Forts

 

Instead of sitting on the couch to watch Netflix, take the couch apart and live in the couch.

Sure, why not.

Uncharacteristic to Me

I asked whether one belonged to one boy and one to another?

 

Why yes, mother.

 

On the left: Nicholas

On the right: Ben

You Know We've Had Too Much Time Off School

 

When you run out of things to do, so you start getting creative in an odd way.

 

 

Here: They are serving me "Daughter Soufflé"

The white is the table they fashioned to fit around her head on a platter.

 

I declined.

Not Literally Guys

 

I'm quite certain that they didn't mean that it could be shoved in your pocket and then into the wash when they printed "Washable" on there. 

Sunday Afternoons

 

Please take us skating!

 

 

Where even Ben (in the orange shirt there) who can't stand to be drug away from the house for anything, loved it.

 

Finally, an activity that the boys haven't quite mastered ahead of the girls.

 

I watched.  My back hurt just looking at them, I thought.

Then we returned home and I had a 102 degree fever.  I went to bed at 6 pm and was there until 8 am the next morning in various states of feeling like I had actually strapped on the skates and pummeled myself.  Bleh.

Nicholas

 

A million miles an hour, everywhere.

Until he just stops, wherever he happens to be.

 

His eyes popped open right after this.  "Did you really have to take my picture?"

He Loves Me So Much

 

This dog of ours loves me so much, he can't stand to be away from me, even when I cook.
