Slice of Life: JB

At recess, Bailey and me and Jeff and Allie were playing tag. All green was base. It was fun. First Jeff was it, then Bailey was it, then Bailey accidentally pushed Allie.

AW: Slice of Life

We went to my grandma's house and then we came home because my brother was mad.

Slice of Life: Mrs. Overman #4

Mom, don't read this. It will only solidify what we all know to be true.

Ian loves his "Upa" (22-month-old language for "Grandpa"). With Daddy gone all week, it's been rough. Each morning I've entered Ian's room to hear him say "Daaa?" ("Where's Dad?") only to reply with "Honey, he's not here today. Only a couple more days."

I hear, "Maa! Maa! Mimi! Mimi!" ("Mommy, pick me up!") from the next room. I throw back the flannel sheets, step over Sophie (who has, by the way, positioned herself directly where my feet hit the floor first thing in the morning), and turn the corner to see a smiling toddler face saying, "Daa?" 

"Honey, Daddy's still at work, remember?"
"Uma?" ("Is Grandma here?")
"Yes, baby."
"Upa?!" ("Is Grandpa here?")
"Yes. Do you want to see them?"

Ian says, "Uh huh!" while clapping his hands excitedly and we round the corner into Grandma and Grandpa's guest room.

Slice of Life: Mrs. Overman #3

I closed the door to Ian's room as he slipped into his nap and walked down the hall. Where are the dogs? I thought. As soon as I turned the corner I saw Sophie on the couch, exactly where she is NEVER allowed to be! "Sophie Anne! What do you think you are doing?!?!!" I said. Her head popped up and she showed me her big gray eyes as if to say, "Oh, Mom, I forgot you were here!"

Double Slice of Life: Allie

Slice 1: Today I thought I should make a picture so I did and I made a beautiful flower for my gym teacher Mrs. Boston.

Slice 2: Today I had a bird chirping out my window. It was so beautiful I almost fell asleep.

Slice of Life: EllaMae

We had a sub this morning. And a sub bus! I was shaking this morning because it was cold and the bus was coming.
