Learning and losing

Nicole put her nose to the grindstone and in three days learned to ride her bike! hooray!! I ran along beside her just to reasure her the last two days

Christian was getting a little shaggy so we cut a hole in a plastic bag and stuck it over him

He looks a little worried... Nicole was begging me to give him a Mohawk I was considering it

nicole was photographer and went for the artsy shot see the bag? he was all sweaty ewww...

Stuff Sacks and Sunflowers

We were cleaning the room Again when Nicole asked me "whats that bag?" I replied "It's a stuff sack" that of course led to all the bru-ha-ha "What is a stuff sack?" she had to ask. so I showed her! Christian was all for helping so he got it too!

On another Note'

Nicole is a budding artist, here is a class work she did, they are sunflowers. If you look carefully you will see the smallest plant is actually a sprout, " thats a baby plant " she talls me.

she draws all the time, and is very imaginative as

to her subject matter , hamsters (cute) vampires pirates

(scary) and lots of aliens,

look how industrius these guys are! Christian is doing homework Nicole is drawing. they generaly get their homework done pretty soon after school.

Christan has been elected to fourth grade student council. there is alot of reading in elementary school. we are currently reading The Hobbit as our night time story, Nicole falls asleep before I finish reading each night. Christian doesn't he would stay up all nigh t if i let him.
