Thinner

So, the kids' imaginations have exploded, and, while it is impossible to document every funny thing they say or do, a periodic opportunity to "capture the moment" presents itself.

This guy shows up every so often (via Ben)....he is the "leader", and his name is also Ben, and he fights Ben. Supposedly, this guy is the "bad" guy, and my precious blonde boy is the "good" guy. The fights for justice are not difficult despite the fact that we do not allow gun play....imagine that...Ben is forced to imagine FIGHTING the enemy with human powers (and, I admit it, he does slay dragons with a sword)....contradictory....



My Ga Ga got an orchid for Mother's Day. I thought it was so lovely, and would have loved one for myself, but I feel certain I'd have killed it.




We made a trip to the farmer's market where I got to pick out some beautiful pink and white flowers for Mother's Day, and the kids made me some cards! Too cute!!!




The kids had a BLAST at the art show! I have images from the show that I may post another time. This was the only time the kids were still on stage...they laughed and danced and performed (before the band arrived)....Ben downed multiple brownie bites...and the kids got some play time out on the lawn after the show started (thank you to all the grands for watching the kids!) BROTHER George and cousin Lanie joined them!





We had "art" time last night before dinner....The kids got to paint to their hearts' desires with watercolors and then got a robot lesson from Adam. My painting talents never developed beyond kindergarten (not my only arrested development issue)....so the last painting is mine....it is us on the beach (as we gleefully await the trip - the kids talk about it EVERY SINGLE DAY NOW)...I am not sure why we have an black kid now, but, apparently we do.






So, enjoy your day...try not to be jealous about what a talented artist I am.

We are off to swim lessons and then tonight, THE CARNIVAL! WHEEEEE!
