Last Karate Night.

Well, this is it folks. The end of the free month of karate, what a seriously cool thing this has been!!

And the (un)ceremonial board breaking... drum roll please.

"Fox, can I take the boys fishing?"

Hm, can the boys go fishing??

Twist my arm...

ok!

The spoils from the first "spring?" fishing trip:

Rulon thought his albino trout was cool.

But not as cool as the normal looking one.

Mads did NOT think his albino catch was cool, definitely creepy.

Mads had the moster catch of the day with his Lightening McQueen fishing pole, Take THAT!!

Nothing warms a mom's heart like happy boys!

Look out fish... the boys are warming up!!

More Karate

Mads LOVES Mr. Mickey, their instructor.  He was underfoot declaring his love with great volume and sincerity before class started. "MR MICKEY, I knew you would be here! I love... I love to... I LOVE to be with you!!"  The other mom's were laughing and loving it too.  Rulon is very serious and focused in class, he is super fun to watch.

Oh for the love of money, I'd keep em both in karate if they accepted bottle caps or "i love you's" as payment.

Mads gets in a few extra "aeeeyah's"

send it back, its a box of trouble.

late one night-
Me: "Chester, should we toss the box before the boys ever know it existed? Or keep it for 'fun times'?"
Chesty: " oh keep it, boxes are great!" (or something like that)
the next morning-
Thump, THUMP, thmmmp, bam!
Rulon crying, "aaaaaaah, mommmmmmm, MOMMM!"
A grumpy Mads simultaneously marches into my room, "Mom, I'm upset and I don't know why I'm upset but I pushed Rulon right down the stairs in that box and now his crying is really annoying me!"
Me, "Really. You sit here until I get back."
Looking down the stairs I see an upright box full of Rulon and his tears looking up at me...
Rulon, "I don't know why Mads did that to me!!!!!!!!!!! I hurt my dumb head rolling down these dumb stairs in this dumb box!"

Good idea, you know, keeping the box.  :)

Need your car towed?

We've got just the guy for the job.
