Younger Folks

Mary broke up the Play-Doh party a bit after my post above. There was a lot of moaning going on when they had to put it up.

A bit after supper, Brooke came bouncing out of her room and headed right into opening the Play-Doh cans. Mary stopped her, telling her she'd played with it enough for the day. Brooke tried another way by stacking all four cans under her chin and walking off with them. Mary asked where she was going. "To my room to play with the Play-Doh." Mary told her she couldn't and to find a book or come watch TV with us. That was not what she wanted to hear but she did it.

Alex came out of her room later and sat and watched some of the old Andy Griffith shows with me. She's come to love them. At some pause, she went over to the dining room table and started to pop open the Play- Doh cans. Mary stopped her. She wasn't happy with the band on Play-Doh either but came and set back down.

Mary assured them that they could play with it again tomorrow.

We ended up going for a fish, an electrical storm cut it short, a few bites though no fish but young Angus had a good time all the same.

All those rocks got the better of Angus, he had to throw one in, might be the reason no fish were caught

We call Angus the Ginger Ninja, he's always throwing rocks, swinging sticks or kicking something.

I forgot to mention the older boy is Tim ur 14yr old mitch wold normaly be with us but he's holidaying and fishing up in Queensland.

Boys throw rocks. It is natural ;D.

Oh to be a King :D :D.

The way I am going, all that I can aspire to is to be the King of Manual Milling

Mother's Day is coming up. 8)

Mary has already gotten two gifts from Brooke - both hand crafted.

Here is one of them. Brooke commented that she took a lot of time getting the eyes just right. They look like two black olive slices. :D

The kid has a talent, Bib. She did very well on the eyes, and they match the smile. #1 Grandma looks like she just spotted a slice of cherry cheesecake in the fridge! 8) 8) 8)

One major detail is wrong. If Mary wears a hat, it's going to be a Wood-Mizer or her Husqvarna forester hat. :D

Roxie · May 03, 2009, 07:27:50 AM

Bibbster, that's a crown, not a hat.

I missed the crown!

Sometimes she's a real queen. And often she just thinks she's the queen.

I see this queen pretty often!

The number one rule of being King of the Castle is to keep your Queen happy. You may need some retraining. :D :D :D

My little one is starting to walk now. She is 10 and half months old. She got her first bloody lip yesterday by slipping on the floor. I think mom cryied more than little one. I was working on the mower outsideand she came running out saying her mouth is bleeding. Nothing major. I told her to take her for a 4 wheeler ride she stoped crying soon as it started up. ;D.

I was only 20 when i had my first little one and 24 with my second. Its funny how being older now you notice so many things with your kids. It seems i overlooked. With my first two. I guess being older does start to have its advantages.

I showed the above picture to Brooke last night. Her first concern was that I'd done something to her masterpiece. "How'd you do that? Did you draw over it? Did you draw on the back?", etc. I told her it was magic. Then I explained that I had done it on the computer. "Oh."

It's a new world guys. Both girls use the "family PC" to do their homework. It's amazing what they can do without help.

The other day I picked up a piece of "kid debris" and looked at it a minute. It was some of Alex's 6'th grade homework where she had to create a data base and make some records and then makes some queries, etc

Back in my teen years I thought I was a pretty good artist. But I only did portraits in pencil.

Back about '67, I took a childhood picture of Mary and made a portrait from it and gave it to her mother. When her mother passed away, we got it back and it's hanging on our living room wall. The only evidence that survived as testimony that I may have has some talent at some time in my life.

Just a little bit ago I returned to my chair and walked past Brooke making a drawing. She showed it to me. I asked her if it was a self portrait. She said no, she was trying to copy the picture of Grandma on the wall . Well, she had the major features right.

She asked me how come I don't draw any more. I explained I'd love to be able to but the years of being a draftsman and then years of working on a keyboard all day and then now working at the sawmill has left my hands to where they don't work well enough to draw.

To this she commented, "Yea, Now you draw flies .. and that's about it." :

:-\

That's me! :-\

:D :D :D Don't you just hate it when that happens?

Bibbyman · June 04, 2009, 05:10:30 PM

The other evening I had a mustache hair curled up and tickling my nose. I did a pinch and snort to get things in order. Brooke was on the bench in front and left of me. She turned and asked, "What'ga do, launch a snot rocket?" I'd never heard it called that before.

I don't know if I like this kid. >:( ;D

baronthered · June 05, 2009, 04:46:53 AM

This is an enjoyable thread. No yunguns of my own yet but I try and spoil all the kids I am around. I have 3 nephews and two neices on my wifes side and I just got a little neice from my brother (havent got to see her yet. >:( ) My freind and neighbor has a step daughter a daughter and a boy that I have absolutely ruined with 4 wheeler rides fishing and other activities. I can't wait to see my new neice and start spoiling her.

We celebrated my Grandson's 2nd birthday over the weekend. Joel came over and borrowed my ice cream batch freezer to make home made ice cream for the party and Ayden was fascinated with the whole process.

Roxie · June 30, 2009, 11:36:53 AM

Aaaaaaawww! He's adorable!!

beenthere · June 30, 2009, 03:32:56 PM

Norm
Is he licking the platter clean?

Norm · June 30, 2009, 05:25:51 PM

That's the lid on top of the batch freezer. He's watching the dasher turn and probably licking the lid just in case he can get a taste. :D

Joel was telling me that he got a round of shots at the doctor today, afterwards the doc stuck a sucker in his mouth. Ayden didn't cry but took the sucker out and threw it at him. ;D

pigman · June 30, 2009, 05:39:27 PM
