A real update

Yeah, I know. I'll try this blogging thing again. As an actual update this time! With no grammar! (Well, barely any.)

First, another kiddo quote.
J: What kind of animal do you think Buzzy is?
C: A bunny!
A: I think he's just a pretend character.


Now, on to the actual update. I am too lazy to send out a proper email right now, so this way I can post a little bit & say I'll come back later to post more. Hah. Hah. :p

G is 19 lbs. Yes, those numbers are correct. 19. C is only 26 or 27. A can barely carry him now.

I like knitting. It is relaxing. But I need to not pick patterns that are insanely difficult, lol.

This week we discovered Axe Cop. http://axecop.com/index.php/acepisodes/read/episode_1/ It is written (dictated) by a 5-year-old and his cartoonist older brother illustrates it into a comic. It's fantabulous. We all love it, and it has boosted A's art & writing fun to a new level. She has been doing tons and tons of art lately, but after reading Axe Cop she is now attaching stories to her art. Today she drew a picture & composed page one of what she says will be a 20-page book. The picture is chalk on white paper but she wants to paint over it tomorrow, perhaps a pic will be coming then. Here is the text of page one of her story:
The sneaky cat snuck up on the bunny rabbit to eat it. The bunny rabbit ran away, jumping higher and higher. Its last jump bounced all the way up into the sky, and when it landed the earth shook and broke. The bounce was so hard that the earth broke in half and squished flatter and flatter until it became an oval. There was no dirt showing, only flowers. The cat’s family had a fire in a cage ready for the bunny. They took all of the bunny’s fur off before they cooked it, so it was only meat. Then the cat’s entire family sneaked up on another bunny rabbit and dragged it off with their teeth until they hunted one hundred rabbits.

We should find out next week if A got into the amazing charter school (at least in round 1). Praying praying praying....
