The Magic Wand

So yesterday when I picked up Cameron from school, the first thing he said was, "I can't wait for Amanda's Birthday."

Me: "Why?"

Cameron:  "Because she is making me a green magic wand with rainbow stripes.  It doesn't do anything real."

He then proceeded to tell me that Amanda's wand has streamers, but Nicholas' doesn't and his won't have streamers.  He continued to talk about these magic wands and how Amanda has a magic spell book.  All of this came about when we decided to take a late, last minute drive to the States on Sunday evening to do some quick grocery shopping.  I dropped off Cameron at Nicole's so that he could play with his cousins.  When I went to pick him up he was under Amanda's spells.  Cameron told me that Amanda placed a spell on him that he could walk through walls, but that he couldn't walk through walls because it is just pretend.  He then proceeded to tell me that the spell to make him run very fast didn't work either.

I guess the activity of today will be homework???????  Here Cameron is working on his dictee...

The goal is by Thursday, he will have this phrase memorized for his test.  Usually we have dictee's on Friday, but this Friday is a teacher appreciation day, so there is no school.  We'll report back on how he does.

On a positive note, our lego collection got moved to Cameron's room on his pencil case bookshelf.  They look much better here, don't they????

Emmersyn was so funny the other day when she came out of her room wearing her headband and glasses.

Hanging out with a good friend, Boofo!

And just a random activity from Mohamed....a quick run on the broken treadmill.

And here is my activity of the day.....Emmersyn was upset that it was Cameron's turn to go to swimming tonight, so I offered to take her for a run in the stroller.  I had so much fun!  It feels sooooo good to run outside and not on a treadmill.  I need to get myself some running gear so I can have some fun runs outside.  My inner ears are still sore as I'm writing this from the cold.  

I wonder what fun activities we will do tomorrow?????
