Bo review

Bo you are so happy, all the time! I love you love you love you! You are so excited becasue the Halloween store opened this week! You were so funny when I took you there after preschool. You were talking to yourself saying, yea, this is cool, yea I am not scared, yea this is so great mom. You were licking your lips, looked scared out of your mind, but wanted to be so brave. You said you liked everything except for the moving stuff. You even set up a Halloween store at home with all of your stuff that we bought. You turned our living room into your own store and we are all getting to buy things for free dollars ($3) or to much dollars (not for sale) which can generally be negotiated down to free dollars as well. You loved it. You also love to catch grass hoppers. You also have been driving the Monstor Truck down to the bus stop to pick Samantha up. It is the cutest thing ever! You also let her drive it in the yard and then when she drives by you hop in or hop out. It is so cute to watch. You still say, I love you so much all the time. We had a real bad scare this week when you got out of your carseat when Mommy took Baylen into MeMe's. Tongiht you told your sister she sure looked pretty and that she wrote so good. You are such a sweet boy, and I feel like you say funny things all day long. You started to cry in music yesterday when I peaked my head in. You are a big boy, but I love that you are so sweet and sensitive. You love to be cuddled, you ask if we can cuddle, but then you will say, Mommy cuddle is over now. When you have been decorating for Halloween you keep saying, I have a lot of work to do! You love to dance, and talk about eyeballs. You say, are you done mommy in a very funny voice. You are my sunshine. I love you so much....you come to our room every night.

Samanthas first day of second grade

First day of second grade....wow! You love school this year. You have a good friend named Ava in your class. Your teachers name is Mrs. Brink. You love it. You wrote me a note that said you are so happy this year. You have started riding the bus to and home from school. You did get grounded for the first time last week. Daddy came home from work to do it. He took the door off your room and took media and friends away. You had a big anger attack and hit Bo and I and threw things. We gotta work on this anger girl! You have had an amazing week since! You are still loving lovie and we have really enjoyed reading Ramona and Beezus at night. I love to snuggle up with you and read, just us girls! I love you Zeppa Pepper.
