Wade's got jokes

At least, he thinks he does :) He tries to come up with jokes on his own, but 99.9% of the time, they don't make sense. "Mom, I think you have a shirt in your ear. Hahahahaha!" There are others in actual joke format (what do you call a....) but they are so completely random, I don't remember them!

We are also still into science experiments. We have made BUCKETS of slime, our own bouncy balls (fail), more "queasy bake" cakes, our own play dough (super cool) BOAT LOADS of oobleck, and an ant farm (killed the ant colony by accident) recently.

Into the oven

Mmmm cake

Tasting the results

Ant farm. Before the ants got busy tunneling

Slime!

 

 

Making potions with paint

And then there was this...

 

Home-made play dough

 

Wade has been trying his hardest to sleep in his own room, in his own bed. ALL. NIGHT. LONG. He did well for two weeks, earned himself 14 stickers and two Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Then something happened and we found him waking us up multiple times a night. He was hungry, thirsty, needed a hug, was tired (what?), wanted to be tucked in, had a nightmare, etc., etc., etc. He was not allowed to sleep back in our room, but was more than welcome to bunk in the office on the futon. Which he did a handful of times. I think we may be back on track now (fingers crossed), but this has been/is a loooong process. I keep telling myself that he won't be in high school sleeping on the floor in our bedroom. I hope. 

 

I think Wade would live outside if he could. His sandbox, the kiddie pool, his dump trucks, the dogs and any random garden tool or pile of dirt are his favorite things to play with :)

 



 He has been earning a few extra coins by watering Umma's plants while they are on vacation. Sometimes (every single time) he gets his shorts soaking wet and had to finish the job in his undies :)

 New haircut! He was very opinionated this time and wanted his hair, "short like Daddy's." I said he could have it short, just not that short :)

Every time we go to the frozen yogurt place he licks the bowl clean. Yes we do feed him!

We pulled out all the stops for the 4th rainy day in a row. We stomped in puddles, painted, had indoor balloon rocket races and then Wade decided he wanted to make a spider web with yarn and tape. We all survived. Although I love the rain, I am hoping it comes to an end soon. We need to get out of the house!
