Our Little Corner

Ahhhh....Friday

Random highlights from the week:

~ The kids and I were driving somewhere in the car and Baylee was telling us all about how God created Adam out of clay and then breathed the breath of life into him. Zach replied in the driest possible voice, "Oh. So he was like Gumby then."

~ A little while ago Drew said, and I quote, "That Billy Gates and his big ideas! Creating something that connects computers all around the world!" I mean, I have no idea if Bill Gates actually created the internet, but that's beside the point. The real question is: Who the heck's grandmother did Drew just channel and why???

~ A couple days ago Zach noticed a little boy huddled on the neighbor's porch in the rain and growing dusk. We kind of know him because our neighbor babysits him occasionally, but he's not one of the kids my kids hang out with on a regular basis. Apparently on that particular day the neighbor forgot all about the commitment she had and wasn't home. The poor kid walked to her house from school only to find it locked and empty. He had no phone and no idea what to do. I told Zach to run over and bring him home to our house, and I watched him for a couple hours until his mom showed up from work. There's just something very scary about that whole picture.

~ "Watching TV with swimming goggles on, of course. Why do you ask?"

~ He's starting to look so tall and grown up to me suddenly. He's not my baby anymore. Wait. Yes, he is. He'll always be that little guy with the bright blonde hair that stuck up like a mohawk and the blueberry eyes.

~ Baylee reading to her "children," as she says. I love that she loves her dolls. I never liked dolls all that much when I was a little girl, so it's fun to see her so into them.

~ The Game of Life, some assembly required. *Cat sold separately.

The summer that Jeffrey was four, he wore goggles all day long. His were the bigger kind that covered your nose--and they were clear. Such a goof.
