That is Boring, Daddy

Yesterday afternoon and evening was busy for us.  Vaughn had karate, then DJ had his last T-ball practice, followed by his end of season party with his team.  After that we had some cupcakes for my birthday.  When we got home after the party, here is what Vaughn told me:

Vaughn: So are we going to set up for your birthday now?

Daddy: Yes

Vaughn: What are we going to do?

Daddy: We are going to eat cupcakes and then go to bed.

Vaughn: Well, that is a boring birthday, just eat cupcakes and go to bed?

We have trading cards too.  Remind us next time you see us and we'll get you one.

Halloween

Darth Vader and Buzz Lightyear had a great Halloween this year. 

 

Vaughn had homework this Halloween.  He had to count and sort all of his candy.  During his counting, he gave DJ one piece of candy.  When he got finished, he had 122 pieces, but he remembered that he gave one to DJ, and brought his grand total to 123.  Not a bad haul. 

Homework

Every day after school, Vaughn and Mommy open up his backpack and check out what he has brought home from his day.  Each afternoon, he has homework to work on.  He has a list of 30 "sight words."  He reads as many as he can in one minute.  He is really getting good at them.  It was really cool to watch Jenn working with him.  She is incredibly patient with him and has helped him improve quickly.

Vaughn got his Yellow Belt in his karate class last Wednesday.  He is very proud.

 

Bite

Vaughn: Mommy, bite my leg
Mommy: No
Vaughn: Bite my underwear
Mommy: No, you probably farted in that
Vaughn: I did :)
