Current Event Haikus



Kids in year-round school
Longingly gazing outside
Endure two more weeks

Pierced ears for Miss T
The constant search for mirrors
Girl is growing up

My son, the source of
Exasperation and pride
In equal measure

Impetuous E
Mining for boogers one day
Found one, said "Ta Da!"


Father's Day success
Presents given every hour
Happy Dad is good


Weight-loss endeavor
Planning meals and exercise
Four pounds lost last week

Personal Record
Jogging the paved neighborhood
Three point seven miles

Got some new best friends
Ancient History, Shakespeare
Read, Write, Test, Repeat


DH and the kids
Musical rehearsal bound
More on that later

Busy, busy, sleep
Busy, busy, eat, busy
Busy, busy, sleep

You're just so creative sometimes. I can't even handle it. How exciting for little T! R is a stud. And E makes me laugh. "Ta-da!"...haha.

Loved your poetry.
You're so good at ev'rything.
Glad to be best friends.

We'll come to the play.
Just the older kids and me.
No babies allowed.

See you in the mud.
I'll be racing that day, too.
"Muddy Mr. Ts."

Wish you lived closer!
We would hang out all the time.
Maybe when we're old. :)

I thought I'd be cool and write a haiku comment... then I thought "I'm not that cool and I am too lazy"... then I saw Jen already did it so HAHA it wouldn't have been that cool anyway! Very clever idea- love the fam updates! :)
