Slumber party

Cousins' slumber party happening now. They are all tucked in, bedtime stories told. I wonder how long it will take them to fall asleep. 
Harry Potter!

Our girl on Christmas Day

Criss Cross Applesauce

We asked Lauren to sit cross-legged on the rug. Here is her version.

Jog-a-thon

Jack the jogger ran 10 laps in 5 minutes!  He had such a great time!  He also raised over $300 for his school thanks to all our generous friends and family!  Anyone still interested in donating, I don't turn in our donations until next week, so there's still time. These photos show his reaction to getting his participation certificate at the end of the race. Ribbon, cool. Certificate for a yogurt parfait at McDonalds, AWESOME!  Doesn't get much cuter than that.

First Day of Kindergarten

Today was Jack's first day of kindergarten.  He loved it.  His teacher, Mrs. Kubota, is wonderful.  He already told us that he will miss her when he has to go to a new class one day.  In his class this year, he has one friend from tae kwon do and another friend from preschool.  He is also thrilled that the school's mascot is a lion, just like Harry Potter's school, Gryffindor.  We all walked to school together as a family this morning to drop him off.  Rob and I both held it together, but some parents had a pretty rough time at drop off--one especially burly fellow was furiously wiping away the tears as they flowed like a river.  We returned at pick up and Jack was all smiles.  We surprised him with a Happy Meal lunch (his favorite, NOT ours) and a trip to Target for a new backpack. It was the best day ever.
