Meet Indiadam Jones!

Image
By
When my Grandma moved I inherited a couple of my Grandfather's old hats for my children to play with. Wearing this hat is one of Adam's newest obsessions. He wore it when we took Andrew to school yesterday, and of course we got many, many comments on the hat (just like when he wears his cape). Today, he put on the hat and started running around in the living room, chasing Andrew, and saying that he was Indiana Jones. Even Andrew played along and said that it was an Indiana Jones hat and that Adam was Indiana Jones. It's funny how they can come up with these things, and play pretend that they are people and characters that they've never seen before, nor do they know anything about them. Where do they come up with these things?

Ooh! I knew exactly who he was pretending to be the moment I saw the picture! My boys have hats very similar to the one that Adam does. They always play like they are Indiana Jones when they wear their hats too!! Evan pretends like he's Indiana most of the time and then Hayden is always "Dad" (from the Last Crusade). They even sing the Indiana Jones song while they run around pretending to beat up Nazi's! I love little boys!! :) Glad to hear that no matter who "owns" them, they pretty much all do the same thing!

Burke has a very similar hat and if it's within kids' reach, I can't keep it away from Jack or Kate. They both love it!

That is so funny. Little boys are so cute. I can't wait for Gavin to start doing stuff like that. I was going to say... I was surprised they were allowed to watch Indiana Jones... I have seen ALL of them and I thought they were a little gorey and violent at times... then I finished reading the post... that is so weird that they know about it without watching it.

Okay so sorry I don't think I can erase my comment, so I hope you are not offended. I am just remembering the one where they try to pull out Indiana Jones' heart...

That is a pretty neat hat! I wish I had my grandpa's old hats...Now I'm wondering who got them when he passed away?

what a little sweetie! I can't wait to have a closet full of dress-ups (and a house big enough to accomodate it!) He will love to look at this picture when he's an old man! By the way the new look on the blog is so cute!

Pink Day

By
Today I was sifting through all the clothing and pulling out clothes that were stained and torn, as well as clothing the children had outgrown. There was a huge pile of clothing to sort through, and an ever growing pile of clothes to donate.  At one point, I pulled out a pink t-shirt and asked, "Whose is this?" Someone said it was Maryanne's, which couldn't have been true because it was a size 8. It wasn't her color anyway ... So I tossed it in the donate pile. (In hind sight, I now think my mom gave it to Maryanne for Christmas, and she said that she wasn't sure what size to get for Maryanne. Whoops on my part.) That's when Adam exclaimed that he wanted a pink shirt. Other children chimed in with, "It is his color." (Referring to his Dressing Your Truth type.) Adam bolted toward the donate pile and seized the shirt, promptly pulling it over his head and the collared shirt he had on. (Later he removed the collared shirt, after much cajoling from ...

85+ Books!

By
It's been almost a year since I started keeping track of all the books I've read.  When it's all in a list ... by date ... it really makes me realize how much I read!  I burned through almost a book a day in the month of January: 24 books total ... the greatest number of books in one month!  After compiling the list, I figured I may as well share it with all my friends!  I've organized them by genre/topic ... and now I realize I need to branch out more!  Books I read multiple times this year have asterisks. REGENCY/HISTORICAL ROMANCE The Apothecary's Daughter, Julie Klassen Edenbrooke*, Julianne Donaldson The Girl in the Gatehouse, Julie Klassen The Heiress of Winterwood, Sarah Ladd The Maid of Fairbourne Hall, Juie Klassen Lady of Milkweed Manor, Julie Klassen Short Straw Bride, Karen Witemeyer The Silent Governess, Julie Klassen The Tutor's Daughter, Julie Klassen CLEAN ROMANCE Bah, Humbug!, Heather Horrocks The Cubicle Next Door*, Siri L....

My Two Teenagers

By
As personalities come, these two girls are like night and day. Both are silly at times, and both can be serious at times. And yet, that rarely happens at the same time! We have entered the world of teenagers, and it is quite the dramatic world! My oldest daughter is dealing with all the drama that teenagers bring: ostracism, judging, and feeling friendless. My younger teenager is just full of fun dramatics: silly faces and expressions, acting wonky and crazy, and saying that "everyone is my friend, even their mom and dad!" At any rate, I couldn't be more in love with these two. They fight over their littlest sister ("I get to hold her!"  "You've been hogging her all day!"), fight over who spends more time in the shower ("I do NOT spend an hour in the shower!"), and fight over who gets my MacBook ("She always gets to do her school on your computer!"  "But, all my stuff is on there!").  My world would be quite dramatical...
