Nerf guns and Justin's early birthday

Posted by Picasa
Before we headed to Texas, we celebrated Justin's birthday with a homemade chiffon strawberry shortcake, courtesy of the smitten kitchen recipe. It was very good but very labor intensive. I am just glad it made Justin happy.
Justin also recently bought the kids Nerf guns. Noah can't shoot his, but we have had a great time playing war with each other: Noah and me against Justin and Karis. Karis is a very good shot. She loves to sneak up on me and shot me at any time of the day. She keeps me on my toes.
Things around here have gotten back to normal with Karis finishing her reading, she has learned all her consonant sounds and will start the vowels and learning small words. She is very excited, and we celebrated her finished books with lunch out today and a trip to Target to look at the toys!
I will eventually post pictures from our Texas trip, even though I seemed to have erased the best ones. Sometimes I don't know what the heck I am thinking or doing!
