Making candles.

Looking cool.

Sawing logs.


So happy with his traded goods!

The funny things kids say....

We had company over for dinner the other night. Myron left the table to go and draw a picture. He returned eager to tell everyone about his drawing. "This is all the things that died our fish tank." We all had a good laugh and learned about each dead fish and lobster :)

First Grade

First bus ride ... First day of first grand... A lot of smiles and a lot of firsts! 
And his first act after school ... A big hug for Mama! 

Ice Bucket

Oh, yes the ice bucket challenge hit our home. 

My drawing days....

A day if research recruitment at the farmers market....

Hello Gavin!

From date night...

Myron joined us for date night to night...

We tired the new seafood restaurant in town ....
His first oyster. 

Myron: "We like this place so much we are going to get their credit card"

“It’s that time”

Myron ran into the living room…

Myron: “It’s that time Mama”… “It’s that time”

Here was very excited!  I wasn’t sure what all the excitement was about but I played along…

Mama: “It’s time for what honey?”

Myron: “You know, that time after the storm when everything is more beautiful…look”

(Heart melt… I love this kid)

Feminism at it’s finest

We pride ourselves are teaching Myron that girls can do everything boys can we have talked about how it used to be when girls couldn’t go to school or vote.  Clearly he believes girls can do anything (and should).

We had a sewage leak under the house (in the crawl space).  Dada Myron was under the house cleaning it. When I told Myron what Dada was doing he replied:

“Ewww, gross.  When I grow up my wife is going to do that, not me.”

I guess you can’t choose when equal rights are applied ;)

Goodbye Kindergarten

Myron finished his first year of school with a smile.

Field Day

Thank you for a memorable year Mrs. Allen.

Last Day K 1

Oh yes, hot dogs and soda – a special day!

Last Day K 2Last Day K 3

I love what this says about Myron - the games he excelled at during field day were carry the egg and battle ship.  The object of battle ship is throw the ball to knock down the other team’s pins.  Clearly Myron plays with a defensive mind.  Forget throwing the ball, just hold it and protect the pin!

We learned a lot about our little man this year.  He is clearly a rule follower and enjoys the quieter side of things.  His school favorites were brain break time and art.  He does not like computer time and during reading time he has mastered the art of pretending to read.  He likes journaling as long as it includes picture drawing.  What will Frist Grade hold for our little wonder?

Picnic Time

Hello warm weather and hello picnic time!

Mud Monster

Time to plant the garden. Myron was transformed into a Mud Monster and loved it. For over an hour we sloped in the mud.  The real fun for Mama came when it was time to hose him down!

Welcome warm weather

Pet

This winter we finally agreed on a pet – fish. We have a new tank with over 10 swimming friends. Here is a picture of our fish named Myron (and slurpy in the background). As it turned out, Myron fish is a girls so after a few batches of fry we now call her Captain.
