Some recent pictures, as well as some cute kid quotes.
It's that time of year again.
Claire and I working on her Halloween costume.
Claire's dress design, so I know how to make her costume.
Claire's Prayer: "Dear God, thank you for my teacher. Thank you that gym class went well. Thank you for "Frozen". That's all. I mean...Amen."
Henry knows that Daddy will always share his food with him.
Henry recently came up to me and started kicking my leg. So of course, thinking my son was bent on destruction, I sentenced him to a timeout on the steps. Along came Claire and this is what I heard:
Claire: "Are you in timeout?"
Henry: "Yep"
Claire: "Why?"
Henry: "Because I was kicking Mommy."
Claire: "Why were you kicking Mommy?"
Henry: "Because I was pretending she was a soccer ball."
I was glad to know Henry wasn't acting out of violence, just sheer imagination.
The local fire station had an open house.
We're so thankful for their service to our community.
Couldn't get any cuter than this.
Enjoying our dinner of homemade mac & cheese, I asked Claire, "What will we do if George doesn't like mac & cheese?"
Claire: "That would be a disaster."
Some friends of ours had an Art Prize party.
We each had to contribute some artwork to share with the group.
We had a lot of fun stretching our creative muscles,
as well as enjoying everyone else's creativity.
The boys watch as the action begins.
It all started Sunday morning with a cold shower and a call to DTE Energy. What we thought would be a quick fix turned out to quite the ordeal. An emergency crew closed off our road as they dug a 7' deep pit to fix our gas line that had apparently corroded. They worked late into the night and well into the following day to ensure I could once again have a nice warm shower.
