May 19 - petting the chicken

This is my last catch up day before I start posting my project 365 pictures a week at a time. Last weekend, I took the little boys to a local farm for their open house. Our first stop was to check out the chickens.  Magoo was a little unsure at first, but Bebop was excited [...]

I’ve taken my camera with us to the library every time we have gone for the last month.  Today I actually took a picture! Part of the library is in an old historical home that was donated to the city to be used as a library.  An addition that holds most of the books was [...]

Since our apartment is temporary (less than 3 weeks left!), there is nothing but white walls in every room.  Bebop found the roll of tape and begged to hang up his pictures. He’s very proud of his drawings and points them out daily.  This has been a good chance for him to learn the terms [...]

Before I was even out of bed on Sunday, Bebop demanded a Mohawk for church.  (The Mohawks have nothing to do with Mother’s Day other than Bebop wanted one.)  His hair isn’t quite long enough, but I used a little hair gel and tried my best.  He was very happy with the result.  I was [...]
