THOMAS' LEPRECHAUN TRAP

First-I've been corrected, it's not a leprechaun trap, it's the McThomas Hotel...so the leprechaun will want to stay in this comfy cozy place!

I don't know who had more fun making it, Jeff or Thomas! They probably spend 3 hours deciding the many different elements. Did you notice the flat screen tv with Golf? Or the acquarium or the soft chairs and bed to take a rest on?

When he went out to recess, all the kids got their traps (or hotel) ready to catch that sneaky guy...when they came back, the chairs were all turned over and a couple of tables were also turned upside down. No one caught him, but Thomas had a couple of footprints on his hotel and he left him 2 pieces of leprechaun gold!

I've never seen him come home so happy!

ASHLEY'S LAST SWIM MEET 2009

Here are some pictures of Ashley swimming at her last swim meet. She did really well this year and looks forward to next year! We are so proud of her for all her hard work!!!

Getting all ready...

They all threw their coach in after the meet was finished!!! I wish I would've kept my camera out, because he did a back stroke and blew water out of his mouth like a fountain for added effect!

EGG SHELLS IN THE GARDEN...

Last week, I made German Pancakes for breakfast and Thomas wanted to put the egg shells in the garden. I thought he looked cute in Jeff's basketball shoes! (He didn't have a pair of his shoes by the back door so he put on Jeff's!) One day-sooner than I would probably like-I know he'll fill Jeff's shoes!...my heart took a picture at this moment...

THOMAS' 6TH BIRTHDAY!!!

Thomas with his favorite-remote control airplaine!!!

He wanted carrot cake-YUMMY!

Birthday part with 9 boys-Thomas was in HEAVEN!!!

Eating cupcakes!

Thomas had such a fun birthday! He had blueberry pancakes for dinner and carrot cake for dessert-I couldn't complain! The next day, he had a friend birthday party with a car theme...we make a car craft, played mario kart and Jeff came up with other fun games to keep them all busy!

I can't believe my little boy is 6! Where has the time gone?!

ZULLA

Here are some pictures of Zulla, our whippet. She's very shy and still doesn't come to us when we call her name, but she is a very good dog, doesn't bite, bark much or have any more accidents in the house. She love Thomas' webkinz-which sometimes is quite a big problem! He gave her his fish and she loves us to throw it so she can catch it. She still shakes like a leaf when I take her out to the bus stop with Thomas...hopefully she'll get over it soon!!!

ASHLEY'S 1ST SWIM MEET!!!

I couldn't make to the whole meet, but I'm glad I made it in time for this event! She did AWESOME! She's the 2nd swimmer in the relay in the lane closest to the camera. Way to go, Ashley!!!
