Spicy Hair

Sawyer told me this morning, as he has before, that "Daddy made me spicy hair." It makes him happy. His super fine hair has no chance of being spikey, but getting goop in it seems to bring about some pride in his appearence. Cutie. They survived the first day back to school after a 2 week + 1 day break, which was super fun for us all.

Sawyer Keeping Christ in Christmas

So, as we're driving to East TX to celebrate Christmas with the Hancock family, Sawyer starts talking about Jesus, or so we thought. Our hearts were delighted at the notion that our fine young son was keeping Christ in Christmas, recognizing that the holidays are a time to reflect upon God's great love for us and his gift of Jesus to be a light unto the world. Then we realized we'd just passed a Chuck E. Cheese and he was asking if we could go to Cheeses.

Sawyer is arguing heartily with me that what is on my shirt is not a button, it is a wheel.

Sawyer names his turds. You read that right. I just overheard him name the morning's movement Matador. Tere went in to wipe him and said, "that's no Matador, that's Jabba the Hut!"

Ahhh...life with boys!

If you will excuse me...

Ridge is big into drawing houses now....the square house with the triangle roof. Tonight when I wen to tuck him in, he gave me a picture and said, "I drew this for you and Daddy. It has houses and hotels and other things. But as you can see, I'm not finished with it, so if you'll excuse me now, I can finish."

I wonder if he's thinking that by talking is such a mature way I will think he's older and doesn't need to go to bed!

Love...all the way to Target

I have just gathered myself from the puddle on the floor to jot down a conversation with Ridge tonight.

Ridge: Mom, I love you. I love you all the way to Pluto and Jupiter and Mars and the Red Planet and to Target!

Me: Bud, I cannot top that. You win. You have the most love. But why do you love me.

Ridge: Because God loves you, I love you too.

Melt.

Here are my silly boys before Western Day at school on 10/7/11.

Sawyer's peanuts

Might be time to loosen Sawyer's carseat. When I snapped him in this afternoon, he exclaimed, "owwwy...my peanuts!"
