Micah, showing off his artwork.

party time!

Last night, we had a great time at Micah's End-of-year Party... food, fun, a pinata and prizes. What more could a preschooler ask for?

Actually, the visiting kittens were probably the biggest hit with the kids.
Miss Kristi, readying the pinata... very brave!

Jacob working hard on his homework...

don't hurt your brain!
meanwhile, Micah's asleep on the couch, a VERY rare occurrence around here.
