Ivan's Story

Mommy, Zoe cryin' and whinin' on the bus.

What made Zoe cry?

Zoe sad.

What made Zoe sad?

I don't know.

What did you do?

I ask Zoe, "Why you sad Zoe?".

What did she say?

Zoe say, "I miss my mommy".

What did you do?

I give Zoe hug.

and...

Zoe still cryin' and whinin' and cryin' and whinin'.

I say Zoe, "Why you still sad and whinin' and cryin'?".

I hug Zoe again.

Hmmmm, actually Zoe no miss her Mommy...I pull Zoe hair.

This is the first time Ivan told me a story.

Hope it isn't a sign of things to come.

Ho, Ho, Ho, Happy Halloween

homemade costumes

gotta love their imaginations

Alex's classmates didn't believe him when he told them he was going to be a trash can, until they saw the can. Ivan loved the parade. He led all 60 preschool kids down the hallways, waving and saying, "Ho, Ho, Ho, Merry Christmas, ummm Happy Halloween".

that's my boy

The Kansas City Star's House + Home section had a feature on modern fireplaces. Ivan got to be in the picture, we were trying to hide the fact that there weren't any logs in the fireplace.

Glad to see he is feeling comfortable with the players...

I'm loving the arm on Sherron's shoulder!

Alex was trash talking, so he was first to try to guard Cole.
