Except from "I Love you the Purplest" for big fry on his 12th birthday
...I love you the reddest
I love you the color of the sky before it blazes into night.
I love you the color of the leopard's eyes
when it prowls through the jungle,
and the color of the campfire at the edge of the flame.
A wide open hug. The swirl of a magic cape.
The thunder of a shout.
The smile on Max's face grew and grew until his cheeks couldn't hold it in.
Then it came out in a big, thundery laugh.
To you big fry and all your many colors
Purple for your wide open heart that warms everyone you meet
Yellow for our contagious smile
Blue for the deep neverending passion for what you believe to be true
Happy Birthday!

happy birthday A! these kids are all just growing up so fast. did you guys do anything fun to celebrate?
Beautiful! I know you love him so much, Cher. I hope that you got to celebrate the day without fricken fractions.
Carey-We played laser tag, had pizza, ice cream cake and a sleepover-it a little too much stimulation for big fry a couple of times but otherwise fun
Karen-We survived the daily work of frickin fractions but bombed the test, we have now moved on to painful poetry:)
Cher, I got the SchoolFusion email at 9:00 last night that said, "Our test over every single thing we have studied this year is tomorrow. I sent home all of the tests your child took in math this year and he/she is to work through all the problems."
Yeah, not so much. IF he brought them home they never left his backpack. Thanks, Teach.
