William is allowed to lock his bike at school

We rode bikes to school today; William couldn’t find the extra lock so he locked his bike with Natalie’s. (Woo Hoo William is allowed to lock his bike at the school this year!!!)

At the end of the day I was waiting for the kids to be dismissed from school, I was standing chatting with some other parents. I see Natalie run by to get her bike. Then William comes out, walks to me, gives me a BIG hug. Then he stands there with me (in my mind I’m waiting for Natalie) then I realized that William rode his bike too.

M: William you rode your bike
W: I know
M: You need to go get it; it’s not going to come to you
W: Yes it will
M: Go get your bike
William walks toward his bike, turns back to me and says
W: I told you it would come to me

I look up and see Natalie walking her bike away from the bike rack, then I see her friend had William’s bike and was walking it over to him:-0

Correct age

Ok so I know I haven’t been blogging lately, everything I seem to have to say fits on my social network in 220 spaces or less. Well today I have to go over that so I’m posting again:-)

A few days after my birthday my father so kindly pointed out that I hadn’t changed my age yet. I told him next time I posted something I would change it, (maybe that’s why I haven’t had anything to say for a while)

Dad; you will be happy to know I changed my age in my profile. I am however burying this post under the new funny one of the kids, so if people don’t happen to see it, that would be ok:-)

Making the rules

My kids playing monopoly together

N: William you have to pay $3
W: NO I DON’T!
N: I’m the banker, I make the rules
W: GOD makes the rules!
N: Well GOD intended for me to be the banker and make these rules!

Ring

William has a ring that he got at a craft fair, it’s the school colors and he likes to wear it to school every now and then. He wore it yesterday and lost it in the field during PE. I was in the building for something and saw the sub talking to William’s teacher about it. I told William we could look for it after school, and he held me to that.

We found the ring! :-0 NEVER, in a million years, did I think we would find it. After mad science we went out in the field. William did a full reenactment of how Friend 1 had the ring and exactly where he fell down, and how he fell down (we got the slow motion, replay) and the likely range of where the ring could have landed. (LOL it was a real physics lesson).

Natalie, good sister that she is, got on her hands and knees and was searching through the grass, braving any bugs that might be in her way. After 10 minutes of looking, William jumped up and said "oh wait, Friend 2 found my ring"! I asked him if Friend 2 still had his ring and he launched into the story of how after Friend 1 dropped the ring, Friend 2 found it, but then he dropped it and lost it:-0 (OMGosh)

So William reenacts this part, by following the path where Friend 2 ran in the grass then onto the side walk, and while Natalie followed and the two of them ran to the doors of the school, I looked down and there it was! I let them look for a little while longer, since they were being kind to each other and not screaming at e/o for a minute, then I let them know I had it. Of course I stood in the exact spot where I found it, cause they both wanted to know where it was. In the grass a ways, but just above PA and NJ on the map! LOL What an adventure!

Oh Bailey, my dear sweet dog,

I don’t think the request I made was that difficult. All I asked for was a simple roll of toilet paper, all you had to do was get it down from the shelf and bring it to me. That’s not too much to ask you to do for the woman who sits, hiding in the bathroom at all hours of the morning with you, thunderstorm after thunderstorm. But no you couldn’t do that one little thing for me, what’s that you say, you couldn’t reach the shelf? You can break out of anything, gates, houses, windows, attics. You can tear apart air conditioners and insulation to get where you need to go; dry wall is no match for you. Falls from 10 feet high don’t even faze you, but no you couldn’t get me a simple roll of TP, I bet if it was a loaf of bread or a nice hamburger you would have been able to reach that shelf. That’s ok, you just wait, I’ll remember this the next time it storms, you’ll be in your cage crying instead of hanging in your “safe room” with me. Love MOM
