multi-racial family

Ole: "None of us are african-american, right?"
Me: "Right."
Ole: "Except Piper ... because he's black."

ummm ... thanks?

So I walk in the door yesterday after work ... and am greeted by my beautiful boys. Ole welcomes me with this ...

"Mama ... I like your dress."

" Thanks, Ole."

" You're not fat. Remember how I said before that you are fat? Well you're not"

Why today is great...

Not only is it MY BIRTHDAY ...

Diana made me a birthday card that features a capybara.
I got a cake from the morning crew at work.
Rune sent me a dozen roses.
Pete bought me a cheeseburger and fries for lunch.
I got another cake from the afternoon crew at work.

I'm not sure it could get any better...

Thanks Diana for the fun idea. I think these pics are funny. Rune doesn't like them at all ... and is a bit freaked out by them.

This is one of the runs Ole skied with his dad at Kirkwood on Saturday. Maybe it's just me ... but it looks pretty scary.

He rocks!

Another visit from the tooth fairy...

They look so sweet, don't they...?

Ahhh ... public school

Me: Did you behave in school today?
Ole: No. I was in time-out.

Me: Why?
Ole: Because I was rude.

Me: How were you rude? What did you do?
Ole: I kept saying chee chee* and sex.

Me: Who did you learn those words from?
Ole: Nisiah. He says chee chee all the time. And he says Zaire is sex.


* I learned yesterday that chee chee means penis...

Luke's first fat lip

Can you see it? It's there on the corner of his upper lip. His hand slipped off his chair as he was pulling himself up ... and smack!

Ole's report card

I promise this is verbatim. I haven't embellished at all.

Ole is a wonderful child. He is still a little wild, flopping himself on the rug for mysterious reasons, but he is also very focused when working, delightfully curious, and very kind and sensitive. His strengths are his positive attitude, natural brilliance, confidence, and good verbal communication skills. He is doing very well and I am sure will continue to do so.

Piper

RED!

We've been painting our living room ... one wall at a time. We did this wall this weekend...

Isn't it pretty?
