Wordless Wednesday - Parking Lot

It's beginning to feel a lot like Christmas

So we got out some of our Christmas decorations this weekend. Isaac loved this Santa potholder and ran off to find it a suitable spot. I had to chuckle later on when I discovered it precariously positioned on this (very frequently used) light switch.

DER TOM

The inventive spelling stage is my favorite part of writing: when it is finally starting to come together with the coordination to form letters, the ability to hear letter sounds and know the symbol that represents them, etc. I found this envelope and the card on top of the stack of cards I had addressed last night. He did all of the writing by himself. It's so sweet I had to document it.

FROM ISAAC TO TOM (my younger brother)

DEAR TOM, I HOPE YOU HAVE A GOOD HALLOWEEN I love it.

Isaac-isms

These are all from today: "Mom can we stop on the way home from church and get a cool drink?" "No hunny, we don't do the drive through on Sundays." "DON'T YOU LOVE ME!?!" "Mom, the Holy Ghost is talking to me." "Oh, what's he--" "SHHHHHHHHHHH!!!! The Holy Ghost speaks very quietly!!!!" **After two minutes of silence** "He says, keep the commandments."
