Week One Hundred and Fifty-Eight

Apparently, Zeeke has been experimenting with being the class cop instead of the class delinquent this week.  He was heard telling misbehaving classmates to "Focus!" and warning them of imminent timeouts should their antics continue.  We doubt he'll stay on the right side of the law for long, but it's nice for now.

Thursday, Zeeke made Steve pop all of the balloons from his party because "it's not my birthday anymore."

Friday, Karen & Zeeke accompanied his school on a trip to Smith Playground.  He had a great time there playing there, but the best fun was just riding the bus with his friends.

Saturday morning, Steve & Zeeke dropped Karen off at work, then headed off for an action-packed morning of Target shopping, testing out his new sidewalk chalk at the playground, and music class.

Sunday morning, we went to the playground in the morning and had a surprise reunion with many of his friends from school: Odin, Lettie, Amelie, Delano.  After his nap, we went over to Dena's house for dinner her and her mom.  The funk-and-disco dance party afterward was pretty epic.

Conversations with Zeeke:

"Daddy, I ate a tree and I choked!"
"Oh no!"
"Then the tree ate me. And it got stung by a bee so the tree put the bee behind a gate."
"That was smart of it."
"And then the tree made a car. Because it was lonely."

"Zeeke, are mommy and daddy in love?"
"Nooooooo...."
"Who is in love?"
"Me and Sadie!"
