Favorite Animals


Gavin: Shark, Snake and Tiger

Aubrey: Horse, Lamb, Chick, Rooster (and his eggs), Rabbit and Snake. Read their sounds as they come out of the mouth of the animal (sometimes this means reading right to left).

Jessi's Favorite Kid Quotes

The day after Carrie shortened the legs on the coffee table, Gavin asked me if I noticed that the coffee table was shorter. When I said I had, he responded with, "If you were the table, it would be like you're leg would get broken off."

------------------------------------------------------

I caught Aubrey picking her nose at the grocery store.
"Don't pick your nose," I tell her.
"I'm not," she says. "I'm feeling my boogers."

Being Caring


Yesterday Gavin was recognized at school for having been "caring". He got a cool little trophy (like this one, but this is not a photo of his) and to enjoy a pizza lunch with the principal. Yay, Gav!

The Squirrel Book

"The Squirrel"

"Hi, It's me, Jessi."

"Do you want to hear a story?"

"Once, a squirrel jumped on my head."

"It chased me to the car."

"When I got into the car, it knocked on my door."

"Then, it got on my windshield wipers. Then, I turned on my windshield wipers."

"It went flying off my windshield wipers."

"The End"


This book is based on a true story* that happened to our friend, Jessi, just the other day. Written and Illustrated by Aubrey. Jessi says "Kumon took her 45 minutes; this took her five."

Test Post



This is a test. Eventually I hope Aubrey and Gavin will post their thoughts and work and drawings and pictures and stories here. I can't wait!
