A Post on the Boy

He's had some things going on lately that I need to share.

First, he's still in tennis. Loving it (for now) and doing pretty well, I think.

Second, he moved up from a Wolf to a Bear in scouts! His blue and gold banquet was Star Wars themed, so he and I made light saber kebobs.

Third, he had a Fiesta party at school. They did some traditional singing and dancing for the parents and then we got to dance with them. It was a lot of fun dancing with my boy!

Zombies

The Girl is sometimes preoccupied with zombies. This is a recent observation she made:

"I'm curious about why Heavenly Father didn't give zombies a brain.....Zombies are so stupid".

It's Her First Award

The Girl got her first award at school for being a "Complex Thinker".  She often lives in her own world where, instead of solving the simple problem presented, she is working on something more complicated.

Her teacher gave this example: while the class was discussing a number line counting by ones, the Girl was busy figuring out how to do one counting by twos. Unfortunately, sometimes this makes it seem likes she's totally lost. But really, she has just moved on.

Turning 9

My boy is just growing and growing. And I love it.  And I hate it.

 He decided he wanted to go to Chuck E Cheese with his buddy Finley, have strawberry cupcakes with chocolate frosting from the same gal who made the cupcakes for their baptism, and then come home and play video games and eat Panera to his heart's content.

He's starting to act older, too (sort of, occassionally). Sometimes the things he says surprises me and makes me laugh. I love you, Boy!
