Funny Quote from Hallmark

"They say it takes a village to raise a child...but they never say what village or how to get there!"

Haha! Wish I knew!

While I'm here I want to point ya'll to a new favorite blog. I haven't searched it thoroughly but on the main page there are 2 awesome ideas I want to try sometime--one easy, one not so easy. It's called Imagine Childhood. If you scroll down a ways you will see a HOMEMADE telescope!! Thats the not-so-easy one. Dang! Jacob would love it. He's all into pirates, telescopes and adventures these days. The other cute idea is the summer bag--a pillowcase full of classic games and 'recipes' for imagination. Totally simple--a sheet for a fort, tin cans for kick the can, telephone...or whatever. Probably just for filling dirt at our house. From outside our house I mean. Flags for capture the flag, balls, homemade bases and a book for writing down the rules. You name it. It is so simple and sure beats the chaotic mess of cheap sun-bleached toys that were arrayed in our yard this morning. Ahh, I have to put that together and secretly pitch the other stuff.

Here are some pictures from the dance class Jacob and Sam did last month. Sam had his back to me and was very focused on the teacher so I didn't get many pictures of him. Jacob kept looking at me and smiling making my job very easy. I also took videos and twice he looked at me and winked in slow motion!! It was so funny and cute. I have no idea where he learned to wink but he had great timing.

Some more of Adelay. We cleaned our computer and all of our pictures are still on the external hard drive. So you get pictures from the same photo shoot as last time.
