Boys....

On a walk home with the boys...
Note James pointing to his bag.... He decided to trade me for my giant bag and groceries, I carried his gym bag. :) Luke here is suffering a seriously bitter candy, hence the tongue hanging out. And the rest are a flock of mates from school, all sleeping over tonight. :)

On the way home from school....

Yeah, February break is here! One week off!

What happens when...

I leave Allie alone with the unpacked groceries for 10 minutes... She designs a Stonehenge out of fruit smoothie boxes! ;)

6am at the homestead....

Allie traces James's warrior Groll

James would like it noted for the record that this is his D&D character. His name is Groll and he is a human fighter. Allie is learning how to draw with trace paper. She chose her brothers drawing as the art she would copy today. :-)

What a pudgy girl...

Such flashbacks...

I keep working the wonders of veggies. I kinda like the idea of using radishes for eyes on a snow man.
