for the time that we did get to spend together, however, I too would have liked for it to have been more.  At least, Ben got to see Uncle Mike again too! He had a ton of fun with the time that he did see him. 

Hopefully soon, we can make a trip to go see Uncle Mike! We love him so much!
