Bright as the Sun

I love these two pictures by Becky.  One is a close-up of the sun’s face (“fas”), including hair (“har”), glasses (“glasis”), cheeks (“ceks”), and even hands (“hadns”) holding a juice box (“jos box”).  The other is a Sun Family (“Famale”) – look how she made the top of the letter “S” into a sun itself!  Seeing these drawings definitely “brightened” my day!

Midnight Madness

I recently had to wake Jimmy up in the middle of the night to change his diaper, so after I was done, I let him snuggle with his dad for a few minutes.  Jimmy was giddy with excitement, especially since his dad let him look at pictures of cars on his phone.  Jimmy turned over to me and happily declared, “This is the best day EVER!!!”

Important Thing

Here’s a self-portrait Becky did for school.  She completed the prompt, “The most important thing about me is that…” with the phrase: “I have good ideas.”  I LOVE her answer, because it’s totally true!  Becky is extremely logical, and she’s always analyzing situations and making insightful observations.  I constantly find myself saying, “That’s a good idea!” to her.  I guess she was listening!

Windy Wonderings

The boys and I were coming out of a store after a long shopping trip, and as we exited the building, we were hit by a gust of chilly wind.  Jimmy exclaimed in irritated surprise, “Why is it COLD?”  I answered, “Because it’s fall.”  Still annoyed, he insisted, “But why is fall COLD?”  I didn’t have a good answer –  I’m already looking forward to spring!

Listen to “Hymn” Sing

Pappy, you’ve got another singer in the family!

 

Oh, and just another disclaimer, Danny’s t-shirt is ONLY a hand-me-down, not an announcement!  He is NOT a big brother! 🙂

Dan the Tool Man is at it again!  Daddy, you better lock up those tools!
