Baking Shane's B-Day Cake

We had fun making the cake, but I forgot to add baking soda so together, the 2-layers were about an inch high. It still got eaten.

My Kid in a Box

Back to School Night

At Back to School Night, after the teacher gave her short talk about the upcoming year, she asked if any of the kids had questions. Claire's hand shot up and Miss Ann called on her. "Yes, Claire, do you have a question?" "My Daddy has a birthday present!" Great. Next kid with a question, "I like Indiana Jones!" That put an fairly quick end to the questions portion of the evening.

I don't think I could be a teacher of 4 year-olds without losing my mind (to say nothing of my patience) within seconds.

You're in the army now

We gave Gavin a buzz with the #1 guard on the clippers. He saw his Babu getting a haircut and said (actions, not words...still struggling with words) that he wanted one too. Claire said he was so handsome with his new 'do that she had to collapse in the grass.
