::max's story::

Tonight Max's teacher hosted a story reading for his class. All the kids wrote and illustrated a little story. Then they got to sit up on the stool wearing a beret and read it for the crowd. The stories were so cute and the performances were sweet and hilarious. Max is lucky to have such a great teacher who has helped the kids in his class so much. Some of them couldn't even read at the beginning of the year, and here they were reading stories in front of people. It's great.

We were so proud of Max, his reading and his writing. He's a smart capable guy and it's fun to see that demonstrated for us.
Be sure to watch all the way to the end, the last couple of seconds awesome.

From the little man's perspective.


Good thing we have some interesting ceilings out here, since Mr Sandy gets to look at them an awful lot.


And as a special bonus, the man himself, reaching for the camera as I tried to get the world from his perspective.

He's so cute.

::eggs::

The second to the last of the easter posts...

We decorated some eggs saturday afternoon. I'm pretty impressed with myself that we even did it considering all that was going on. But since Kathy was here and she helped me get all packed, moved and unpacked in a really short period of time, we were able to pull off some egg boiling and decorating.
Max made some of the coolest eggs ever.

He got out his Atlas of the Universe that he earned by reading books at school and made some moons.

Titan, Saturn's biggest moon. And maybe the biggest moon of all, we're just not sure.

Pluto. Not a planet anymore, but instead an awesome easter egg.

I love them!

Hunting for them was fun, but I just enjoyed the moment and took no photos. I'm allowed to do that once in a while, right?

::happy easter pt 3::

We couldn't seem to get one where everybody looked good at once. But that's the beauty of having little kiddos, right?




Little kids making bunny faces that is....
I can't believe the baby put up with the bunny ears for so long. That's pretty amazing.
Thanks for taking the pictures Kathy. At least one of us looked cute in each, and we can't ask for much more than that!

::Happy Easter pt 2::

With Kris's mom. It was so fun to get to spend Easter with her.




I had to post this last one because of Max's face. Evidently he was working hard on making a "bunny face" with his longest front tooth stuck out over his bottom lip. It seems to have been a lot of hard work.

Obviously I should've used a different f stop setting so both of my boys would've been in focus, but oh well. They're cute anyway. I can't get enough of the bunny ears.
Happy Easter day!!
