flying fun with nathan

It's good to be 9. Paper airplanes and moms are still "cool". : ) 

Boys take over mom's lap top... take mom captive

Today's Headlines: crazy-eyed boy captures mother and smallish boy & takes captives up to planet Zanathan for strange science experiments and forces smallish boy (we'll call him Andrew) to jump on pogo stick for 79 days. The end. (note: story and photo by nathan, 9, andrew, 5, & happy mom, 30-something)

Awesome...Freedom

Nutracker

Nathan and I went to our 2nd annual date to see the Nutcracker ballet. He loves the sword fighting and then during the "long" grand pas de deaux, he played with his Nutcracker wooden toy. He fidgeted so much that the Nutcracker's sword from his toy flew into the seat in front of us. 

Afterwards, he chose Fudruckers for a hamburger (give this boy some beef, and he's quite happy). He told me: he loves the Aggies, Texans, wants to be a professional soccer player, doesn't like kissing (he watched It's a Wonderful Life on my ipod on the way, and he fast forwarded the part where George Bailey and Mary kiss the first time), loves pepper on his fries (no catsup), and thinks that I'm prettier with my hair down. : ) Other thoughts: his favorite Christmas song is Carol of the Bells. And, we jammed to Over the Rainbow on my ipod on the way home (he played DJ). 

In loving memory

In loving memory of Great Grandfather to Andrew & Nathan
