Traditions

Xander's end of year gift - Cyborg (a superhero!)

Mikaela's end of year gift - Littlest Pet Shop dog that you decorate (thank you post Easter clearance!)

Mikaela and her daddy - nothing sweeter!

When your parents are teachers, and thus the whole family's life revolves around the school calendar.......the last day of school is something to be celebrated!!!

Even before the kids, Tommy and I always treated ourselves to dinner out on the last day of school. As the kids have grown and entered school themselves, the tradition continues.

We ate dinner at Longhorn (sign up on their website and within a week recieve a email for the free appetizer - yummy!).

during my birthday dinner out at Red Robin, Xander: "Why is he waiting on THAT table? He is our waiter!!!!"
M: "I was SO close to being an only child. OR, I could have had a sweet sister like you Preslie."
Mommy: Xander, Next weekend we are getting your new bunk beds. Aren't you excited?" Xander: "Yeah, man - that is going to be cool." Mommy: "Now you can sleep in your own bed all night - in your big boy bunk beds." Xander: "Mommy - I was thinking we could get two bunk beds - then we would have four beds - and we could all sleep in my room." Mommy: "Xander, you are going to sleep in your bunk beds all by yourself - because you are so big now!" Xander: "That wasn't what I was thinking."
As we exited the "Kickin Christmas" show at Stone Mountain, I commented to Tommy that I was really surprised to see a religious reference in the show (they talked about the true meaning of Christmas being the birth of Jesus and sang "Let there be Peace"). Xander said "Mommy - Stone Mountain probably read it in the bible - it is a good book. It's in there."
Mikaela: Today at school in the lunchroom, I swallowed a cherry seed. Jacob said "Oh no you swallowed a cherry seed. You're going to die in one second." and I said "1 - AHHHHH - I'm still breathing." Xander: Did you die Sissy? (very concerned) Mikaela: HELLO (in the snottiest voice) Xander: Oh.
Xander (when speaking to Santa answering the "what do you want for Christmas question): I want a woman to clean my room.
Mikaela: I'm smarter than you. Xander: I'm smarter than you because I know all about dog bones and dinosaur bones. Mikaela: I'm smarter than you because I can read 2.3 to 3.0 books. Xander: (Silence)
