Ben graduated from Nursery. He is now a bright, happy Sunbeam.
Can't you just see it?
An excuse to share pictures of our family.

First Trophy
This is Zeke with his first trophy. A golden trophy he earned all on his own.
He won it by completing all 100 lessons in the reading manual, which, you may not know, took almost two years of begging, bribing, sweating, and incredible self-discipline. I guess it's kind of a shared accomplishment.

Urban Camping
Tonight Mike is sleeping in a tent, in a parking lot, about a football field away from an ultra busy freeway. He is camping with my brother and 98 perfect strangers, striving to win a certain number of free meals from Chick-fil-a. Roughly twenty four hours ago he told me he wasn't sure it was worth it, and for sure it didn't make any sense, monetarily. Then he woke up super early, qualified as one of the 100 permitted campers, and spent all day, in the rain, in the Chick-fil-a parking lot.
It's interesting what people choose to do with their free time, no?
Mike and the tent city.
Beautiful views from the campsite.
Mike borrowed the canopy from a friend. Most campers stayed inside their tents to keep dry but Mike's group didn't have to.

Zeke's First Loose Tooth
"Wanna see the hole where my tooth was, Ben?"
"What? What hole?" Ben said, turning in his seat to look back at Zeke.
"There," Zeke pointed, holding his bottom lip down. "That's where my tooth was."
Ben looks for a moment, studying what is different. "Why'd you lose your tooth?" he asks. Zeke ignores this.
"And you're never gonna guess what's under my pillow right now! I'll show it to you when we get home."
"Oh boy, Zeke! I can't wait to see!"
"Oh yeah, you'll never guess!"
Zeke pauses for a moment, happy and excited. "Are you thinking it's a tooth, Ben?"
"Nope," Ben says, turning back around to look out his window. "I'm thinking it's a bazooka."
That's what I heard on the way home from preschool. I tried so hard to remember it word for word because it made me laugh. They continued the discussion by debating whether the tooth fairy could carry a bazooka, but Lily was crying for that part so I can't reproduce it here.
