well, once again, my lack of expertise in this world prevents me from posting a video. charlie did great. he got real quiet and shy before the show. but by the end (6 songs into it) he was even doing the choreography!

the kid with his arm in front of charlie's face is justin. he is apparently one of charlie's "besties"

they even had a snippit of singing in japanese!  

oh my peaches!

23 more inches, and Charlie will be taller than me. just sayin.
(he corrected me to capitalize the C in his name.)
had the kindergarten music (singing) concert tonight.
will post video in a bitty. it takes a really, really, really, really long time to upload video!

fun little photo session :)

quick nutella on bread before school..

handy manny uno...oodles of fun for all

he hunted me down and wanted me to take a picture with his britches pulled up to his  chest! but i didn't get a good pic, so this'll do! 

then they got goofier and goofier.

book fair & multicultural night.

well, i have no pictures of isaiah finally falling asleep at the bookfair (we were there from 1130 till after four) BECAUSE...i misplaced my phone. well, okay, i lost it. about twenty minutes ago, charlie's teacher (peggy) came into the library waving it!!!!  i almost tackled her! a fifth grade teacher said one of her kids turned it in to her. five hours not knowing what happened to one's appendage is kinda stressful. (i have been working on limiting my own use on the phone, but i didn't need it taken away!! )especially since it was part entertainment for isaiah while we were confined to the library!! he finally did fall asleep, at about 330. so that was nice. we also got roped into (entirely my doing) purchasing a few books. way cool ones i might add! (it was bogo).
now we go back tonight for multicultural night. spaghetti feed. wouldn't it be awesome if they served salad & bread sticks from olive garden!!
it is WAY nice here. 76 is what it said in the car. so happy to have warmer weather.

my new fave! notice the yellow bracelet on his right hand? he picked that out at the dentist after getting cavities filled. (all six are filled now ) he hasn't taken it off since. (except to play tball) that was saturday, it is now wednesday!!!
ps. our wednesday schedule is always full in the mornings. this is the day for charlie to go to school as isaiah & i go to the preschool to help for the morning (mrs kim is allowing us to trade office services for child care!) then, we go straight to speech for isaiah. where he  becomes mute. (i know?? wierd right?) there is two kids in this thirty minute session, and very rarely does isaiah even talk. also on wednesdays is early release for charlie. yup. every wednesday. which is kinda nice. as long as he isn't grumpy, i miss my little charlie. mornings are busy, evenings too, and i don't see him on the weekends  cuz that is when i have long days.
