The Island I would like

  This is the kitchen island I designed in SketchUp. SketchUp is a free download from Google and very fun and easy to use! 

myron likes to write!

It says:

GO GO GO DON'T BE SLOW  

GO 6

Twice. 

This was after he wrote it on the whiteboard. :)

To get Raphael to write this much would be a fight and a bunch of threats and bribes and gimmicks... and not worth it at all. 

File under "weird" and "news to me"

Myron wanted a placemat, so I put one under his cereal bowl. It was a deceptively blue-and-white design, so that he didn't immediately notice the Christmas theme. When he did, he remarked that it had angels and shepherds and stars... and then Gabriel piped up, "and it needs to have candy canes!" I asked, "who eats candy canes?" His answer: "God does!"

A liddle song

I awoke to this ditty coming from the hall where Gabriel was playing:

Baa baa black sheep
Have you any wool?
Yes sir, yes sir,
Three little bags.

One for my master
One for my sheep
And one for my
Little-piddle...


I missed the rest because I started laughing. I guess you had to be there.

Baskets

So I bought a bunch of cane from V. I. Reed & Cane Co. and made three baskets. There's lots of cane left over so I hope to make more, but these are the first results. I enjoy this craft a lot because you can make it up as you go along; no pattern needed once you know a very few rules.

Snoopy whistles

Another tracing by Raphael.

Myron gets in the game

This is a piece from Myron. He says, "It is not a picture. I just scribbled with a bunch of different colors." I had him add his name for the sake of posterity and to demonstrate that he does, indeed, have small motor skills!
