Dan came home last night from his buisness trip. Alex was asleep, so he missed out on the doleing out of the suprises. Ryan was doing a jig in anticipation. Dan pulled out two Star Wars action figures (Darth and Yoda). Dan handed one to Ryan and Ryan said, 'Alex Happy Birthday'. Translation: Alex would want that. So, then Ryan wanted his gift. Dan pulled out the other figure and you could see the disappointment on his face. He repeated, 'Alex Happy birthday' and proceeded to toss them lightly on the floor and looked down at them in sorrow. I opened Darth Vader and he was interested in the commerative coin in the package more than the toy. However, all was well this morning when Alex got up at the crack of dawn. Alex found the toys. He came and tapped me on my sleeping shoulder to say, 'Ryan's present isn't for babies. He has to be 4 before he can have it.' He left and 5 minutes later came back to wake up Dad, and then wanted to open his Yoda. He and Ryan played Star Wars a long time this morning. (With Alex singing S.W. theme music)
I was suprised with a bag of Wisconsin cheese curd. It is squeaky when you chew it. It tastes like string cheese. It is a yummy treat! Thanks hubby.

Your kids are too smart for their own good.
I love the color of your room! My method of painting was doing all the prep work with the kids around then painting while kids were napping or watching a movie. You are brave for letting them help. Way to go!
Great idea with the allowance. Adding change for tithing, savings, etc is genious.
So I see I am one of your "far flung friends". Brings a tear to my eye. See you in July!
