happy birthday, peter!
as i sit here listening to the sounds of my kids, i hear... coughing. cecelia's allergies are out of control and this weather is nuts!
lionel is in the boys' room (with a new set-up: the boys' beds are pushed together and that make for two VERY happy boys!) reading the yearbook to ralph. he is prepping ralph for life at st. elizabeth's, which starts wednesday. ralph is excited and actually HAPPY to go to school. he can't wait to be reunited with all his old buddies from pre-preschool. luke, will, and myles. miss erin is like a dream come true compared to the mess that is the evil miss langston (principal.) we did, however, have a tearful goodbye with ms. fletcher. possibly the best teacher in the kc metro area! we are sad to leave her :(
we went to mass at st. e's; to american girl (just cecelia and me) to barbeque at the wolfe's house, to hang out poolside with susan and her friends from new york, jim and john; to dinner at the weidler's to celebrate peter's birthday: porkfest! pork chops marinated in a few different types of marinade, pickle juice won hands down! i felt like we were living the american dream this whole weekend. it was chock full of bbq's, late nights at the neighbor's house, festivals, bus rides... so fun!
right now, they are looking through the yearbook for 'john bush.' cecelia's name for the presidential candidates (all rolled into one) from 2004, john kerry and george bush. dad just informed them he is 'right there.' lionel said, "really?" and ralph answered, "yeah! he's up in the sky."
cecelia is showing us ralph's 'feature.' he is pictured in a montage in cecelia's first grade yearbook. "yeah. here he is... and he is playing with a marker!"
ralph:" on the rescuers, this bird was like... mayday! mayday!"
lionel: "i know."
ralph: "um... i'm talking to my pengie." "bertend a pillow fell on your pruple bear."
ahh the sounds of playing boys, and a quiet, hormonal girl.
good night and god bless.
