It made this English major mama very happy to see a kid reading the Thesaurus for fun…until I realized he was looking up synonyms for “moron” to use in a verbal assault against his brother!

As the weather has gotten nicer and the kids spend more time outdoors, the Lego challenges have decreased in frequency. But Becky hasn’t given them up altogether! She urged her siblings the other day to participate in one – this time, it was Bible themed! Here’s Becky’s “Abraham, Isaac and the ram caught in the thicket”:
Jimmy’s “wall of Jericho, featuring a red cord with Rahab climbing down the side.”
And Susie’s “John 3:16 and cross”:
Can’t wait to see what they come up with next! You’ve heard of the phrase, “Chip off the old block.” Well, our boys are definitely chips off the old block – specifically, ICE chips! These boys love playing in the snow and ice as much as their dad! As soon as the lake froze over, the three of them spent as much time as they could out there (much to my consternation – I mean, how can you tell if it’s REALLY frozen?!?). But they had a ball! Jimmy is convinced that he needs both ice skates and an ice fishing auger for Christmas next year!
Even if playing around on frozen lakes isn’t for me, I do appreciate the beauty from a safe distance! Here’s a picture Tazie drew of her and me together on a boat (she even wrote our names without assistance!):
After I took the picture, she decided the drawing was missing something. She added the waves beneath the boat, and then drew her dad, and told me that it’s a picture of me being worried that daddy was going to fall into the water! Sounds about right – that guy is always doing crazy stuff on a boat!
I love using a digital shopping list. Every time I’m running low on something, I open up my AnyList app and add in the needed item, so it’s ready for me to view when I get to the grocery store. Since our house is full of Amazon Alexa devices, Jim set it up so I can speak to the Alexa device to ask it to automatically add items to my list. It worked like a dream, until the kids realized they could verbally add things to my list as well. So my list looked like this:
Guess someone had bacon on the brain! 😉 Tazie wasn’t trying to recreate a PJ Mask character, but I think she nailed it anyway! And I love her canine sidekick. 😉
An added bonus of remote schooling is getting to wear ALL your hats on hat day for school! (And no, the boys aren’t the same height now – Danny is standing on something, ha!)
Summer appears to like forts just as much as the kids do!
Who’s excited about learning? This kid!
Summer was content to simply observe the action…
but she didn’t stand a chance! 😉
