My kids are great!

My big one was an electrician for the fourth grade opera and did a fabulous job. The whole show was quite impressive. Even better than I expected. It's so cool to see him do so well. He is really growing up lately. The second half of the school year is generally when he does most of his growing up. Physically, he is past my shoulder and the mentally, emotionally, and spiritually he is shooting up just as fast. He loves to listen to Christian radio with me and will lecture anyone who doesn't use an appropriately respectful tone of voice during prayers. He is also an expert buggy car spotter!
The little one goes from wanting Dad when Mom is home to the exact opposite at lightning speed. He'll ask for ketchup on a cheeseburger and as soon as you put ketchup on it he'll say, "I don't want ketchup." He is that contrary most of the time. I'm sure it's a testing boundaries thing or something, but it gets really old. Of course, he sprinkles his contrariness with splashes of "cuter than the gerber baby". He is so sweet when he wants to be. He gets that from his dad. :)
