. . . it's OVER!!! This is what JD and I have been up to this week. Since Dad has been REALLY busy working extra hard we had "chicken play" (JD's term for Chic-fil-A) for dinner. We got to shake hands with the cow which made the evening extra special.
We got some fun new Scooby Doo pajamas.
JD drove his tractor.
AND, we painted at school. JD's class is making a tree for the wall and these are going to be some of the leaves for it. WOW -- that's a lot of green paint.
Today was the first day of school. My friend Carlen and I ended up wearing almost identical dresses to school this morning. Great minds think alike!
JD's constant theme these days is "I need to go to Walmart and buy trains." Naturally, when I turned on the camera he needed to be prompted a little. To celebrate the first day of school we did in fact stop at Walmart and buy trains.
Circus Days!!! We went to the Greatest Show on Earth this evening and had a Super Time. This is the star of this year's show Bello the clown.
JD got to be a Circus Celebrity.
Just before intermission a clown presented us with our own Bello plastic hair (notice the clown picture above) and we got to ride in the circus train and wave to the crowd.
Apparently I have a really big head because the clown couldn't get my Bello hair on and decided to just turn it over and put it on upside down. I was so busy taking pictures of JD that I had now idea my plastic hair was upside down until I looked at the pictures later. It looks a little silly upside down --- BUT --- who doesn't look silly with orange plastic hair on their head -- even right side up?
The children behind us had huge suckers so naturally JD HAD to have one too. He just wouldn't leave without a big sucker.This is what happens at snack time. JD wants a cupcake and then wants to put fire on it. Every day is his birthday!
My good friends and I were able to meet for lunch today. Debra was in town visiting for the weekend and although Lea and I live withing a few miles of one another we don't actually get to SEE one another very often. It was nice to be able to get together and chat. 
As soon as JD got up this morning he wanted to play with trains. He didn't just get them out he insisted that he wanted to "spill" them. When I got home from lunch he was sound asleep on the couch overlooking his train mess. He must have played until he colapsed.
Kyle was here with us for a few hours to sleep and pick up his things. Bye Kyle, we hope to see you and the girls again soon!!
JD had discovereds the "cars" at the mall. Everytime I asked him if he was ready to go home he said, "NO, I want to drive some more." What is the boy going to be like when he is 16? YIKES!!! Thankfully it will be a few years.
