Ain't No Future In Yo Frontin'

In college I listened to "Ain't No Future in Yo Frontin" by Bootleg/MCBreed no less than 1000 times (remember this Kelly?).  There is a line in the song when he says "I got dollars in my pocket not from rollin', I'm a Navigator rider it ain't stolen".  Wip and Preston totally took me back to listening to that song when they went riding in the pink Navigator.  Check it out...

On the way home from playing with Preston, Aunt Fe Fe gave Wip a popsicle.  He does not really have the eating a popsicle and walking thing down.  Duncan and I were a few houses ahead and I looked back and said "Wip, pick it up buddy" and he responded "but mommy I not drop anything". Gosh he makes me laugh.

Wip's 2012 NCAA Pick is...

This is what he told me this morning...

The Yuppiest Morning Ever

Our errands this morning included Trader Joe's, Starbucks, J.Crew and a KCD baseball game.  

Could that list be anymore yuppified? 

Starting the day with these two is pretty perfect

Ready to go

Mommy juice

Seriously?

I would love to know what these boys are talking about

Nashe and Wip hanging out

Daddy and Duncan

Zoo with Friends

Is it March?  Yes.  Is it 86 degrees outside?  Yes. Does that mean we needed a trip to the zoo with our friends?  Absolutely!

We picked up Israel for an afternoon of fun and Wip passed out on the way to his house.  I started a conversation with Israel (while Wip was asleep) and asked him what his favorite music instrument was, he replied "symbols".  He then asked me what I thought that Wip's favorite music instrument was and I told him that Wip enjoyed the piano.  Israel replied "yeah, I can see him as a Beethoven".  Not kidding, I almost lost it I was laughing so hard.

Aunt Fe Fe was kind enough to transport Duncan so that I could fit Israel and Wip in my car.  The kids were so excited to get into the zoo!

Sadly the hippos were not around, but that did not stop these boys from searching.

Preston is pretty good at smiling for the camera.  

You can tell that these little people have their picture taken (a lot!).  As soon as I tried to get them to sit together all they kept saying was "CHEEEEEEEEESE".

This was one of my favorite moments of the day...I told the boys that their daddy's went to school together.  They were going back and forth with Israel saying "my daddy is Scott" and Wip saying "my daddy is Patrick".  It was pretty cute.

Just a poon full of sugar...

Mary Poppins came to town!  Wip and Mimi had a date for the THREE hour show.  After lunch at Ghyslain it was time to get their chim chimany on.  With all of the fun music and flying characters it was hard not to be entertained. Mimi said that he lasted until fifteen minutes were left and then crashed as soon as they got to the car.  Such a great afternoon!

He's Crafty

All I could think of when creating this post was "She's Crafty" by the Beastie Boys.  Here is a display of Wip's art projects from his time in the Turtle Class with Ms. Marie.

March Madness

Just like March Madness is all over the place (hello Lehigh beating Duke!) so is this post.

All week long Wip kept talking about a book that he was reading at school "Patrick the Elephant". He talked about it so much that I wrote a note to Ms. Marie telling her how much he enjoyed the book.  Well, I got the weekly newsletter today and the book is actually called "Elmer the Patchwork Elephant".

 Ooops.

During nap time today Wip told me that he was going to read me a book. He picked out some advanced reading:

When he got to this page, he said apple, bread, cake, and pine cone.  For some reason this made me laugh.

Finally, just as March Madness teaches us, anything can happen. I bleed blue, but wish the Dores good luck.
