OH and...

I almost forgot.
This morning Ethan found a new way to say his co-op sound off.

"Napoleon Napoleon was only five foot three,
He stepped upon the railroad tracks the train he did not see.
Eeeewy goooey..."

oh fridays.

Also, a story Elaina wrote for me today:

Once upon a time...

There was a girl named Emily. One day she was picking daisies in the meadow when she found a big blue jelly bean. When Emily saw this she immeadiatly thought, "I could sell this on Ebay for a lot of money!" then she thought better of that idea and instead thought "I will have a big jelly bean feast!" Soon that idea vanished when she remembered that she didn't want to break her record of no cavities! So instead she brought it to her room as decoration in her room. She set it on her shelf and took pictures of it to put on her myspace. Then she went on a three day trip when she left her room she closed the door behind her. Right after Emily left the big jelly bean started to wiggle. Then it cracked. Out came a baby dragon. When Emily came home she discovered the dragon who she named Saphira. Saphira was friendly and soon learned to talk out loud. Soon Saphira was really big and decided to explore the world. Once she met a person who got her to tell him her story. Soon that man became a director and Saphira became a movie star in the movie Eragon. Every time Emily watched Eragon she proudly remembered Saphira.

THE END.

a little pony tailed girl growed up to be a woman

now her daddy's in the kitchen
starring out the window
scratching and a'racking his brians
how could eighteen years just up and walk away?

Boy, life sure will break your heart. And yet there is always, always hope. It amazes me. I think I'm just beginning to understand why we keep going in spite of everything, and it's bigger than me and my life. It's an awful beautiful mess out there, and yet still, there are things worth fighting for. Isn't it crazy?
