A Little About Jed...and a few other things...

This little Jed.  What a ham.  He is recently discovered a love of sea shanties.  He loves to ask Alexa to play a band named, The Longest Johns.  He has a few of them memorized and lip sinks them while doing something that resembles an Irish jig.  He makes us laugh. 

Little Cookie is enjoying his cold days in the garage.  We find him in some of the most peculiar places.  

Jed was pushed down to the ground on recess while playing with a friend.  He had the biggest goose egg and a skinned up knee.  The story goes that a friend asked him if he wanted to play a game.  Jed agreed to it before knowing what he was saying yes to.  Next thing he knew, he hit the ground.  Boys are so much rougher than girls!

Jed enjoyed designing boats and racing them at Cub Scouts in November.  He sure does enjoy Scouts.  He was so excited to get his prizes from his popcorn sales.  He chose a first aide kit, a camping utensil  kit and a crank flashlight.  He also picked out a Cub Scout bag to keep his gear in.  

Jed is becoming such a fantastic reader.  He is so serious about reading his little red readers each night so he can take them back and exchange them for new ones.  He still doesn't enjoy being read to nearly as much as his sister did, but I'm at least happy that he is enjoying reading himself.  

I knitted/crocheted this shawl for Ainslie Gard several years ago.  She has outgrown it and has passed it on to Evangeline.  I have a picture of Evangeline modeling this at 4 when I made it new and now it's back in our lives at age 12.

Little Pickle toes, or as we call them...quality beans.

School Holiday Fun

South School is a really exciting place around the holidays!  We had different dress up days all the week leading up to Christmas break.  Here we are on holiday accessory day!  One day the week leading up to break, our principal, Mrs. Morgan found me in the hallway and told me I needed to drop everything and report to the office.  When I got there I found the rest of the 1st grade teachers there too!  She told us she was taking us on a little getaway.  We boarded the school's short bus where Christmas music was blaring and were driven to McDonalds to get whatever drink we wanted.  While we were gone she had aides covering our classrooms.  It was such a fun surprise.  She told us how much she appreciates all we have done during this super challenging school year, and this was just a little something special.  Evangeline participated in the locker decorating contest.  She had such fun bringing her supplies and getting it done during h...

Cozy at Home

Snow day painting...dreaming of all the flowers in my garden....I have a bunch of old frames so I'm putting a collage of my painted flowers in my bathroom.  It's a cheery touch.  I pulled out some of my old cozy knits I did years ago.  Evangeline loved them!  Pickles did too.  Jed had to join in the fun sporting a toddler sweater...I'm glad they both appreciate those kinds of things...

Down Time

Evangeline was chomping at the bit to use some of her money to go buy a case for her new phone.  We went to TH to look around and then made a stop at Starbucks.  Evangeline felt like a big kid.  We had a fun girls outing.  She wanted to sit inside Starbucks and cuddle on a couch drinking our beverages together.  It was a special moment for me too.  This girl is growing up into such a delightful young lady.   We tried real hard to give our money to an actual shop to purchase the case, but no one had anything that would work.  We ended up resorting to Amazon.  She was really pleased when her sparkly pink case with a heart shaped pop socket arrived in the mail.  The rest of the week was spent lounging around doing all the things we love to do at home.  My nephew's, Cale and Liam came for a sleepover.  We all had so much fun with them!  Jed was of course in his happy place with Cale there to play with.  Evangeline an...
