Rockstar

Alison loves Hanna Montana! And she loves to sing. Unfortunately, she sings flat. John has an ear for music and can not stand it when she sings. So me being the great mom that I am, I encourage her to get the microphone and sing! She just loves to put on music and sing and dance. This was the best $30 I have ever spent for her!

Please explain

Mom on the phone while driving: "Okay, we will be knocking on your door shortly. Bye."
Alison: "Why do we have to knock shortly?"

John: "Mom, did you have tv when you were little?"
Me: "Yes."
John: "Cool!"

Back To School

Butterfly Class

1st Grade

It is finally here! School has started and all of us are so happy! John is loving 1st grade. His teacher, Mrs. Gorman says that he is doing so well. She wishes some of the other kids were as good as him! He is so excited to be reading and learning about compound words. One funny thing, there is another John Davis in his class! Both of the mom's are Jennifer as well! What are the odds of that?

Alison is in the Butterfly class at Marlyhurst. She goes Monday thru Thursday from 9am to 1pm. She is having a blast. She is meeting new friends, doing art and playing. She loves writing her name and picking out jobs to do at school. I am working every Wednesday in the office to help with the cost of tuition.

Both kids are having a great time and are so tired at the end of the day. They are in bed and asleep by 8pm!

Honest John

We went to a home to buy a Karaoke machine that was advertised on Craig's List. It was a small home and they are in the process of moving. The woman had us follow her to the room that the machine was in. It was not the most tidy of homes and then there were packing boxes on top of that. She apologized for the mess and made a comment to the effect of "if you can make it through all of the clutter". John was in the lead and he replied in his most polite and cheerful voice, with a chuckle: "Yea, I am trying hard to!"

Obsessed With...

Hair color!

3D breakfast!

Right now we can't get enough of the Jonas Brothers and Hannah Montana, aka Miley Cyrus! We just bought the new Hanna Montana 3D movie and Camp Rock! Every time we are in the car it is the Jonas Brothers CD that we are rocking out to! I have even tried to get a Jonas Brothers song as the ring tone for my cell phone! What can we say, they are that good!

Say What?

I just finished wiping Alison's bottom in the bathroom. As I am helping her put on her panties she asks me why I am always touching her bottom? I tell her that I don't always touch her bottom and I point out that I am not touching it right now. To which she quickly bends over putting her bottom in my face and tells me to touch it, and smell it!

me: I am not going to touch or smell your bottom!

Alison: It smells like chocolate!

me: I don't think so!

Earlier in the morning Alison asked if she could pick a movie. I said yes. She finally picked one and I was in the kitchen while she was putting it in the DVD player.

me: What movie did you pick?

A: The Dreamworks movies.

me: Oh, Pixar Shorts.

A: No, it is long.

OMSI

We just went to OMSI (Oregon Museum of Science and Industry) with the McBride family. It was so much fun. The Dinosaur exhibit from China is here right now. That was fun to see. We even saw a laser light show! The kids really enjoyed themselves and spending time with their friends.

Kids behind the sign, too hard to see.
