Funny Stories of Cal

 

So the kids and I had eye appointments the other day and as a reward for being SOOOO good everyone got to pick our something from the dollar store.  Cal picked a toy gun and a holster.  He has been wearing it every since.  When we put him to bed last night and told him to take off the gun and holster he said "but mom cowboys always sleep with their gun holsters."

Hair Cut... as you can see from the above picture Cal's hair has gotten long and since Spencer has been busy... he is the one who usually gives haircuts in this house because I don't cut hair...

So Spencer has been busy and I decided that I would tackle Cal's hair.  Got out the clippers opened the box and looked for the 5 or 6 size clipper... but no luck we have a 4 or a 7. I know that 7 will be too long so I decide to go with the 4.

 The finished product....  Cal says that his hair not real big... and then told me that I should let Dad cut his hair next time.  I probably will!

Sick Days

Cal has been sick the past couple of days and we have had lots of time snuggling in bed reading books and watching the same episode of Little Einsteins over and over again...  Poor little guy...  His allergies have been terrible and he has been running a fever.  I blame the Flumist nose spray.  The three kids that had the Flumist - got sick the one who got a shot - not sick. Next year flu shots for everyone!

The Rock Room Concert... A fun time had by all!

So the girls take guitar lessons and each year their AWESOME teacher puts on a recital.  This is not boring snooze fest recital.. This is a Rock Concert!  They get to play with a live band, sing... Like I said a fun time is had by all!

 Davis.... watching "transformers" instead of watching the real show.

Spencer and Amy... when was the last time I posted a picture of me....

because you might not ever see one again...

Cal's First Day of Preschool

On Monday (October 10, 2011)  Cal had his first day of Preschool.  He LOVED it!  When we got there he looked at the building and said "Whoa, my school is really BIG!"  The preschool is held at the Highscool so it is really big!  We went in and he hung up his stuff and said "bye mom"  No tears, no needing me to stay... that is a first for our kids.  He was so excited to be a big boy and go to school like his brother and sisters!

 Here he is outside by the tree... waiting to get in the car!
