Random happenings

It's past one am. I'm only awake because I have to get Casey in a few hours. I have nothing new to report. NO amazing stories. Except a few things the boys did that amazed me today.

School was cancelled today due to the ridiculously cold temps. I rejoiced at the extra time with the boys. They chose to spend most of the time playing, without me. *sigh* *shrug* They set up a tent in Coopers room. Mr. Naturalist himself of course came up with the idea. The tent looked perfectly natural in his room considering the walls are all murals to look like a beautiful sunny day. They kept the flap facing his TV open! Imagine that. They watched their Caillou DVD, I gave them lunch there. (note to the weary. They do not get any channels up there! They can only watch DVDs. Easier to monitor!)

It brought back so many memories of my own adventures. I think I was lucky my parents didn't hover so much. They let me go to Annie land and stay there all day if I wanted. So, as much as I wanted to be in on the camping trip I stayed out, but I did sit on the steps and listen for a while. I didn't even realize I was smiling until my face was sore. Who knows how long I sat there! It was wonderful.

When Cooper was done with that he got out the colored paper and crayons and made what looked like an interesting pie chart with numbers on it. I was informed later that it was a target "like the ones they have in bars." HUmmmm kay? Permission was granted for use of the scissors. He then proceeded to make a gun out of Lego's, and one lonely rubber band. After taping the target to his wall he occupied himself for a solid hour with the contraption!

Next on the list, 4 loaves of homemade bread! Of course they couldn't be ordinary! We died them interesting colors! Like red (red bread is scary looking), green, and blue.

Will was an all day happy accomplice, and contributor of ideas.

They both amaze me!
