"Ice cream face"

Happy 6th Birthday!

He is 6 years old!!! And he recently started saying he exploded on the scene and we couldn't argue. He isn't one to daudle. It's go full on when it's on then collapse and rest.  So he's aptly nicknamed Zach attack! We had a great day going to an air show, out to lunch, playing in the backyard, grilled "San Antonio's" chicken for dinner and sea otter cake and neopolitan ice cream for dessert. Whew. Love this kid.

Songs of a preschooler

Clare singing a new song she learned at preschool these last couple weeks.  She loves her new teacher who has been teaching them lots of fun songs. The words are:

Criss cross, applesauce

Hands in your lap, gingersnap

Back straight, chocolate shake

On your rear, root beer

Lips zipped, cool whip

Ssshhhh!!

 

 

Another song from preschool the boys have learned/also knew but Clare likes to tickle/torture Zachary at the dinner table with this song.  Nate (sitting across from her) eggs her on to sing it and Zach has to leave the table to get away from the tickles while trying to eat dinner.  No singing at the table has been said a number of times:).

 

And then Zach is learning some new dance moves for a spring performance in music class so this song comes on and he breaks out with his newly learned moves.  getting pretty good.

 

 

 



 at the end of February we went to visit my grandparents and the kids warmed right up to them and had a lot of fun with them.  Zach conned Great-grandpa into turning on golf on the TV and just sat in his lap to watch.  they moved all the stuffed animals on their couch around and played with them all with the favorite being the big white Siberian tiger.

 

 

And this last weekend we (Pete and his dad) took down a wall in the basement opening up the space more and getting a ton more light into the ping pong area:).  the previous owner had walled off a little reading room for himself so he just undid that.  much better for us.
