Earlier this week Brady was sick with strep throat and was feeling pretty bad. Monday, while he was on the couch I caught these 2 cuddled up. Shorty has always been our “sick” dog. If you are sick, he is always right there by your side.
Then Tuesday morning we woke up and found this precious little message on Brady’s art easel in his room. Kacey had gone in there after he fell asleep Monday night and wrote ” I hope you feel better”. It’s moments like this that absolutely melt my heart.
- Shorty looks so cute and Brady is looking like he doesn't feel good.
- How sweet! Love little kids spelling.
I just love it when K’s hair gets all crazy and frizzy when she’s jumping on the trampoline..
- These make me LOL. <3
- Great shot, Kristin! Of course, Kacey's just too cute to take a bad photo, too.
Today we were up bright and early for our cub scout pack’s pinewood derby car races. Brady and Scott worked really hard on B’s car and it turned out really good! Brady drew up his own plan and Scott let him use the saw (with help of course) to cut out his design. They then worked on sanding the body and polishing the wheels and axles. Then Brady painted it and I helped him apply the decals. The last step and the most important was to put the weights on and put graphite on the wheels to make them zoom. His car was the fastest out of our den and he came in 4th overall for our age group. Not bad! We thought he would end up in third place and advance to the finals, but it wasn’t to be. We are all very satisfied though because he had a much faster car this year than last. Brady had a great time and I loved watching the faces of all the boys…the winning, the losing, the happy and the dissapointed. It’s all an important thing to experience for these young boys. They were all such good sports and even if they didn’t do too good, they were happy for one another and happy and clapping for the winners….that is what it is all about!
- Sorry he lost, but he must feel a great deal of accomplishment seeing a project through from beginning to end. Wonder if he ever goes to bed thinking about how to make a faster one for next year's race?
We had a wonderful Christmas this year and Santa was really good to the kids. For once, the kids actually came in and woke us up and we all went downstairs together. I was so happy they did because we got to see their reactions to their gifts. Usually they have already been downstairs playing when we wake up, so we miss out on those first few moments. Some of their Santa gifts for the both of them were iPod Nano’s, digital cameras, and art easels.
