Luke's favorites:
Food: Macaroni and Cheese (when he makes it--it's called Luke-aroni and Cheese)
Least Favorite Food: Broccoli (and potatoes and beans)
Books: Junie B. Jones, Garfield and Calvin and Hobbs comic books
Favorite Chore (if there is such a thing): unloading the silverware. (especially compared to Kade having to unload the dishwasher--it's a breeze!)
Least Favorite Chore: Folding his laundry. (it doesn't help that he'll unload his drawer to get a certain piece of clothing, and then take all that he's taken out and put it in the dirty clothes pile---learning natural consequences is rough!)
Color: Pink.
Least Favorite Color: Green, he calls it his 'arch enemy' because it's the color of broccoli.
Now that he's six, he tries to answer our questions during scripture study instead of letting Kade field them all. He's started to make his own sandwiches for lunch. He LOVES helping me when I'm cooking. He doesn't like most sweets--only recently started eating chocolate again. He still loves playing games!
Every time he comes across a fake plastic bug in the toys, he sneaks into our room and puts it on my pillow to hear me scream :)
He currently has a chart for Jess; every time he does something nice, Luke puts a heart on the chart, and when it's filled up, they get to go to ice cream--ha ha--way to be proactive on getting ice cream Luke!
(he also likes playing with Photo Booth on the computer and has some 'special' ones :)
His favorite body part to dance with is his bum--it's a shaking all the time!
Plus, the fact that his new favorite color is pink makes me so happy. At the first of school he liked that color, but wore a pink shirt for picture day and came home in tears saying that his friends made fun of him and he never wanted to wear pink again cause it was a girl color. But now he loves it and says it's okay that others don't. At a conference with his teacher a month ago she was complimenting him on how he doesn't have to follow a crowd and that he's his own kid and others look up to him for it. That makes me smile.
He loves reading on the toilet. But he'll stay in there FOREVER so he now has to ask if it's okay first. Ha ha--he always tries to show us the red marks on his bum, or he'll start complaining about the pins and needles in his legs. He's funny.
He has a heart of gold and wants to just LOVE everyone and everything. He loves playing and being silly and trying to be like his older brother. We love him like crazy!!!
He wanted to go to Adventure Crossings for his birthday. We only do 'friend' parties every 4 years (I know, I'm a fun hater) so we went as a family and he got to invite one friend. He picked his adorable little friend Mara. She's so sweet! After playing a round of mini golf, they were off to their favorite thing there--the Go Carts!
Here they are on "The Caterpillar of DOOM", which is actually called, 'wacky worm'.
Ha ha--it made me and Jess laugh so much by the intense speed...or lack thereof.
But the kids loved it and that's awesome.
So turns out, Luke gets motion sickness just like me--poor guy! What's even worse, is that we didn't realize how bad it was until AFTER he got on this spinney gross ride. As soon as they started moving, he ducked his head like in this picture and didn't move it the whole time. It was so sad to watch. Luckily it was the last ride of the night.
The plan was to have cake when we got home. He was so sweet and kept saying we should have cake without him. But we decided to have cake the next day and let him go to bed as soon as we got home. Which he did. Poor kid!
Here's Luke the next day--feeling much better!
(He wanted a Ben 10 cake--I attempted at first to do Ben 10's face...but that turned out to look more like a handicap Frankenstein...so we went with the omni-matrix instead. :)
