Who's got my back? Not Bella apparently.

Upon not finding some papers she was supposed to have for school, Bella declares:  “My Mom didn’t read them and then lost them.”  Thanks for that.  

I'm not sure I should share this

Colin sings while wearing just his underwear:

"My penis is big.

My penis is big.

I like it.

Toot.  Toot."

I have no words.

Some Colinisms

Here are just a few things that Colin has said repeatedly that I really adore -

“My heart is beeping”

“Really? SUPER – Really?”

“Torrible” (Hybrid of terrible and horrible – favorite quote is from Glee “You look torrible.  I look awesome.”)

Poems from Fiona

As part of their English class this year, the third graders wrote several types of poems as Mother's Day gifts.  Fiona's made me so happy, I don't want to forget them so I'm posting them here.

Colin's Prayer

Dear God,

Please let the Foxes not have any traffic when they come to visit.
Please help me win my very first soccer game.
Please help me have a good day at school.
Please help me not stay in my bed (as a counterpoint to my prayer that God help him stay in bed for the night)
Please help me not to pee (as with a fortune from a cookie, just add "in bed" and it makes sense)'

Amen
