* “I want draw. I want draw. I want draw.” he pleads every single time his eyes fall the container of crayons. Really. So that’s 15 times a day. Unless I hide the container. He has the attention span of a 2 year old. The he proceeds to color on every surface except his coloring book.
* Every single pair of jeans looks like this. I need to patch them and about 5 other pairs of his jeans. During the day, I fully intend to mend in the evening (I shudder at the idea of my boys near the sewing machine). Youtube must have a video on it, right? When evening comes, I’m tired or I would rather veg or I have other things to do. In a bit of rut-cycle.
* Mom and Dad L. unloaded the trailer. Noah was counting down the days until the infamous Lego would come out of the trailer. He required frequent reassurance that indeed the Lego was in the trailer and indeed there was more Lego in that trailer than he had every seen. So, on Saturday the trailer was unloaded. On Sunday, Noah invited himself over within seconds of seeing Opa and Oma at church. Then followed 5 days of agony, while Noah spent good portions of each day inventing scenarios that would allow him to visit Oma. “Mom, you go to Oma’s and talk and I will come and play with the cars.” As if mentioning Lego would make me suspicious of his intentions. On Friday, he was invited to sleepover. By himself. Initially he refused but several hours later he warmed up to the idea. The following morning I picked him up and he was in all his glory: playing playing playing. And running and shouting. Wound up and excited.
* Next week he turns 4. I can hardly believe it.
* Oh I pray that you never lose your spark and zest for life.
* Brotherly love.
* My neighbour needed to size the newsboy cap she crocheted. Isn’t it adorable?
* We have ourselves a hockey nut. He begs to go outside and play hockey. Which is awesome. But generally, I have to come and play hockey too. Not as awesome. He holds the stick like a pro and is pretty good at hitting the ball.
* Standing in the shower, mouth wide open and catching the water. This kid also has a zest for life but in a totally different way.
Laura - Those boys are adorable!
Leona - Oh Karin! I just love these pics! Perhaps it’s also because everything looks so familiar to me now – Mattias with a hockey stick and ball almost all day long waiting for Cody to come home – Noah in his glory playing lego, i can imagine the thrill he had with all those lego men…that’s all he ever plays with here too! Two great, loveable guys – both unique in their own way.
and karin – I doubt Noah will ever lose his spark and zest for life 😉 He makes me laugh 😀
sheree - Super cute pics! all i can say is WOW that is alot of Lego guys! and I’m so jealous 😛 So hard to pic a favorite this week. . .but i think that cute little boy in the adorable hat has beat out my childish love for lego. . .maybe.
I’m really going to miss these weekly posts when they’re gone 🙁
Lindsay - I’m with Sheree…I love these posts and will miss them when they’re gone. It’s just a beautiful way to capture the day to day life and you manage to do it in such a creative and artistic way!
