ridiculous and cute!

Some stories:


I asked my brother Pete to help me out today by watching Calvin while I taught Relief Society. I usually trade with one of the other teachers so that I only teach on weeks when Dave is there in case Calvin needs help. I can't really trust that he can be unsupervised without a problem for an hour. Anyway, Pete came to pick up Calvin a little before 11am today so I would be free to teach with no worries.  They went to chuck-e-cheese!!! Apparently Calvin got in the car and said he'd like to go to Chuck E cheese or build a bear. Pete opted for chuck e cheese. I thought that was very funny and very sweet. If you don't know Calvin, I can tell you that when you are in charge of Calvin for an hour and you don't want to hear any bad words, see any violence or outbursts you do something he suggests and keep him happy. Bless pete!

Alexey got put on red this week at school. They have a color code: green is good, yellow is a warning and red is trouble!  Clare has never been on anything but green. Calvin is beyond the color code.... haha. Lexey had never been on anything but green all year but then this week she was on red for talking too much. She was SO PROUD of her little sheet she brought home. She hung it on the fridge and showed it to everyone. Seriously I don't think the teacher understands how much she enjoyed that little bit of attention. Hope she got the red bug out of her system!

Tonight Lex thought there was a spider on her blanket. She has a terrible fear of spiders. It might have started when she was a baby and Dave threw a spider in the bath to get the kids out of the bath faster. Anyway, she was freaking out crying and screaming. I held her and said "it's okay". Jo came over and said, I want to hold Lexey. She had lexey sit on her lap and was hugging her. It was so cute. She is a funny little baby!

Jo always has crazy hair. She either has crazy bed head or even if I do her hair she takes it out and looks like this:
