the boys

yesterday, while getting ready for soccer, lionel was VERY upset about putting on his shoes
lionel: dad!  i HATE the cleaks, they are too tight!
dad: mom?  lionel wants you to know... his cleaks are too tight.

when picking up ralph at the weidlers ("weilers") he showed me his latest find
ralph: mom!  look!  i found a thamonator!
jenny: i wondered where my thermonitor went...

ralph's song (one of many)

miss erin: ralph, you have hardly worked in your workbook at all!  now is the time!  during this time, i'd like for you to take your workbook over there and get some work done in it.

ralph: fine!  (to the tune of "i've been working on the railroad...") i've been working in my workbook... (then, angrily) all the DING-DANG day!!

miss erin: (*gasp*) ralph!

tonight at dinner, as we give thanks to God, lionel leaned over to me to ask if he could repeat last night's thanks... "thank you for making me realize the computer is not everything."

spring has sprung!

i had to work today, so jonathan was filling me in on what i missed.

he said the kids were ALL excited

to see a pair of cardinals out a window, one boy and one girl.

cecelia said they were on a date.
