A bit of a story:  So the other day, Jack had an army BlackHawk helicopter pilot come to school and talk about his job.  Jack was seriously impressed with the presentation, and the first thing he did when he got home was create a Lego BlackHawk and fly it around.  Thomas got wind of what Jack was making and decided that he wanted to make his own Lego helicopter (pictured).  Jack, for various not-nice behaviors toward Peter, earned the consequence of being Peter's servant for a day (i.e. play whatever Peter wanted, help him get snacks, do his chores for him, etc.).  And one of Peter's first requests was to ask Jack to build him a Lego helicopter.  And then all 3 boys played army helicopters together after that.  It was neat to see the trickle-down effect that one cool presentation by a soldier had on our family for a day!

Not Amused.



The elusive smile!

Another one!  This just about makes up for all the chops this little lady has been busting lately.  :)
