Yoda goes to preschool

 So there's a pre-preschool at Mimi's old preschool.  I decided that Yoda might be bored at home with just me, so I signed him up.  For the top picture I said:"Smile for your first day of school!" and this was the result=feeling a little unsure. 

But for this second picture I said:"smile for daddy!"  

Just if you're curious, he didn't sit in circle time, clean up any toys, line up, wear his name tag, or talk to any of his teachers--all things that all the other children did perfectly.  He did sing the songs during singing time, but only from across the room.

(I know all this because parents attend the first day of school with their children.)

The second day the teachers said he did great, I think they are just good liars :)

Mimi, pointing to different teeth in her mouth:"This is a baby tooth, this is a grown-up tooth.  And this [pointing to a tooth just starting to come in] is a teenager tooth!"

A long time ago Parker learned what an open-face sandwich is,but must have forgot how to say it.  So the other day when Yoda stole the top slice of bread from Parker's ham and cheese sandwich, he said:"I'll just eat it face-less."

It's official, Greg and I meet exactly 18 years ago today.  That means I've now known him exactly as 1/2 of my life!

Yoda is really into Monster Trucks right now.  He loves watching the History Channel documentary about them.

Here he is acting out a Monster Truck making a jump over some smaller cars--and singing "It's a Mighty Mega Monster Truck!"

*Sorry for the squeaky sound from the camera*

(when one of our children is being cranky we will sometimes call them "crank-master")

Parker:"Can I have this?"
Me:"Only if I can call you crank-master."
Parker (who knows the difference between a master and an apprentice):"I'm not a crank-master, I'm a crank-apprentice!"

Yoda helped bring in the groceries and this is what he did with them :) 

Rascally Rabbit

One night Valerie came home from the store. When she opened the garage door she saw a rabbit staring back at her. From inside the garage.

Greg came out and they went through the garage one square foot at a time. Moving our stuff and looking for rabbits. He finally found the rabbit and saw it run away.

Or so he thought.....

Later that night Valerie and Greg went into the garage to find some tools.  Valerie noticed a bit of dark fluff among the white paint rollers.

The rabbit was hiding like a Kindergartener.  Front end hidden and back end not so much.

We left the occupied paint roller out in the front yard, shut the garage door and turned off the porch light.  In the next hour, the rabbit joined his friends.
