Big E's acting skills - A star is born!

For those of you who don't know, Big E is my sixteen month old little brother. He thinks he is much older than he really is. His three siblings in between he and I, Mutt, Abbster, and Kay have a school play with their home school co-op. Big E has been at all the rehearsals and seems to have learned everyones parts. It is an American history play so when the American Indians do there part Big E makes the Indian noises with them. When the seen comes on where the Revolutionary war begins Big E walks out with a gun, fires it and then falls to the ground dead. When the Eskimo is jumping on the trampoline (we do not have enough people or a caribou hide to throw her up. so she jumps) Big E climbs on and tries to jump too. He is an amazing actor. I see a future star! But tomorrow when they do the play it is going to be very hard to keep him off the stage. He really thinks he is in the play. He walks around with a script. He might think he is the producer and he is not doing everyones parts for his own enjoyment but to show them how it is done right. That would explain why he will come out on stage and hands people the right hats and wigs he thinks they should wear. Just a theory! I could not, for the life of me, tell you what is going through that mischievous mind of his! :)

Cowboy boots equals outside

So my youngest brother is fifteen months old. He is really small for his age. In fact he is only just now 21 pounds. We call him Big E. Of course that is not his real name, but it is quite the ironic nickname don't you think? He loves to be outside! Always, anytime, rain, snow, cold, hot, morning, night, whatever, and whenever! As soon as he finishes breakfast every morning he heads for the back door and starts banging on it for someone to take him outside! It is so cute! Well his new trick is to go get my cowboy boots and bring them too me. Then he points to or hits my feet until I put them on. Once I start to put them on he runs to the door and starts banging on it. Of course by then I have shoes on and he has my attention. Then I have no good reason to say no. So he wins. Every time. He is a schemer! It is always the little ones!
The moral of this story: Hide your cowboy boots.

Thanksgiving break

I am on school break. Fun! Well. It is sorta, kinda, boring. Although being bored now and again can be fun! I got all crafty and creative! I took three of the kids outside and we each painted a piece of wood! Why did we paint a piece of wood, you may ask? I don't rightly know. But why not? They came out wonderful! Whenever I get batteries for my camera I will try to remember to take pics of beautiful artwork and I will upload them. Crafty things can be fun but very stressful with a group of children. But in the end I think they all had fun! I think I will continue enjoying my boredom now. Maybe I will bake something? Who knows! The possibilities are endless! I might go for another walk! Todays weather is just beautiful! Wow this post is getting quite random, is it not? I guess there is no better note to end a post on!
See ya!
