Memoirs of a Second Grader -- By Gavin

Memoirs of a Second Grader

By: Gavin

I ate two bagels this morning. I learned how to make a snake with my hands. It was awesome. I played basketball this morning. I played tag this morning. It was fun. I heard the best fish story ever at school.

Pot of Gold -- by Gavin

I want to find a pot of gold because I will be rich and I will be able to buy toys, video games, fish, animals, and all of that stuff.

good night, my sweet boys

I really can't make this up

So, yesterday we're at Gavin's baseball game and Keegan is sitting on the bleachers with a new "friend" he has just met. Jay was stuck at work and hadn't yet made it to the game. I over hear Keegan (loudly) saying, "That's my brother. And that's my brother. And see that brown man coaching the other team? That's my Dad."

For the record, I didn't know the man. And I don't teach my children to call people "brown". But nevertheless, the entire bleacher full of mom's and dad's on our team turned and stared at me. Like I said, I really can't make this up.

The Allison Weekly: 3/4/13-3/10/13

This week:

We got my oil changed and spent an extensive amount of time in the Infiniti dealership waiting room testing out all the different types of hot chocolate and coffees.

The tooth fairy came again!

And Logan made 100 AR points and was featured on the morning news!

Random Living

On the coldest Florida winter mornings, Daddy lights a fire before the boys wake up. They love to come out, sleep still in their eyes, and warm up by the fire while I cook breakfast. It's a simple thing really, but it's the smallest memories that I want to treasure always.

Keegan is so big. He uses our headphones and ipads to watch his own movies.

I got a little girl-time with my main girl, Ella. She chose Gator colors for our nail-painting session, but I still love her. After all, she's only four and doesn't know any better yet.

Keegan makes stromboli. Italian cooking is in his blood.

Fort on a chilly, gloomy day. Another simple memory.

Gavin's crocodile diorama.

Keegan loves Mama's FSU hoody and Nutra-Grain bars.

He has his own sense of style.

One awesome Family Night we enjoyed dinner out and then went to the top of the capital It's so pretty at night. The boys were impressed, but were even more enamored by the Governor's entourage of Escalades parked downstairs by Daddy's car.

BUCKS camping in FREEZING temps

So, as soon as Jay got back from CT, he headed to the campground with the BUCKS group of dads/sons. It was Keegan's first overnight trip and so he has been fully inducted as an official BUCKS member now! Temps were the lowest they had been all year -- dipping into 25 degrees. I felt a little guilty sleeping in my warm bed under my nice heated blanket that night, but they all seemed to have a great time. More importantly, no one even got sick afterwards!
