Honor Roll, Bear & Sesame, and Easter Pics

Peter made the Honor Roll again! He really works hard on his schoolwork and rarely do I have to make sure it's all done anymore. I will attribute it to the fact that I let him fail at a book report: He was supposed to have it done, I knew it was supposed to be done, but he told me it wasn't due until the next week. Well, he came home from Wednesday night church and was very upset because it turned out I was right and the report was due that day. Soooo, I helped him finish it (I did not do it for him. I only read the report to him so that he could write it down in complete sentences. He was so upset that if he tried to do it by himself, he would just make more mistakes and get more frustrated). We talked about getting things done in a timely manner. Since then, he has made the Honor Roll twice and I don't have to bug him about homework!

I also tried my hand at hair clippers! You'll see my handiwork in the picture below where Peter looks like Wolf-Boy. This child's hair is so thick that if I don't keep it trimmed, he overheats. So instead of paying to get his hair cut all the time, I invested in clippers that will pay for themselves in 2 haircuts. Rick won't let me do his hair though...coward.

Caroline has found a new friend down the streeet. Abby and Caroline get along very well and play together pretty nicely. While I was at the awards assembly for Peter, Abby's mom watched Caroline for me. Apparently, she wanted to watch "Bear and Sesame."


What??



For those who have seen Jungle Book, you might be able to decipher the title of the song, "Bear Necessities"


Yep. That is Caroline's title for Bear Necessities: Bear and Sesame. Cute eh?

Here's some pictures from Easter this year. The dress Caroline is wearing is from my friend, Michelle. It has the beautiful ladybug clippy and a ladybug purse to match! Way too cute!

Talking with Daddy on the phone. Note the newborn diaper on Kitty.

Peter will be testing for his blue belt in May. Also, Rick will be going to Dubai in May. Yep, Dubai. And yes, he will be working in the tallest tower in the world-but he'll be working in the basement of that tower, which suits him just fine, thank you. He will get a tour of the tower, I'm sure and he will be bringing a camera so I'll post those when he comes back.

Summer is coming!! Yay! We're going to go to the pool, the beach, the pool, the zoo perhaps, the pool...did I mention the pool?
