Tennis x two!

Gage had so much fun being the "ball boy" at Savannah's lesson last week, he decided to give it a try himself. He grinned ear to ear the entire time.

But...in the end, he decided he doesn't want to take any more lessons. He likes being ball boy better! I'm just happy that he gave it a try and had fun. Looks like he's sticking to karate :-)

Lizard!

We love catching lizards around here! 

Vacuuming

So, gage asked me if he could vacuum today. Sure buddy. So, he goes to it.

Then...his sister comes out whining. That's not fair - I want to vacuum. Well, you can vacuum moms room when gage is done, I say. Next thing I know there is a fight over the vacuum because both want it??? What the heck is going on here?  I told them to work it out themselves, so this is what I can back to. Savannah driving, and gage using the hose.

Apparently I need to let them vacuum more often...

All about gage

One of Gage's assignments this week was to make an All About Me puppet. So, this is his self-portrait of sorts. He even cut the clothes out himself. He didn't think h3 could...but he did it. Okay...I helped with his hands because he begged me to.

And then..he had to write about himself. You would think it was torture for him to write this.

His name is: gage

His birthday is: July 30

Favorite color: red

Favorite book: puppies in the park

Things I like. Run swim

A place I like to go: beach 

Let's just say that he does not ask for more homework like his sister used to in kindergarten. Instead, he whines every single minute. He spends more time whining than actually doing his work. He's going to be a tough one.

Grits!

Well, it finally happened. After living most of her life in the south, Savannah finally tasted grits. And she loved them. She has asked m to make them every day since last Sunday. I finally gave in today. So, her dinner was a big buttery bowl of stoneground grits. They are soooo good.

Karate!

Mr. Gage has started taking Tai Kwan Do lessons!  

Rhyming

It's Labor Day, so by 4:00, the kids were getting on my nerves. So, I decided it was time to do some workbook pages.

Me: So, Gage, duck. Which word has the same ending sound as dUCK?

Gage: Fuck?

Well, technically, he was correct, but I didn't want to tell him that..so I redirected his attention to the pictures on the page, and thankfully, he noticed the TRUCK.

Keeping homework interesting ;-)
