Mommy Bragging Moment

I never wanted to make this blog a "look how cute my kids are" kind of space. But... look how cute my kids are! lol I just needed a moment to brag because they're so darn cute & I don't say it enough how great they really are. So I have a few videos because you all are far away, & hey. Videos are fun.

So my first is the one & only Miss Natalie. She's so darn funny. She loves to read books, especially before bedtime and in her three-year-old'ness she's starting to pre-read (i.e. memorize books but totally get the flow of reading pages.) So anyway, she asked me to videotape her reading her favorite book The Hound Finds a Friend so she "can watch it when [I'm] five." Hilarious.



Now, the boys, recently had a "talent" show at school. Each class did a skit and it was a riot. I wish I could show you the 45 minute-long version because it really was cute. (Especially the 8th grade boys wearing prom dresses! he he!!) But I have a little video of each of my guys. First up is Mark. His class chose to do "Fourth Grade's Got Talent" where each kid did something special. Some did gymnastics moves, some did impressive math problems. Mark showed off his spelling prowess:



And finally Gavin. His class decided to do a little dance to the song "Three is the Magic Number." Not Jack Johnson unfortunately, but Schoolhouse Rock. Still cool though. ;) Anyway, it's the whole song because it was so cute. If you can't tell, Gav is the guy riding the tricycle (LOL!) and holding the #15.



He he! I love my three little goofballs. :)




And, just for fun, here's a pic of the boys in a basketball game.




They're not the highest scoring team to be perfectly honest, but these guys have heart for sure! And they have a lot of fun, which is really most important.



Last but not least: quick house update. The storage is finally almost completely gone through! Halleluiah! Shouldn't be too much longer and we can eliminate the expense of the two smaller units. And most exciting: windows are ordered! Woohoo! So Matt has given himself the next two weeks to finish the demo so that he can be totally ready by the time they come in to get them installed. Fingers crossed! :)
