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.

First day of school

Day #1 of Pre-K was great! Ms. Brooke personally brought Elliot to my car in the carpool line. She said, 'Oh, he was precious. He was perfect!' Seems he's better at school than at home. Better that way, I guess. He had a great time.

Then he made the day a RED LETTER DAY by pooping on the potty for the first time!

It's been a great day, to say the least!

The water war

Hi. If you want to see some of the water war that went down in our back yard this morning, click here.

Happy Birthday Elliot!

Elliot's 4th birthday was lots of fun, especially if you were a little person who liked to get wet. Elliot got a new airplane from papa, a birthday crown from school, and water balloons with his best friends. Here's Anna Kate enjoying her 2nd piece of cake. Papa got a little wet in the water war, and was the hidden object in a strategic game of hide and seek.

We like 4. 4 is better than 3, so far.
