Preschool Celebration

Zach had his preschool celebration on 5/29. They were adorable. They sang songs and then received their certificates. I just got around to uploading the pictures. We've got some great video too, hopefully I'll get that edited and up soon.

Scored another goal!

Zach had a great game he scored 4 goals, I think. He loves playing soccer!

Zach is doing a great job learning to skate. He's still doesn't like going to hockey, but he's looking better. Now Meg would like to take figure skating. What have I started?

Poor bird

"I punched out a turkey!"

I was asking the kids during the drive to school what made them proud yesterday at school and this was my sons gleeful response. He is talking about a paper turkey but it still makes me laugh.

Potty Humor

"I have a plan so that I don't pee in my bed. I can sleep on the toilet!"

Our Guardian

Tonight Zach was all excited about guarding the house he didn't want to say what from but he was ready to stay up all night if he had to. I told him I was in but when it came time to go to bed I told him I was out. His reply? Its okay daddy I will do it alone. when I told him he was going to bed he broke down. After some high stakes negotiating he agreed that we would let the firemen and policemen guard the house at night.Tonight Zach was all excited about guarding the house he didn't want to say what from but he was ready to stay up all night if he had to.

Meg's not so scary ghost

Last night the kids used the colored geometric tiles to make pictures. After Meg saw Zach and I building Buzz Lightyear she created a little ghost all on her own.

She was very excited about adding in the Boo and the nose.

Zach's Buzz

Last night the kids used the colored geometric tiles to make pictures. Per the usual my little guy was all about Buzz. I helped him out a lot on the body but Zach took the lead on the face and buzzes weaponry. Our Buzz comes fully loaded with laser blasters and light swords.

Fishy Zach Quote

"Open your mouth little fishy!"

When we went on vacation the indoor water park had a wave pool. Zach's favorite move? just letting the waves come at him and then hitting them.

Check it out.

Funny Zach Quote

"When I get big, I am going to have a beard and a belly."

Zach spent dinner last night over at Gene and Dale's. Dale's son Craig was there and he has both a beard and belly. During dinner Zach came up with this doozy of a line.

Zach is Super Urlacher!

Zach is really getting into dressing up. This is the outfit he put together for the Super Bowl. The Hanna Montana 3D concert glasses really set it off.

Another favorite outfit he has had lately is prince costume with the red cape and Tinkerbell wings.

should I be worried? :)

Some Bathroom Humor

Here is a new fun Zach thing. He names his poops. I kid you not. Last night he finished in the bathroom and then sized up what he had done and difined them as snake poops!

The Star of the Show?

Today Meg's kindergarten class performed some christmas songs at the school mass.

Here are the pictures

Taking it to the next level

In swimming Meg is moving up to the next level. She is excited because the teacher wont be in the water with them as much. She is a confident swimmer. Now if we could only get her to stop playing around with the goggles.

She is also moving up in gymnastics. she takes after her mother.

What Zach is thankful for

Love,
Zachary
