Check out his cuteness. He’s helping me blog today. Who wouldn’t want that adorable face peaking over your chair to grin at you? Don’t let him fool you though, you have to watch this kid. Every second. Otherwise…he’s into stuff. And he thinks it’s hilarious. He bit my knee the other day to get my attention, little stinker. Oh! But the best was when Aaron was standing behind the island in the kitchen, and Ollie drug the bar stool around the corner, so it was next to Aaron, and then stood up against it so he could be standing by Daddy. He was pleased as punch with his little self for that maneuver. Meanwhile, I was having visions of him using the stool as a vehicle to get…well, anything else. I bet it won’t be long until tipping over bar stools is common place in our house once more. *sight* I have forgotten about such baby shenanigans.
Have I ever mentioned that I have an awesome husband? Well let me say it again. My husband is awesome. He called me Friday afternoon while we were at indoor park day, to tell me that he’d ordered a pizza and had arranged for his parents to come over and watch the kids so we could go out. What a keeper! We decided to go for the best Mexican food around…Los Hermanos in Provo. We shared steak fajitas and strawberry lemonade. Here’s a picture of me. We took one of Aaron too, but it didn’t turn out. And then because he loves me even more, we went to Hobby Lobby AND Target all in one night to look for some baskets to go in the shelves he built me. We found some we liked at Target. It was so incredibly nice to go into Target with no children…it was actually fun! And window shopped for things to decorate our bedroom with in the future. It was a lovely evening.
On Saturday our new homeschool group had an art show. Lincoln entered a painting called “The Desert” and Ivan entered a painting called “The Roller Coaster” both were acrylic paint on canvas. We practiced several times earlier in the week with watercolors, until they each decided on something they liked, and then we bought some (cheap from Walmart) canvas, and they did their final paintings on there. The lady who put it together and her kids, made the cutest little #1 Artist ribbons and gave one to every kids who entered. Lincoln was so excited about his. He said, “It’s so great that I got first place, even though all the other kids got first place too, it makes me happy!”
I’m really, really excited for our new homeschool group. It feels like a breath of fresh air. Different from anything we did in the old one, and not as stifling. I liked that they did the art show (and are planning all subsequent activities) at a time when the dads could be there. I liked that I didn’t have to teach a huge class, only my own kids, but that we could socialize in a group setting and display the things the kids have been working on. Next month they’re having a poetry night and a Valentines exchange. We’ll be there. Yay for homeschool!
