Cash Is Not King....

Yesterday I found Sam in his room putting real .22 bullets into his play shotgun. Even though it was a play gun it is still dangerous for him to have real bullets, so Wil had to take them away last night. Sam was very upset about losing his bullets. Tonight we were rewarding the girls with money for their good grades and Sam asked if he could get paid. Wil gave his a dollar so he wouldn't feel left out, but Sam started crying. When he asked him what was the matter he said he didn't want money he wanted to be paid in bullets. Apparently to Sam cash is not king, bullets are.

Basketball Pictures

The kids took their basketball pictures tonight and since we are the Fighting Bulldogs they had a real bulldog there to take pictures with. This is the one I took with my iPad so it is a little fuzzy, but I think it turned out pretty good! Go Dawgs!

Sam's Sculpture

Sam was at the office with me today and he made this sculpture for me out of rebar, nails, an auto part, and gummy snacks. I think it is beautiful.

First Day of School 2011

So the first day of the new school year went pretty well until Sam realized that he was not going to school with the girls this year. He insisted that he was in fact going to school and had to have a sign to hold, a backpack, and a lunch box packed with food. Even after taking Hannah to her room (which she didn't want to be walked in to) and then taking Morgan to her room, he is still asking where is his classroom. He only turned 3 this month and is ready to leave the nest and it breaks my heart. He is supposed to be my baby! I know they have Pre-K for 3 year olds, but I am not ready for that. I am considering having him go to Pre-K next year, but then when I mention it Goo Goo gets empty nest syndrome, so I guess we are both going to have a hard time either next year if he goes to Pre-K or the year after when we have no choice and he starts Kindergarten. This is the last year the girls will be at the same campus and Hannah's last year in Elementary, so it is becoming clear that they are growing up fast in spite of my efforts to keep them little forever.
