Star Student

Last Week it was Carson's turn to be the star student. When you are the star student you get to make a poster all about you, bring in your favorite snack, and bring a few of your favorite toys for show and tell. Carson has been looking forward to being the star student all year! On his poster Carson listed 3 things he would wish for they were: a fish (he said he misses his fish that died 2 years ago. Who knew?), a pet dinosaur, and a star wars ship (I'm not sure if this is a real ship or just a Lego one). On his poster Carson said when he grows up he wants to be a dragon or a army pilot. Things Carson listed that he disliked were: being sick, jellyfish, the dark, giants, and cavities (Carson has never even had a cavity, but apparently our description of them has been terrifying enough that cavities made the list). The list of Carson's likes included: pancakes, Lego's, star wars, volcano's, sharks, whales, dinosaurs, the Seattle Seahwaks (his football team last fall), his family, fishing, and tanks. Lincoln of course didn't want to be left out of all the fun, so we made a poster for him to. Lincoln wished for a buzz (he seriously has 5 already), magformers (which we have close to 100 of) and a rocket ship. Lincoln wants to make dinner when he grows up. Lincolns likes included: magformer ships, cookies, and . . . buzz (shocker). The only thing that Lincoln said he didn't like was Carson tickling him. We have the funniest sweetest boys! They are definitely stars at our house.

Spring Break & RSV

Spring Break wasn't exactly what I had been hoping for. Carson slept in the first morning until 9:30! Which is unheard of for him. I know my kids well enough to know that excessive tiredness is usually a sign of trouble ahead. It turned out that the kids had been exposed to RSV and didn't feel well the rest of the week. Lily was hit especially hard and I spent two fun filled nights with her screaming in my ear for a couple hours. On the good side at least it was Spring Break and we really didn't have any where we needed to go; on the bad side we spent a lot of time vegging around the house. I did make an attempt to make the break fun for the kids. We got some new paints and coloring books and painted, we decorated Easter eggs, we watched movies and we went to the zoo. By the time we went to the zoo the boys were not fully recovered but feeling much better. Lily on the other hand still felt pretty crummy but she tolerated the zoo trip fairly well. Here's hoping next Spring Break will be a healthy one.
