Wholesome Recreational Activities, Part II

Just a boy and his cars

Clearly, boys and cars are connected through some as yet secret gene in the DNA. I would have been the first to debate this fact before I had my own kids, one of each, and watched Amos while away the time spinning the wheels on cars and trucks while Molly has only ever taken a perfunctory interest. I love that he lines them all up. Not sure what the next step is after that, I don't he has gotten there yet either.

Boy gets haircut from Dad

I like it long, preferably to the point that the boy gets mistaken for an elf. I say, he has a whole lifetime of haircuts ahead of him, why not leave it alone for now? Bryan won this round. I need a good place to hide the scissors.

Dress Up Time

A friend brought over a huge bin of dress-up clothes and the kids played happily for at least an hour. That's Molly as a fireman, Amos as a pink-skirted hula dancer. I don't make these suggestions, people. They come up with this all on their own, and I love it.

Banana Bread w/ Chocolate Chip Goodness

A treat for book club. I usually put in almost the whole bag of chocolate chips, and let me tell you, it's a hit every time. I love that Molly is big enough to help with cooking. On this day she required her bandana and only an apron in place of clothes in order to assist me.
