fun times in hutcheson high

We have started allowance with lily and it's working really well.  It started off with tickets she could get stuff from the treasure box and now we've moved to kindness quarters....she works really hard to make good choices, but sometimes it's hard to control her feelings so when i see her pour all those coins onto the counter, I feel a big sense of pride for her and know the lesson is bigger than the night light pillow she gets to sleep with every night (at least i hope so)
so proud with her loot.

she's had this awhile, but this is what the scene looks like every time.  Last week she got Dora and boots on roller skates for $29.99 paid with all coins!  the cashiers always play along too and hype it up with her.


someone graduated from pre K...old picture but great memories and has to make it into the blog book!
he's doing this crooked smile much less lately and i miss it already...

When kids open a snack, they have to give the first one to the people they are with...usually they have the same snack so it's an even trade and Grady always announces "Sharing is caring" when the task is complete. every . single. time.

she looks so little here and this is just a few months ago when you think about it.

Grady wanted a toy in the toybox, but couldn't reach it so he problem solved.




come on grady, let's go get a ball...

Grandma has taught them the love of climbing trees.

Grady the photo bomber.


At 5 years young, she still need a lot of sleep.  So she naps on the go.


life is good.
