Budding chef?

Nate has decided tonight that instead of reading books (maybe his favorite thing in the whole world), he is going to create a recipe for a chicken wing marinade.

It was a bit cold at Nile's baseball game Monday evening. 

Early bird

Actual words that came out of Novak's mouth at 5:30 am this morning:

"Mom, I slept in!"

The sad part?  It's true. 

Although I think he's still a bit tired. 

Dinosaur habitat

Novak made a "dinosaur habitat" at preschool this week. He was very excited to show it off. 

He carefully explained that he had water (with rocks), trees (stuck in clay), and land. Because his dinosaur is a triceratops and needed plants to eat.

One to go!  

I think he looks adorable. :)

Preschool spring program

Novak had his first preschool program on Thursday. His preschool only does one program a year, so this was his first time "on stage."

At one point in the program his teacher came around with the microphone to let each child tell what his or her favorite part of preschool is. 

After five kids all stated some version of "playing with <insert best friend's name here>" it was Novak's turn.  

He promptly grabbed the microphone out of her hand and turned to the audience. 

"Well.  My favorite part of preschool is playing outside. On the slides."

We certainly don't have a shy boy. :)

If my face were a TV, could I get this type of undivided attention?
