May 23rd. Today's pic is of the 3 boys sitting up to the kitchen counter coloring/drawing. There are 3 stools, but they were sharing 2 stools and I thought it was cute that they were all squished together like that.
May 24th. I didn't have a picture for today, so I used this picture of my keys in the ignition as a filler. Sometimes I take extra pictures specifically to be used as fillers when necessary.
May 25th. Chief can regularly be found outside in the backyard shooting hoops before school, after school and after dinner. (This shot doesn't look like it's going in, but it did!) We found this hoop for $10 on Craigslist.
May 26th. Buddy helped me organize some of the cans of food that were recently delivered by the FedEx man. When we were done he kept saying, "Can we get some more boxes of food from the man in the truck?" He loved organizing them into like piles and then counting all the cans to make sure everything was delivered. (We like to have a supply of essentials on hand for long term storage. A lot of the freeze dried stuff I bought is good for 25 years if stored properly!)
May 27th. When Buddy was taking a bath he called me in to see something. He asked, "Mom, did I just spell nest?" I looked on the side of the tub and he did! I asked him how he knew how to spell nest. He said, "I sounded out the 'words' -- nnnn e ssss t." Chief and Maxwell Smart had fun with him at dinner that night, asking him to spell simple 3 letter words that he could sound out.
May 28th. A flower pot that sits outside the front door. It has all 3 kids' hand prints on it.
May 29th. Saturday morning chore time. Buddy enjoyed vacuuming underneath the couch cushions with the Dust Buster. From the looks of things when the cushions were first removed, this chore doesn't get done nearly as often as it should!
Until next time... Thanks for stopping by!
