Yesterday the professor introduced me to Skype. It makes me laugh. My first question was, "Is my hair really this red in real life?" Then, of course, I snapped a photo.
This morning after breakfast {see photo} I was trying to make sure teeth were brushed and everyone was wearing shoes when Tukes tilted his head to one side, squinted an eye, and said, "I fought {thought} today was Wednesday." "It is," I replied.
"So, can we go to Wendy's?"
**********
The Boo met Mary Poppins {in movie form} for the first time earlier this week. He is charmed by her. {What child isn't?}
This afternoon we watched "Step in Time" on You Tube, much to his our delight and amusement. I can only imagine the roof-dancing ideas that are now swirling around in his head. Oh, I know he's thinking about it... remember, this is the child who asked me to hurl him across the backyard in a tent a few months ago.

I'm laughing. Kids are so funny. So, did you go to Wendy's on this lovely Wednesday?
I love kids' crazy imaginations! And I was taken aback with your husband's pic - your boys look just like him!

Aww. I miss those days. Never need a reason...never need a rhyme!
We love Skype!
I think a mid-week trip to Wendy's would be a fun routine! Obviously, your boys do, too!
I loved Mary Poppins as a child. I was just telling The Mister that I thought our boys might enjoy it. We should give it a try.
We just watched Marry Poppins the other week for our mivie night and now John is sure that he can magically clean and move things by waving his fingers about.
He has also taken to sagging his pants and doing the penguin dance. That one is pretty funny to watch.
I noticed you're reading On the Banks of Plum Creek. Are you reading through the series? I'm reading the series to my kids before bedtime. We just started The First Four Years.
Your kids make me smile. "Mary Poppins" was/is my favorite...gotta get an umbrella with a "talking" handle...and let the wind blow all the "unwanteds" with no humor away :-) God bless!
Several times over the last months I have remembered Boo wanting you to throw the tent with him in it across the yard so that he could catch a breeze and fly! Each time I have laughed and my day brightened!
Mary -- Me too, I laugh every time I think of Boo and his tent-flying attempt!! You know, he really, truly believed that he could fly that tent. That's what I love about little boys... the possibilities of what they believe they can do are endless.
me again...
I wanted to see if you knew that Cynthia Rylant wrote a book to fill in the 2 year gap of time between Plum Creek and Silver Lake (the next book in The Little House series). It's called Old Town in the Green Groves.
LOVE Skype! My sis is halfway around the world for a year and I have young children - that's how she watches them grow.
I must say, you come across as a very mellow redhead. But maybe that's an old wives' tale about temper and red hair, I dunno.
i was just about to ask you the other day if you skype. i thought we could "meet" and talk...you know, in our "free time"!
