100 Days

The Kindergarten Kingdom celebrated the 100th Day of School  today by dressing up like 100-year-olds, creating posters that contained 100 items (Liam picked golf pencils), and centering activities today around the number 100.  Liam had so much fun and loved Day 100 just as much as the past 99.

Vill's Big Day

So today we just did the usual stuff--church, t-ball practice, shopping, laundry, and, OH YEAH, a birthday party for Liam's pet fish, Vill.  Ever sing Happy Birthday to a beta?  Ever make a birthday banner for a fish?  Ever eat a cupcake for a little finned friend?  Well, we have.  And just in case you're wondering, Vill turned 11-years-old (per Liam), so technically, we now have a tween in the house.  Happy Birthday, Vill!  

X-Ray Vision and Underwear. REALLY?!?

Yes, this really did happen after Liam and Grandpa visited a candy store on Monday afternoon.  X-ray vision glasses and underpants hard candy.  Totally inappropriate.  Totally hysterical to a 5-year-old and his grandpa.  Who should accept blame for this one?!?  I'd say BOTH!

Storming Campus

The Martin-Crain-Bushwar crew took Baylor by storm on Sunday afternoon. We kind of bring a rowdy party with us where ever we go.  We're loud.  Our kids run in circles and chase squirrels.  If there's a step, rock, or statue to climb, they gleefully accept the challenge.  But, as Debby reminded me, we were just giving all the current students who were trying to peacefully lounge in their hammocks or on blankets on patches of sunny grass a tiny glimpse into what life may look like for them post-college.  

House Full O'Family

We had a house full of family this weekend, and it was wonderful!  Can't think of a better way to enjoy the long weekend than with Grandma, Grandpa, and our Houston gang.

Weekend Phone Pics

Little E took down most of this gigantic tub of cheese balls this weekend.  Please don't call CPS on us.

A picture of Daddy and the kids...just doing what they do.

Sword fighting with plastic bats is fun for children and adults, alike.

No. 3 & 4

It was just a typical Monday bath night, until a scream from the bathroom filled the downstairs.  Jon rushed in and saw a bloody-mouthed Liam fishing out a tooth from the bubbly water.  Liam's third lost tooth--this time a top one--makes for a pretty sweet little smile.

And then this happened today...

The Tooth Fairy is working overtime around our house these days!
