Broom Hockey

I wish I had a picture or video of this to share, but I do not--because I was holding the broom and trying to sweep the crumbs on the dining room floor.

Bright has a little person sized broom--and in their pantry closet they had 2 swiffer things--so one day when I was straightening up a little--I took off one of the sections of the swiffer(to make it shorter for Bright) and put a wet paper towel on it for her to "help" me.

The last several times I have tried to sweep, Krue runs to the closet and gets out the short broom or swiffer to help me and I have to hurry to get the "mess" into the dustpan before he can get to it with his little broom (or mop)to "sweep" (more like push)and the pile of dirt and bits goes flying across the floor I just swept.

As I hurry--HE hurries and I try to out-maneuver him and our handles bang repeatedly into each other--like the "dirt" is a puck and we are battling it out with hockey sticks. I laugh every time.

ANYWAY--I wish I had a video.

Wow--New Youth rooms almost finished!

This is especially for the people we miss--People who are now living far away but close to our hearts and may think this exciting--or at least interesting!

Over a year ago--our church decided to build an addition on the farmhouse

for storage and a SR HI room--while they were at it they gutted the old back room to be a future JR HI room

It is nearly done--the floor is linoleum tiles and all I can say is

COOL BEANS!!

Thank You Nancy!

My dear friend, Nancy, was a friend indeed today--She helped fill in a time gap watching my grandchildren.
Added Bonus!!! Nancy likes to take pictures with her fancy pants camera! These are so sweet!
Hudson is almost 2 weeks old--wow.

BROTHER SEE, BROTHER DO

We were at a Sarah Meadows gathering at the Townsends--and I saw "the brothers" whooping it up--they looked so cute laughing--I went to take a picture--of course they had stopped laughing by then--so I just parked there outside their conversation looking through the view finder waiting for them to laugh again--taking random pictures while they were talking--hoping they would turn in my direction and laugh again.

I never got the picture I was hoping for ...

BUT when I looked thru my pictures of that night to see which ones I wanted to delete--I realized something kind of funny happens when they talk to each other...

Yeah--they are definitely brothers.

do you see what i see?

ps i am a rotten picture taker:-(

LOVE at FIRST SIGHT

Monday Morning, Bright's grandparents (Nick and Martha) brought Bright home. She was so excited and happy. These pictures were taken those few first seconds Bright met Hudson.

Krue on the other hand didn't seem too impressed. He seems to like Hudson but isn't very interested yet. Actually this whole past week he has been unusually moody.

Bright acted just as excited and loving when Krue came home--and she was the age Krue is now--1 and 1/2 . Is it a girl thing?

(what she said is "I have a present for you")--she's holding it --a peepeeteepee--good grief--you are supposed to use it to cover little boys while changing their diaper--I think Martha sells them at her shop---What will they think of next?!

Hudson isn't this "tanned"--I was holding him and didn't want to blind him with the flash up close:-)
