Where's the love? Look at the picture below. This is what I found written inside my minivan right by Sam's seat. I vaguely remember that he was mad at me while we were driving last week- I can't remember over what- but apparently he took out his anger with his crayons. Upon this discovery (and after his punishment) I asked him why my name was crossed out while his dad's name had a heart over it. He said it was because he didn't love me. I guess he got over his anger because at some point he drew a heart over my name (in pink). Glad to see he loves me once again.
My "Adventure Bag" makes a resurgence. A couple of weeks ago I got out my sling diaper bag so that we could go to the nature center. As soon as Sam saw it on the table he exclaimed, "Yes! You got out your adventure bag!" I had to laugh because he was right- I really only use this diaper bag when we are going on a hike or downtown. I guess it really is "our adventure bag".
Does the picture below make you laugh? For some unknown reason Sam thinks that it is HILARIOUS. And no, it's not because Andrew looks INSANELY creepy in it (in fact, I almost didn't have permission to post this picture). The reason is that Sam thinks Afton looks hysterical. He goes onto the computer at least once a day, opens up this picture, and cracks up over it. I guess this isn't the first time that I have been completely and utterly confused by my firstborn.
*For those wondering, Andrew is actually wearing a bow from one of Afton's birthday presents Home Makeover challenge- it's game time. A couple weeks ago I decided to finally take on my living room. As you can see from the picture below it was previously decorated in the "bla" style. For the past 8 months I've had no idea what I wanted to do to this room, so I've tried to ignore it. I guess the winter got to me, because as of last week I couldn't handle this bare room any longer. I convinced Andrew to let me paint, and I'm slowly easing him up to get some decor. So far so good, but due to my complete lack of decorating confidence (I have no clue what happened to me), updates on this room may take a little while longer. We're also tackling the back yard, but that is REALLY going to take some time.
before...
and a little preview of how the room is shaping up...
We started reading chapter books to the boys. My neighbor recommended this series and now I am recommending it to all of my friends. It is simple, fun, and manages to keep the interest of both my 4 year old and six year old. We have found a winner!

My father read each of his five kids "My Father's Dragon." I think it is the only book he ever had time to read to us. William has read it to Karen. Sadly, it is not magical enough to entertain an almost two-year-old and a five year-old. Separate stories are the rule here.
That drawing ON your van is hilarious!!! Okay, I would be furious if my kid actually drew on my car, but that seriously is hilarious what he did! Ha, but that's good he decided to love you again. :) good job on your living room... so far it looks great!
Sam is officially the funniest kid ever. I need to remember the humor in this when Anna's writing about how much she hates me.
I find that picture every bit as amusing as Sam does. Only for me, it's because of the Drewster. He has never looked more creepier.. and it's hilarious! I love it!
Your living room looks awesome! I LOVE the yellow!
(I should have wrote more creepy instead of more creepier.. duh)
so the small version of the pic of andrew is weird because he looks like he's wearing a yarmulke or something. but then when i enlarged it, it's his face that is creepy. ha.
So glad it is not just my kid that writes on your van with crayons!
