James and I talked about birthdays today. He can't wait until John is 3 1/2 so he is big enough to wrestle. James is 3 1/2. Then he asked, "Are you a half, mom?"Mom: "Am I a half like you are three and a half? Yes, I am a 1/2."
James: "What half are you?"
Mom: "I am 32 and 1/2."
James (laughing hysterically): Wha, ha, ha! You are so old. You need Prune Soda."
a few minutes later he continues "Prune soda is for old people, mom."
I just chuckled and walked away from the table. Yep, my kids love me.
Grace is growing plants for school. John has learned to move chairs and step stools to climb up on things. He particularly likes to climb up on the kitchen table where the plants are growing. One sad day I found a poor plant uprooted and eaten. Grace had to go to school and tell the teacher her baby ate the homework.
What a tale to tell!
This is a photo of the crystal garden Grandma mailed to us to pass the winter months. We put in on a tall counter so the kids wouldn't disturb it since it was quite fragile. Unfortunately mom attacked it multiple times in one day, so thankfully we snapped a shot before it was completely ruined. It was great watching the crystals grow.

We decorated Easter eggs. Grace is sporting the squid hat she made at the Natural Science Museum.
John turned 1 on Easter Sunday. Anne is always snuggling that little boy. Our friend, Deb, came over to celebrate the big event. Poor James was recovering from the stomach flu.
John wasn't very happy with birthday pie and everyone singing to him. Once he ate the pie and everyone stopped singing he was happy to have all the attention.
Spring means baby chicks at the farm store. It's one of our annual field trips.
There was also one bunny left to buy, we just pet it. No pets for this house.
John is loving the outdoors. He is such a boy, the bigger the stick....the better!
The kids figured out how to all swing at the same time. I cook, read, or clean while the kids are outside swinging. Everyone is happy.

I LOVE THE SWING SET!!!!! WIsh I would have thought of that when I was a kid. We had almost the same swing set too!!!! Looks like fun. We miss you guys!
Ha ha ha, so funny! Made my day, well probably my week. I love what kids come up with. Kevin often eats copious amounts of food and climbs to daring heights. Love you! We are so excited you are moving closer!
I hope you are drinking your prune soda Jen. We old people need our roughage and such.
Prune Soda, hahaha. Good times at your house. I love the stories.
I would have just stuck with the 1/2. If he had insisted I would have let him guess the rest. Prune soad!! It is always great what kids come up with.
