My Kate Gosselin Hair

I would never ever dreamed that I would have this hair.

Here's Reese Witherspoon with Kate hair and we can dream that.

Shoot, let's even picture Angelina with it.

But me? No! no! no!

The front is ok. I can live with that. In fact, it was pretty much the do I already had, minus a few inches.

But this? This is a shaved, stubbly (so gross, I know) neck, clippered and "stacked up" as my beauty girl called it. I think it's just jacked up.

But I am rejoicing that I don't have the spiky fringe that's on top of the classic Kate 'do.

If she'd gone that far, I would have just had to shave it all off.

As it is, I am just saying, "C'mon, grow, hair, grow!"

Grant's Words

4th Grade Science Test Question

Suppose something in your food chain is destroyed. Tell what its loss might mean to other living things in the forest.

Grant: If the sun was destroyed, the grass would die. Then the deer would have no food and die. So my dad couldn't hunt them for meat. If I didn't have deer meat, then I wouldn't be happy.

Full credit.

Us Lately

As you might have seen, Sam has been to the apple farm with his preschool class. If you didn't already know that, you'll see more pictures from that day on my big flub up posts from earlier this week when I thought I knew what I was doing...

Here is the famous tiger bike right before its retirement this past weekend. Sam didn't need the training wheels for the past two years, but we couldn't convince him of that. He is begging to have the training wheels put onto his new bike so it doesn't fall over when he parks it. Why don't these little kid bikes come with kick stands? That's my question.

Caroline had her school's Fall Festival last Saturday and came home looking like this. On purpose. After waiting in a line for 45 minutes to get this tiger face.

This is it after one night's sleeping on it.

She enjoys a rainbow of barrettes.

She also went to the school's Wacky Hospital and got her arm cut up in a "car wreck." Sam wanted to do this, but kinda freaked out once he got in. There was blood everywhere. Fake blood but still... This was a very tame injury compared to most of the kids'.

Here's Grant doing his bike thing. Mr. Safety always wears his helmet. Good kid!


Jack's City Museum field trip was last Friday. I chaperoned.

These kids should have had on helmets at that place.

But it is so fun! Dangerous but fun!

The latest with Gary:


G= Growing

W= Wiry

G= Goatee

GRRR, the end!

For Those About to Rock...

Actually, I just had to get your attention with that awesome AC/DC title...

For those about to check out the latest Gills-A-GoGo in this backwards order way it goes, I will fill you in now that I found I could view photos from Sam's prechool site and directly send them to this blog and oh-so-cool, I thought! But now I don't know how to move them, relocate them, group them, whatever, so each picture was posted as a new entry. So as you scroll down in that backwards kind of way, maybe it'll all make sense.

And I left in the Click here to view these pictures larger link below each picture but I am doubtful that it works since I think you have to be an invited/approved member of the preschool class website. But just in case you can, I left it.

Happy Fall Y'All!

OK, this is supposed to be Sam posing with his just-picked apples. Compliance is not his style.

Mills' Apple Farm Field Trip

I don't think I knew Mrs. Mills, Sam's preschool teacher, was actually taking my picture. And I am not sure I am learning much every day because I really don't know how to group these pictures into one post. Just be patient with me and my wee techno-brain. I am no Kip Dynamite.

Sam's School

I just found out I can post pictures from his class website directly to Gills-A-GoGo, so here we go. I swear I am learning something new every day!

This is the day Sam was supposed to bring a teddy bear from home since they were studying bears. Sam refused to bring one from home so he had to use his teacher's Rainbow Peace bear. I don't think he was thrilled.
