Thursday Theater

Posted on April 23, 2009 by Nancy

Goddess hosts Thursday Theater. Wanna join in? Go add your name to the list!

This week’s challenge is to add music to your video. Thank goodness YouTube provides an option for that! 🙂

This was taken over Easter weekend. Burke had just received a Cars remote control car…and someone seemed to be chasing Logan around with it. (Logan lets out a bunch of high-pitched squeals in this, so it’s a good thing the audio was swapped out 😉 )

Lower Case

Posted on February 22, 2009 by Nancy

Burke surprised us yesterday by writing his name…with lower case letters!

p_00390GO BURKE!!! 🙂

I’m also including the card he wrote for Daddy on Valentine’s Day. He knows what letter each person starts with, so he writes that down and then looks at me and says “And then..?”

He ended up writing out everyone’s name on Daddy’s card.

Plans of Returning to Work – Thwarted.

Posted on January 22, 2009 by Nancy

I was so psyched to head back into work today – it’s been a long time since I’ve actually been AT the office. However, a certain little boy – who was kept home from school yesterday – decided that he couldn’t stop coughing this morning.

Yep. Headed to the Doctor’s office instead of the office. Poor Burke has an ear infection. And is now on meds for 10 days. 😦

I really hope he’s feeling better by tomorrow – it sucks to be sick on your birthday!!

THAT Call From the Nurse

Posted on January 9, 2009 by Nancy

Today marks the first day I had to pick a kid up from school early – Burke got sick at school. Poor guy.

It wasn’t THAT early…and I got the call from the nurse as I was loading Logan into the car to head that way anyway. (I usually try to get to the school early so I have a place to park before all the parents who do the “pick-up” routine line up and get in the way of the parking spaces.)

Apparently, as I was walking into the building is when Burke decided to let loose. Mrs. Teacher brought him to the nurse because all of a sudden he laid down on the floor and curled up into a ball. Then got really pale. When she felt his forehead, he was fairly hot. Poor guy. 😦

Ironically, today was PJs and Slippers day at school, so he’s all set to be lounging on the couch.

Maggie’s in heaven because SHE’S in her PJs watching TV too, but she feels just fine.

Tinkerbells

Posted on December 17, 2008 by Nancy

Part of my conversation with Burke after school today:

Me: Did you guys sing today?

Burke: Yes!

Me: What song did you sing?

Burke: Tinkerbells!

Me: I don’t think I know that one. Can you sing it for me?

Burke: Yes!
(Breaks into song)
Tinkerbells, Tinkerbells, Tinker all the way….

Me: Uhhmmm….Are you sure it’s not Jingle Bells?

Burke: Nope…Tinkerbells.
(Breaks into song again…just to prove it.)

Okay then.

“Borrowed”

Posted on November 3, 2008 by Nancy

While cleaning out Burke’s pockets today after school, Mike pulled out the following:

We don’t own any little blue teddy bears, so I can only assume that Burke was trying out his pockets while at school. With 16 little blue teddy bears. I didn’t even know his pockets were that big!

They will be returning with Burke on Wednesday…

My Back Seat Driver

Posted on October 28, 2008 by Nancy

I have a little fellow in the back of my minivan who now understands what a red light means, what a green light means, and when I’m supposed to stop before hitting something. It’s actually quite cute.

Whenever I drive somewhere and Burke is in the car, he’s always on the lookout for something I may have missed. “Red light, Mommy!” “…Stop!”  (Apparently he thinks I should stop before I do…) He (semi) patiently waits for the green light and lets me know when it turns. “Green light, Mommy!” He follows the path of the road, “Turn, Mommy!” (for bends in the road) or “Uuuuup” (for a hill) and “Dooooown” (for the other side of the hill). And he knows which way I’m supposed to go, “Turn now, Mommy! That’s our house!”And “STOP! Don’t hit the car!” Or house, or fence, or whatever else is in front of me when I’m parking. (I’m sure this is all making me sound like a bad driver, but I’m really not… LOL)

What he hasn’t quite picked up yet is that I can’t just “Go Fast!” when he wants me to. There are a lot of “Burke, I can’t go faster than the car in front of me.” said on any given trip. But I have to admit, I’m usually smiling.

Every time I take Burke to his speech class at a local elementary school, he is fascinated by this huge red crayon out front. (It’s so big that I couldn’t get the top of it in the picture!)

Those Darn Monkeys

Posted on September 15, 2008 by Nancy

Burke was up a lot last night. Mike went in a few times (and actually ended up sleeping on the floor with Burke after he woke up for the 4th time), and I went in once. My conversation with Burke when I went in:

Burke: (running and jumping into my arms as I opened the door) Monkeys eat Burke’s Soup! (pause – then *gasp*) In the eye!

Me: (very sleepy at 4am – not sure I’m hearing right) Huh? Monkeys ate your soup and are in your eye??

Burke: Yes!!

Me: Uhm. Burke, did you have a bad dream?

Burke: Yeah.

We sprayed the monster spray to get rid of the bad dreams and he went back to sleep on the rocking chair (for about 1/2 hour – see above).

When I went back in to our bedroom, Mike asked if he was okay and I told him of our conversation. Apparently Burke mentioned the monkey poked him in the eye when Mike went in the time before…but Mike didn’t realize it was a dream LOL

On a totally unrelated note, when Burke woke up this morning we had the following conversation:

Burke: Friends over to Burke’s house.

Me: What friends, Burke?

Burke: School friends.

Me: Which school friend?

Burke: All friends!

Okay then.

Vultures: faemom – I usually hide out in my kitchen if it’s chocolate or something like that. I should have known better. ♦ What a Card – OMGosh! That’s the cutest thing EVER!! But OMG – I’m so not ready for that LOL! ♦ Amy and Rhonda – I know, right? The kids won’t eat what I put in front of them, but will totally mooch off of Daddy’s plate…even if it’s the same exact thing. oy. ♦ Silver – Geeez…I didn’t even THINK of that…perhaps this should be my new diet plan. Eat in front of the kids for ALL meals and snack and I’ll just starve to death 😀

Awww (again): Laura – I’m a tech writer. I have to follow the rules…it’s built in! heh Plus, I just copied and pasted from the person who passed it on to you *grin* (You just learned the secret to half of what I do all day at work LOL!)

BPS – Animal Kingdom: Cheryl – That telepathic twin parenting zone thing MUST be going on. 🙂

For the mommy meme I posted yesterday, I had my nanny take a bunch of pictures…this one didn’t make the cut because Maggie ran away at the last minute.
