Thoughts on birth, adoption, race, special needs, parenting, chaos, and life with four kids- all with a chewy liberal center.

More Gymnastic Photos
Our gym did a "spring fling" showcase event that allowed the girls in the rec classes to do a little rotation through the four events. K really wanted to do it so she could be in "a meet" like D. So here are photos of both girls at the "meet"

The Difference Betwee Father's Fay and Mother's Day
One of my children who shall remain unnamed in this post made coupon books at school for Mother's Day and Father's Day (I am actually a little in awe of a teacher so organized as to complete a Father's Day task before school let out 3 weeks ago)
Here are the coupons we both got from said child:
Mother's Day Coupon #1 This Coupon is good to "Play Outside"
Father's Day Coupon #1 This Coupon is good for "Breakfast in Bed"
Mother's Day Coupon #2 This Coupon is good to "Not Play on the Computer"
Father's Day Coupon #2 This Coupon is good for "Taking out the trash"
Mother's Day Coupon #3 This Coupon is good to "Take Care of My Bunny"
Father's Day Coupon #3 This Coupon is good for "a Big Hug"
Mother's Day Coupon #4 This Coupon is good to "Help Clean"
Father's Day Coupon #4 This Coupon is good for "Sleeping In"
Mother's Day Coupon #5 This Coupon is good to "Not Fight with Sibling"
Father's Day Coupon #5 This Coupon is good for "Homemade Cookies"
Father's Day Coupon #6 This Coupon is good for "Yard Work"
Father's Day Coupon #7 This Coupon is good for "A Car Wash"
although I do have to say that the Father's Day Coupons were pre-printed while the Mother's Day coupons required said child to fill in the blank with what they thought I would want for Mother's Day. (although I couldn't help but notice I got a coupon I could redeem for the child to do a job that was ALREADY their responsibility)
But still, just once, I want the Sleep In coupon

Happy Birthday (or How Can I Have a Teenager?)
Happy birthday to you my dear A. You are the one who turned me into a mom and it's been a wild ride so far. You are turning into a young man with many wonderful qualities and I can't wait (I think) to see what the teenage years hold for you.
I promised him I would not post pictures so just imagine a tall thin boy opening video games and eating a cookie after blowing out the candle in it (his choice)
Happy Birthday A!! We love you!
