not a laughing matter ?

t.w.'s preschool held their end-of-year program. he sat and yawned through most of it, while the other children stood and sang and did all the hand motions. later, on the way home, we realized he had been getting sick. i apologize for the quality of these pics, bad lighting and zoom lens is to blame. enjoy anyway...

here he is...still standing.

now, he's down and doing some open-close leg action.

about to try a somersault here...

 it looks like blake is about to go also!

yup, there he goes!

and finally, receiving his faux diploma from his teacher-the courageous and valiant miss fannie. (get that kid off the stage!) seriously, the other parents(and teachers) may have thought he was a distraction, but we thought it was pretty funny! wish we had a video.

grateful for:

1. fresh cut grass

2. honeysuckle

3. freshly washed little boys

UP-side-down-DATES

1. i have lost two pounds since kaye and i embarked on our gluten free/dairy free diet. unfortunately, kaye doesn't seem to be feeling any better, but i have had fewer stomach issues.
2. t.willie no longer poops in his diaper in the morning, nor does he even wear a diaper at night.
3. we are STILL getting tomatoes from our amazing plants.
4. i have already gotten bored with facebook.
5. i still haven't eaten fast food since my september 1st resolution.
6. t.w. is doing great at preschool. although he seems to be the "mean kid" of his class!

i am grateful for:
1. no more diapers and no more morning poopage!
2. colder weather and soups and hot chocolate and snow flurries
3. a warm dog at my feet
