I don't know what is normal

 Seth got really into his class mock election of gummy bears vs  sourpatch kids.  

At Seth's parent teacher conference I learned that only a couple kids made a poster...
and then there's Seth who wrote 6 "speeches."

My favorite is on the fridge: "You Will Feel The Power, When You taste the Sour! -- Vote for Sour Patchkids!" 

I thought that was clever.

Sourpatch kids won 19-4

Last week his school was having a book fair.  

I bought the entire series of A-Z mysteries for Seth to read.

He finished the Z mystery today.

2,000 pages in a week in a half.

He read by himself.

Seth's DIBELS scores came back.

Over all 95% in the nation

99% in math (what??)

and 94% in reading

I look at the target line.. the goal for 1st graders 30 Seth's at 90... 4 Seth's at 20.

But I see Seth as a normal kid.

I'm a bit stunned sometimes.

He is not normal... is he?

And some general cuteness:

Falling

Today we took a walk around the arboretum:

Silly faces:

Then went to "A Year of Frog and Toad" 

I can't remember...

Did we talk about fake fishing?

Seth's soccer?

 WSU Organic farm?

Hockey? 

It's funner with friends:

Swimming: Levi is a gator now and can swim the length of the pool

 Raya is a turtle... soon to be frog, she is swimming!

Playing in fall with friends:

bike racing:

I love having a full life, but it makes it hard to document!

We didn't pop and Levi ate everything!

Happy Birthday to the funniest, craziest, smartest five year old I know!
