Leap into Reading

Today at school Caleb and Ethan have a special day to celebrate Leap Year...Leap into Reading! They had to dress up like a character from their favorite book. Their school has all kinds of fun things planned today including a parade around the school with all the kids and teachers in their costumes. They also are ending the day with a chapel and will be talking about the greatest book of all!

It can be stressful trying to figure out these costumes and "who to be" but I am so thankful for fun days like this. Both boys were beyond excited this morning! So I wanted to share some pictures. :)

Here is JACK from Magic Tree House: Ghost Town at Sundown

Dog

Kevin told the boys years ago that when Caleb turns 10 we will get a dog. Well this week Caleb turns 9, so there has been a lot of talk of next year's Birthday. We were all in the van on the way to church yesterday and the boys were talking about our "future dog". Kevin reminded them that they will all have jobs to do to help with the dog...feeding, walking, etc. Levi pipes in and says...

"My job will be to pet him"

Beans

So Levi had us laughing at the dinner table again last night. I had made green Beans for the vegetable with our meal. However Mr. Levi is not a fan of them, so he says to me...

"Mom, while you were Zip-lining Grandma didn't make me eat Beans"

Love how detailed he is, not just "while you were gone"....it's while you were Zip-lining! What a kid!

Blue

Last night I made a new recipe, it was a Taco Casserole. The boys did not like it at all. We heard things like disgusting, gross, etc. but the best was Levi's....

"I think it has blue in it"

*For those of you who don't know Levi is allergic to Blue (and actually we are starting to think Red too)...Cotton Candy, certain Popsicles, most Fruit snacks, lots of Juices, and many more things. It's actually quite crazy all the things that have Blue in it. And sometimes his reaction just depends on how much Blue is in it. So really we just try and stay away from everything with Blue. Levi is good about it and knows he can't have it, because then he gets hives (aka Itchy Itch) all on his neck, stomach, etc. So last night he was hoping the casserole had blue in it too! :)
