Under the Big Top! (& some other things)

Constantly on a mission to show us his Ninja skills. Seriously, how high is he jumping?
 Dino painting at Noni's. Just another day.
 My children are destined to spend an inordinate amount of time at high school athletic functions.The few things Anderson knows about my job are: It is very, very, very, very, very far away (he says dery), I have chocolate milk in my little fridge for him (from the cafeteria), there are football and basketball games & I work with Mr. Incredible (my boss looks a lot like him). Seems like a pretty sweet gig.
 Speaking of work, I had to work late at a parent night function and this was part of my dinner. It was delicious.
Hanging out with JPa!
 Valentine's Day dinosaurs from Aunt Manda!
 It was P day at school and all the kids wore Pajamas! He chose his Pirate ones, accented by a Patch, of course. He brought a Police car for Show & Tell and a much nicer than I am mom brought Pizza for the class! Also, check out the Dr. Seuss shout out in the background! The theme this month is Literacy, which is amazing. I fully believe that Literacy is one of those amazing things, like hope and faith, that keep the world going, so I am all about it getting it's own month.
 A Big Brother outing with Jack to Chuck E Cheese! Love their faces:) Anderson is always telling me, "Jack is my best friend. Nobody else can come to my house because he is my best friend." It is sweet and sort of selfish all at once. Classic 3 year old.
That moment when you realize that OCD tendencies are clearly genetic.

 Last weekend we went to the circus!! It was so much fun, despite Anderson's awkward expressions. He left with a new Circus sword that cost more than his actual ticket. Whatever.
 This boy and his Bobble. (I asked him what my full name is and he said, "Bobble Glover". Duh)
 We were SO close! This is not even on zoom!

* Also, there were people protesting the circus because they are cruel to animals and I was really confused. I saw the treats that they were secretly given to them whenever they did anything and all of the attention and love they were getting. They are not grazing on the Savannah or wherever elephants live, but it seemed like a pretty nice set up. Reminded me of my girls who, while they are not hunting in the wild, are still doing ok. I mean, I am pretty sure pillows and chicken broth in your dog food do not happen for wild canines. Point is, I think the circus animals are fine.
Because what screams "Circus" more than an overpriced snow cone in an elephant bowl?

  1. Love these pics! (and I agree - I think the cirus animals have an ok gig). OCD is definitely genetic. Jed already demands that any tags in his shirts be cut out because they are "itchy."

  2. Bobble Glover - got to love it. Really neat pictures and I love Anderson and his "best friend" how nice that in 40 years they can say we have been friends since we were babies.

  4. I did not even know the circus was in town! I am the worst mom. Oh well. So, I totally read one sentence wrong and began asking myself why put put pillows in their dog food. :) Anyway, Anderson is adorable and I love that photo of him jumping - such a great catch!
