President James Madison

Ellie's class did a "Living Presidents" presentation. Ellie was James Madison - we dressed her up as best we could and she made a memorized speech about his life and presidency.

Aye Aye Captain

Sammy still adores his Jack Sparrow costume. On this morning, he was planning on attending school like, this. Unfortunately, Mom intervened.

Slave Labor

Ben, doing his daily chore of unloading the dishwasher. Work Ben, work!

Maddie

I just liked this photo of Maddie and wanted to put it up here. She's such a great daughter and person, I feel lucky to be her mom.

I love you - NOT

I came home on Valentine's day to find Ellie and Sam busily making these posters and tacking them to their bedroom doors. Sammy felt bad later, and crumpled his up and brought it to me to throw away, but I had to make Ellie take hers down a few days later.
