Harris

I'm posting this "as is"... the order is messed up and I can't figure out how to fix it, but the content is there...

A little help from Adeline to whip up some Valentine's skirts...

I think I'm addicted to making skirts.

She was very interested in the sewing and quite content to sit on my lap and "help".

Our coloring boy, who just this month developed a neat tripod grasp and is coloring so carefully and intricately. Note the butterfly under his arm - he did that all on his own! It's amazing!

These very cool markers are Crayola Color Surge. Highly recommended.

On a completely unrelated note: Mac learned to skip tonight! He's been practicing and practicing, but it's only been a step hop on his coordinated left foot with nothing on the right. I'm content to leave it at that, as skipping is definitely not a four year old skill. However, Lucy can skip and can skip well and Mac really wants to skip with her. So tonight we were walking out of Mudpuddles, and he started "skipping". We were holding hands, so I started just lifting him up a little every time he stepped on his right foot. It was just the right amount of cueing he needed to skip for real! It wasn't pretty, but it was skipping! He was thrilled. We'll see if he can do it again tomorrow.

This is Adeline's good buddy Harris from down the street. We hang out with them a lot. Harris is three weeks younger than Addie, and they adore each other

(could we really be so lucky to have found a "Lucy" for Adeline??)

Anyway, I have been feeling guilty that as much as we hang out with them, that I have virtually no pictures of the two of them. Geez!!! Today, I took some pictures. Isn't he the cutest thing ever?

(I have been contemplating buying this amazing scrapbook kit called Project Life. Has everything needed to complete a page a week documenting life's little things, which really are what make our days full. Right up my alley - but can I keep up with it and will I love it or will it be just another thing on my ever-full "to do list"? Check it out at amazon.com and send me your opinions!)
Building with the Lego Quattro blocks. Well, Addie was building and Harris was knocking it over. That's little boys for you!!

I think the kitchen sink from the pink kitchen is the most used toy we have. That thing gets used for everything and every kid that comes over takes it out.
Either a useful design flaw, or a very smart toy company!

(One of the possible uses for Project Life is to take a picture a day, and jot a couple notes about the day... perhaps easy if I can keep up with it. So, I decided to try taking at least one picture a day. I've seen this on other blogs, and love it, even when I don't really know the people. I tend to take pictures of the kids and that's it. AND SO... when I got the pictures off the camera tonight, what did I have? Pictures of the kids. Yup. Nuthin' else. So, I will attempt to branch out and document our life in addition to the kiddos. But here's a few from today. )
