Top ten for the end of June

1. "HockeyEagle"....this is what Sam says everytime he sees a large bird. We think he is saying "Hawk or Eagle?" but it just comes out like hockey eagle!
2. The turtle....Luke loves reptiles. He begs everyday for some new pet. He seems to think that Mommy will one day let him have a scorpian or snake if he just begs enough. NOT GONNA HAPPEN! He was thrilled when we showed him the turtle we found in the yard.
3. Grant....the teachers pet. They had two VBS's this week, one in the morning and one at night. Of course each teacher pulled me aside to tell me what an angel Grant is and how they have never met such a well behaved child before. What a joy he is to have in class! Who is this Grant and when will he visit our house?? Just teasing. He has been especially helpful these last few weeks. He loves to clean and will do any job I give him. His favorite is cleaning the window and mirrors with windex.
4 SUPER SAMMY!!! Samuel found the superman cape in the dressup box and now he wears it everywhere. People just think it is adorable. He tells me everytime we leave that he is on the way to "rescue someone"! *usually L&G from Bible school*
5. Lukes b-day. We had a nice family party at home. We are hoping to do his actual party with friends in July. Joe has had to work the last few weekends so there hasn't been a good time to have one. I can't believe he is 8! He is almost up to my chin now, and will be passing me soon I'm sure. He got lots of great toys for his birthday. His new scooter keeps him occupied outside, and the new lego sets keep him happy inside. He will spend hours putting them together!
6. Karsten....is a little less of a chicken now and is taking more steps. He is also a little jibber jabber when none of the other boys are around. He loves to grab things off of counters and as of right now the tv remote has been missing 3 days. Karsten please tell us where you put it!
7. KungFu Panda...I took all 4 boys to see this movie on Lukes B-day. I think the last first run movie I took the boys to was the Robots movie (a long time ago!). They thought it was super cool. Now they want everything with the characters on it. They also think they are kungfu masters!
8. Science experiments.... Luke got a science kit so we've been doing experiments. They love to watch things change colors and fizz. One vbs was a science theme, so they've been making lots of slimey creations!
9. Anytime I'm in the car with Sammy he begs to go see Joe. He seems to have a great sense of direction to. He will yell "NO don't go that way, go to Daddy's office!!!"
10.Only 2 more months until school is back in!
