Cheers to Hunter!

Alright, I am well aware of how random my blog is. I don't know that I have ever seen such a mish mosh of every this and that. I have thought long and hard about it and tried to decide if I should divide it up and put crafts on another blog, but then I came the the conclusion that he mish mosh of randomness is my life. That the little crazy moments that I blog here are the ones that I want to remember. They are the ones that matter to me. So, I hope that you will bear with the fiasco that this blog has become and just chalk it up to the fact that I am a random kind of gal.

So onto another random happy moment in the Nelson family. Hunter has memorized the "Pledge of Allegiance" at preschool (please note his sad looking owie he got while skateboarding on the only warm day this year.  He actually crashed twice in about 10 minutes and has another one on his tummy.  Very sad). None of my other kids have had to pass that off, although they did learn it first at Jacque's awesome preschool. I think it is a new requirement and he is BURSTING HIS BUTTONS he is so proud of himself. Now if that isn't something of note, I don't know what is. He also got to be the class leader on the day he passed of the Pledge and so he came out of preschool to meet me positively decorated in badges.  Good day huh?
I can't tell you how many times we are either coming or going to preschool and he starts reciting the Pledge. Lincoln of course not wanting to be shown up chimes in and we head down the road to the rhythm of their patriotic little voices. I actually have to admit when I hear them reciting it my buttons are close to burstin' too.
And as I was telling Hunter that I was proud of him and what a genius he was for memorizing the Pledge, he stuck up his little piggies for a picture (I guess he is also proud of his flips). We bought some flips at The Children's Place (for $3-sweet!) and he wears them WHENEVER he can get away with it. I told him they are for when the weather turns warm and he has pointed out that it is warm in our house. Hunter usually gets the best of me, so of course I told him that he can wear them in the house (and he sneaks them OUT of the house whenever possible). He is in LOVE with his "army fwip fwops".
