The boys recently watched Fairly Oddparents Wishology which featured Kiss singing Rock and Roll All Nite. Max is in love with this song. He's in the yard using sticks as microphones and guitars and my personal favorite, unplugging his air guitar from the air amp to take it to the grocery store with us.
Jarrett is having such a good year!! He made honor roll last term and had perfect attendance. He's getting a President's Award For Academic Excellence. Fifth grade has been so great!!! Tonight is a dress rehearsal for the spring concert for band. Jarrett plays trumpet and while he's not good at it and quite frankly despises playing the trumpet, we did tell him if we got him a trumpet he would finish out the school year with band and he has.
I finally finished painting both boys rooms and they are seperated at last!! Max has his own brand new room which he is excited about. We decorated with Kachow (Lightening McQueen) decals and his Mater poster. We also went yardsaling and found an armoire with shelves and drawers to use as a entertainment center/dresser. I used magnetic primer on some of Jarrett's walls and now he can hang his drawings up with magnets. He still needs frames for his posters and a computer desk to complete it but he's very happy to have his own room. We got him a new, bigger dresser for his clothes and a bigger TV at the same yard sale. The old dresser the boys used to share had drawers that are just too small for Jarrett's clothes. He'll be 11 in October and is just growing like crazy!!! The old dresser has been turned into the dress-up clothes dresser which frees up a huge tote for other storage.
We have also created a Myspace page for Joey the Pirate Monkey that features videos that Jarrett has made. He was so excited to finally be able to post them online(some of them are lengthy and could not be posted to you tube or other video sites, so we were happy that myspace increased the mb that a video could be!)
I am just so proud of Jarrett!! I hope next year is as good as this one!!

I try!! Without all their creativity it would be very dull and quiet around here! We always manage to entertains ourselves if nothing else.
