My first blog post from my new iPad. I'm kind of addicted to it! And so is somebody else we know as you can see from the picture if I can get it to work.
I'm kind of addicted to Scrabble. Do I dare mention out loud that DH and I played it for our Friday night date night last week. Did I say that out loud?!
We've got spring fevers at our house this week - literally. All of th kids have had fevers, coughs, chills, etc, at some point in the last week. Miss M threw up in Nursery (she has previously had no symptoms of anything) while I was at home from church with fevered Mr. A and Baby S. Aren't we awesome parents?!
In another classic parenting moment, poor DH was taking a look into Miss M's mouth because she was complaining that it hurt her when all of a sudden she threw up again. Let's just say that everybody has had more than their fair share of showers and baths this week!
And tonight Mr. A asked me if I was going to his school friend, Connor's, mom's birthday party. I told him that I didn't know about it because I don't know her. He couldn't understand why because he said, "But, Mom, it's a MOM party! Just for moms!!". He just didn't realize that just being a mom didn't automatically qualify me for this party!
It was 85 and sunny yesterday and 55 and raining today. And we wonder why anyone is sick?!

And, for this week's entertainment...
Here is a part of the email I received from Mr. A's teacher late last week.
"In addition, he has demonstrated an interest in play that involves guns. For example, he has been making guns from Legos and using them as such in his play with other children. In addition, A has been using his fingers to simulate guns during Circle Time (when he was struggling to stay focused). As you can understand, we discourage play that involves guns and we would appreciate your encouraging A to play in a less aggressive way."
And here is what I wish I could have said (only after asking my friends and family if this was normal):
"Dear Teacher,
He's a boy. And he's 5.
Thanks for your concern and let's hope that his protection instincts serve him well for many years to come. I'm pretty sure he was shooting the bad guys. At least, that's what he does at home for his little sister.
Cheers!
W"
Here's what I really did say: I'm sorry about the guns and we have encouraged him to be the "protector" of his classmates in other ways.
Just keepin' it real, folks. That's all for now. Love you, A-bug!
(ps - the sneaky little dude came and took my iPad off of the nightstand after we had put him to bed (and DH and I were downstairs catching up) to play Angry Birds - his teacher should be happy that it uses a slingshot instead. never. a. dull. moment.).
