Easter






Happy Easter Ya'll
OK, I know that this is late - but when you have as many CF cards as I do you start to forget where all your images are, and sometimes they get lost with my photography images.  Anyway I wanted to share a few cute pictures of easter.  James, Addy and David dyed eggs and James and David had a good time, Addy however was not to thrilled when daddy put a sticker on her.  We then went to Doug and Phoebe's for Easter dinner and Phoebe put together a killer easter egg hunt.  Some of the eggs had money in them and James thought that he was on cloud 9!  Addy is still looking for eggs at home, hoping that she will get lucky all over again.  

LandSharks!!


So we have finally finished our Landsharks season - James did a wonderful job and I absolutely loved to coach the team again.  The coach is leaving this year and so I will be the new head coach for next year.   I am very excited but quite nervous.  But enough about me - the whole reason that I wanted to share this with you was to share another "James'ism"  James had to go to Taekwondo today with David and then left there and came straight to Landsharks.  Unfortunately he missed his race, so we decided to let him run with the third and forth grade boys in the 800M.  I asked him if he thought that he could run the full two laps and he said "Yes Mam!"  Well the whistle blew and he was off!  He however felt the need to explain his predicament to quite a few participants in the race.  A parent came up to me and told me the story.  He said, he was cheering for his son, when he heard James run up to him and said Hi!, I'm James Heninger, I am in Kindergarten and I am running in this race, I was at Taekwondo and was late so I am running in this race"  The father laughed that James was talking to everyone around him - instead of focusing on running the race.  The father then started to cheer his son on (I think to get him to stop listening to james' conversation and just run :)) James, being as charismatic as he is turned to the dad and said Hi! my name is James Heninger and you can cheer for me too!

Oh how I love this boy!

Don't squeeze the Charmin!


Well, we just got back from parent teacher conference with James' kindergarten teacher. She has been teaching close to 30 years and she told us that James has made her top ten list of student stories of her career. She told us that James came out of the bathroom and was complaining about the toilet paper and told her that the "toilet paper is no good" he told her that she needs to get Charmin. Mrs Ray told James that she has Charmin at home but that she does not buy the toilet paper for the school. Mrs. Ray thought that was the end of the discussion. (oh, how we know different). A little while later Mrs Ray noticed that James was not in class, she located him in the Assistant Principal's office. Apparently, he went to the front office, told the secretary's there that the toilet paper in the school was not good and that they needed some Charmin, he then asked them who he needed to speak to get that changed. He was escorted to the Assistant Principal's office where he apparently plead his case. The Monday after spring break the Kindergarten, afternoon class will be having a Charmin test. Each child in the class will be wiping their noses with the Charmin and the "other brand" to find out which one is better. I wonder who will win... To be continued...
