On the skin

The bloody elbow.
Up

Phil makes it look easy.
The girls wait.

On the town

Liam colors the most beautiful.

Snow White part two

Here he watches the dwarfs cry.
Here he watches the prince meet snow white.
Here he sits and celebrates the wedding.
Here he sits and watches the evil queen die.
And he stands for the big bow.

Snow White

Liam played the King in the first grade production of Snow White. It involved lots of sitting on his part.
Here he sits sporting his home-made Yo Gabba Gabba shirt.
Here he sits and watches the evil queen.
Here he sits obviously interested in something.
Here he sits watching a girl jump.

Our Town: Chelsea

Caleb performed in Our Town: Chelsea. It was what it sounds like, a rip off of Our Town. The kids wrote the play and it was based on Chelsea history. Yes, Ethan Allen was involved.
Caleb did a great job.
I couldn't hear what these girls were saying half the time, Project.

Billing's farm (with mom)

Snack time in the barn.
Liam enjoyed watching/petting the cows. However- when this one came to the fence and started scratching her neck on the post- Liam jumped back because he did not want her to "rub her itch on him."
This is one of the old fashioned toys we played with that day- dropping the clothes pin into the bucket. Liam showed me how to cheat at all of the games, and then said that cheating makes you lose.
He finds snow indoors. ("Can I touch it, mom?")

D's day

Like i've said before, D does not believe in inside recess. What's a little rain gonna hurt?
Handwriting work.
D gets it done in the classroom. No longer do others kids in the classroom throw off his concentration, he can even work with his peers.
D takes a minute before beginning math.

Mt. Cardigan

We hiked Mt. Cardigan yesterday. D and i take off, is that hairline receding?
Chloe waits.
It was as cold and wet as it looks.
Last year you could see for miles from the top, this year not so much.

Random shots

Wills has creamies again, Gretchen is pleased.
Now that's a heart attack.
Yo Gabba Gabba!
I refuse to acknowledge the produce behind me.
