 |
| Andrew's adaptation |
 |
| Alexander's interpretation |
 |
| "I was just walking to the bathroom and the bed ended up like that." Life with boys, walking to the bathroom= running, jumping, and rolling, and possibly attacking an invisible army on the way. |
 |
| It's a good day when coffee gets delivered |
 |
| We finally had our Ivanhoe book club party |
 |
| Target cake in honor of own of the first books to clearly present the familiar Robin hood tales. |
 |
| Nate made this bow and arrow and took the kids out to the grassy hill to do most of the games, but we had some inside as well. |
 |
| He looks fierce! |
 |
| Abigail get in on the action too. Although she spent most of the time sniffing the feathered "arrow" I made for the cake and calling it a flower. Girls and boys sure are different. Girls turn weapons into flowers and accessories. Boys turn flowers and accessories into weapons. |

 |
| All these stuffies got in trouble and she lined them up for discipline. Also, she is so like Aaron in that she loves to line things up on these couple of steps. |
