Count your blessings.

Just some everyday moments I have come to treasure. It seems like they are growing up so fast I can't even blink or I'll miss something.

Malachi has started a craft wall in his room with all the "Independent Work" he dose in class. The ten monsters on the right are his pride and joy he is working hard to get the whole collection. He loves school and his teacher.

Last night I was calling for Abby to come in the house and Malachi said "Abby listen to your mother just like I have to listen to my teacher" Abby's craft wall isn't so big. She loves to make and share her projects while Malachi insists on keeping every picture he colors for himself. She is wearing a mask she made all on her own out of a paper bowl.
The kids are very excited for their new little sister. Most of Abby's day revolves around what she is going to do when her baby sister get here. This is a bed she made in the middle of her floor for her sister to sleep on when she gets here. She is also allowing the baby to use her soft bunny to sleep with.

My visiting teachers came by the other day to see how I was filling. As we talked we watched the kids take random objects outside. Malachi came in at one point and asked me to make a sign that said "we do everything but food!"and "3 quarters to watch Malachi whip an alligator" I had a horrible headache and told him he could make his own sign and it would be great. Curiosity got the best of us and we headed outside to see what was going on. They had a circus on the front lawn. Melissa couldn't pass up a chance to see Kye whip an alligator so she fished 3 quarters out of her purse. Kye informed her he couldn't find an alligator so he was going to whip a lion and it was only 2 quarters. Below is Malachi with his Indiana Jones whip and the lion. He whipped that lion good we couldn't stop laughing. Melissa paid the full 3 quarters. She said it was defiantly worth 3 quarters. I wish I had my video camera and could watch it over and over. Malachi was the ring master but Abby was a "clown dancer"! She did so many cool tricks this one is is the "wingo tingeo" (ringer tinger she can't say her R's) Next they did a trick together "First you hold hands then you run" "then you flip"(still holding hands) "and then you ride the teeter totter." They also had bobbing for fruit snacks and cups of water for $1.00. It was a fun circus I wish you all could have attended. It was a wonderful cure for my headache.

I am sorry I didn't mean to make fun of you. I think you are smarter than me most of the time. It just made me laugh that I am not the only one who uses spell check from time to time. Ok so I use it all the time.
