My three favoritest people ever

Today was pajama day for Elliot at school. Big day. He was so excited he was trying to get me to put his shoes on to leave the house at 7:15am. Bug continues to love her teachers, Sharon and Amy. She talks about them all weekend until she gets to play with them again on Monday mornings.

Monday Elliot goes on his first field trip, on his first yellow school bus, to the Raptor Center. We're all excited.

Revenge

After dinner tonight, Elliot was explaining to us his plans for a mean boy in his class.

Elliot: One mean boy, Campton, calls me stinky pants.

Me: Is this a boy at school in your class?

Elliot: Yeah.

Me: Does he call everybody that?

Elliot: Yeah. So we're going to set him on fire and eat him.

Silence.

Raucous laughter.

Michael convinced small Elliot that maybe forgiveness was a better choice.

Kiddos

My mom took these pictures while they were here for a few days. Dad fixed everything on my list and mom did all kinds of things. We already miss grandma and grandpa!

Do you think we could get away with it?

Doesn't it look like that's what she's saying?

LIttle house?

Hi everybody. Sorry it's been awhile. The students are back so life has gotten EXPONENTIALLY busier. Yaya and Big Papa were here last weekend and brought this very sweet, very prarie looking dress, complete with bonnet. Of course she, being the accessory queen, wore the hat the entire morning, even in the nursery.

More Elliot quotes

This past weekend:

Michael: Elliot, your vocabulary is expanding rapidly.
Elliot: Yeah, I'm a fast learner. (?!)

Elliot and I taking a walk the other day:

Elliot: Mama, can you tell me about the end?
Me: The end of school? The end of the day?
Elliot: No. The end of the world.
Elliot's first lesson in eschatology followed, given by a shocked and inept mama.

It's still pretty hot here...

If I remember correctly from last year, it cools off around February.
