Deep Thoughts... by Malcolm

After staring up at our ceiling fan for a while:

"Mom, does that thing push the wind until it falls down?"

little boy's prayer...

A sweet and sincere prayer spoken by Noah a few nights ago at dinner:

Dear Heavenly Father, 

Thank you for this day.

Thank you for this food.

Please help us to eat it, 

because nobody likes it.

another kindergarten grad/ mr. quackers

This little guy is now an official 1st grader.  They take graduating kindergarten pretty seriously at St. Cyril's, so there was a full on cap and gown ceremony.  (Perhaps overkill, but adorable nonetheless)

So, now that Noah is moving on to bigger things, it's Malcolm's turn to don the SkyLander's backpack and head off to preschool in a few months.  He's just a little excited...

Before the school year ended, they had "move-up day", where all incoming students got to attend class for a few hours.  The night before, I was explaining to Malcolm what was going to happen, and asked if he wanted to know his new teacher's name (whom he has never met).  The exchange was classic Malcolm:

 "I already know his name."

"You do?"

"Yes.  His name is Mr. Quackers."

"No, Malcolm. Your teacher is a girl and her name is Ms. Fallen."

"No, it's Mr. Quackers.  I always call him that."

Sometimes, there's no point in arguing with this one.

We found this attached to our lamppost the other day:

Oh, Calvin. 

first school dance

The boys crashed our local elementary school's dance.  The younger two seemed to enjoy it most.  

Malcolm was all about the spin moves while Theo went for the more subtle slow lean.

no girls allowed

"No Girls Allowed"- for the first, but probably not last, time.
