bad poetry, cute kids

Little B has learned so much,
He knows his ABC's and such.
He's been growing all the year through,
and now there isn't anything he can't do -
HAPPY PRESCHOOL GRADUATION LITTLE MAN!

Cast no more!
rough, awkward, heavy, stiff
helping bones heal
PINK
STINK
two weeks, too long
hurray, now the cast is gone!
See me?
See my nose,
my eyes, my throat?
runny, weepy, sore
my ears, ouchie ears,
doctor checks
now I take antibiotics
who's next?

Pinewood derby

The results are in - G's standing was 4th place. Not bad for an ice-cream sandwich. Boo and A also raced their cars unofficially. They all did great. Here they are:
Today, Little B performed gymnastics at a nearby high school. He limped around on the stage because of his immunizations two days ago (that tetanus shot is still bothering him). After a few tricks he forgot his leg was supposed to hurt and did everything else just fine.

Baby's arm and other exciting happenings -

Boo performed in her first choir concert on Wednesday!
Earlier this year she told me she wanted to take voice lessons but never wants to sing in front of people. She started taking voice lessons and then signed up for choir at school. Now she just sang in front of hundreds of people! I am so proud of her!Baby E got her cast on Wednesday - PINK is her color! The doctor said she only has to have it on for two weeks! It is awesome that babies heal so quickly.
Here she is crawling despite the awkward cast -The next morning -
The cast has been signed by the whole neighborhood. Anyone else want to sign it?


Yesterday Little B, S, and E all got immunized -
I just don't understand this - the kids cried and got lollipops and bubbles, they cried again and got stickers and lunch at McDonalds. I comforted and held three crying kids and what did I get? Nodda!

S is going to pass up little B soon. S is in the 75th percentile in height and weight and little B is in the 15th percentile in weight and 25th in height. There are 2 years 2 months 3 lbs and 3 inches difference between them. E has finally gotten a clean bill of health with regards to her ear infections. No more antibiotics - Hurray!

Tonight is the long awaited much anticipated Pinewood Derby!
Even though G is the only cub scout in the family, Boo and A are making derby cars as well. It has been a time consuming undertaking getting three pinewood derby cars cut, sanded, painted, weighted and detailed. Last year, G won first place and the pressure is on to bring home another win. (Okay, really it is self-inflicted pressure because of my competitive nature). DH is having the kids do more of the work this time, so the cars may not even roll. We'll see. On another note, any one know if you can get lead poisining from melting split shot on a camp stove?
