We recently sat at the dining room table eating eggs, biscuits and gravy for dinner. I encouraged Jeremiah to eat his scrambled eggs because, “eggs make you smart.” I often say this to him because eggs are in fact, good for brain function. [Or at least that's what scientists say lately.]
Jeremiah reluctantly took another bite then said,
“How can eggs make you smart? It’s not like they tell you something you don’t know.”
So you think you can beat me at bingo?!
Yesterday the kids and I enjoyed/endured two hours of free bingo. Jeremiah takes his bingo playing very serious… Sarah not so much. Each of us won once. The prizes: Three $10 Wal-Mart giftcards. Awesome! The night before I had gotten upset about spending too much of our grocery money. This took care of that worry.
I know, I know I shouldn’t have worried at all. God always provides.
Bingo!
I found this watercolor of a dragon guarding his treasure in Jeremiah’s backpack yesterday. I’m terribly impressed with it. I think I might have to frame it.
Jeremiah just realized that he can read the Bible to himself. After trying out a few versions, he’s gotten comfortable with the NLT HoneyWord Bible
Well, my little man is very excited to finally be embarking upon Summer Break. He did awesome in Kindergarten…and in case anyone ever doubted that I’m a proud parent who tends to brag incessantly about her children… well let me clear up that misconception right now.
Jeremiah got the Good Citizenship award for his class. Which I guess, is a big deal. He got an award and a free Qdoba meal and [this is the big part] he got to bring home the class field day banner… which I will have to post a photo of because occasionally this is a mom-blog.
In addition, I’m obligated to share this photo too.
Joel entered me in a local radio station’s Mother’s Day contest. I just told Jeremiah that I didn’t win. I suggested that maybe they found a better mom… He thought about it a bit then said,
“Maybe they saw a mom that is a Marine who goes into space and plays baseball games and always gets home runs…”
Wow, that would deserve a new washer and dryer.
Jeremiah is reading a book aloud. My adorable son is reading Dr. Seuss to me right now. He’s on page 60.
It is past our bed time. I’ve had an exhausting, frustrating day…
And I am completely in love with this little man. Just being with him makes life seem so much more bearable.

I do so like
green eggs and ham!
Thank you!
Thank you,
Sam-I-Am!
