From the Comfort of the Laundry Basket

Apparently, watching TV is much more comfortable from the laundry basket. LOL.

I Miss You, Daddy!

This is a treasure that I will keep forever. Daddy has been gone in Tobago, Trinidad since last Thursday, and just got back last night. But, Owen decided that he wanted to write him a note, for when he returned. I could hear him sounding out words in the kitchen, while I was in the living room. He asked me how to write a certain letter, so I got out our alphabet chart, that we use in homeschool. I just let him go at it. Intrepretation: I miss you. I did. I did. Tobago. We did. Love Owen. I have no idea what the other two letters were for. It get's a little muddy. But, anyway, Owen just HAS to communicate. And that he did it to show his love for daddy, just warms my heart. Now...off to get an acid free envelope of some sort. LOL.

Gingerbread Lane

Last night, despite the icy roads, Owen and I got out to the Library for the "Gingerbread Lane" Event. Miss Tisha read a book called the "Gingerbread Baby," and then we all got to decorate a gingerbread house out of grahm crackers, frosting, and candy. They used small milk boxes to make it easier for the kids to put it together. Owen had a lot of fun, and also wanted to sing and run around. LOL. He got to see both Miss Tisha, and Miss Lynn...two of his most favorite people in the world.

Owen and Grandma Carol

Grandma Carol came over this past week, and we spent a few hours shopping, playing at the mall, and then just chatting. Don't they look happy together?

Fun With Scissors

This is what happens when Mommy goes to take a shower, and the scissors are handy, dandy, available. LOL. I'm just glad he limited it to the paper. LOL.

Santa 2008

Owen loves the fact that Santa is a continuation of St. Nicholas. We've read that bit of history, and he thinks it's GREAT! This is the most interesting year for Owen in this regard. He really has been having fun with the "Rudolph, the Red-Nosed Reindeer" movie, and "Frosty, the Snowman," too. This coming Tuesday, we are having a few friends over to our place for movies, hot cocoa, and popcorn. It's going to be a blast. Just one flare of Christmas that we enjoy.

Isn't This a Fun Cup?

Owen decorated it with foam stickers in preparation for a special meal on Christmas Day.
