Friday Fun

Today, while Jackie and Colby were testing, Ben had a fun assignment. We/I have grown to enjoy Graph Days. During these days we make lists of our friends and we gather facts about various interests. All of this in the name of how to read and gather information about graphs, diagrams, etc. It also gives the child a chance to phone family and friends, thus learning the art of communication. It is so cute to hear Ben say, "Hello, this is Ben Reynolds...." He even says that to his grandparents. Here's a picture of him hard at work.

Little Caesar's Pizza

a.k.a. the "Rattlesnakes"

Proverbs

"A fool shows his annoyance at once.."

just what I have been preaching to myself this week.

Workin' at the Car Wash...

One is playing and the other is helping, can you guess who?

Louisa, our right hand girl, eager to tackle any project, if it means being with her daddy.

Yes, that's Libby in her panties, in the drive way.

boys, boys, boys

they love their little brother!

Why did the turtle cross the road?

So that, he could be harassed by the Reynolds.  Of course!

ok moving along

So Ben comes out ready and dressed for his game tonight.  If you were to walk into our home you'd find him dressed up as a ball player on any given day of the week.  We are all used to it.  I try not to jump anymore when I'm hunched over steaming veggies and hear him belt out, "GONE!"  When I hear this I know there's been another imaginary homerun. He is often going over in his mind various victories on the baseball field and in the, "Wiffle Ball Corner," of the backyard.  Back to what I was saying, Ben comes out all dressed up and noticeably larger.... I forget I had bought him a cup.  The only way he can play catcher is if he has one on.  I asked him if he was comfortable and if he needed any help.  Obviously I wasn't the only one who noticed, because before I knew it, Louisa comes around the corner, GRABS him, and says, "Hey Ben, wha-what is this?"  My, my if we had a hidden camera for all the behind the scenes humor at this house, I'd be famous..... or locked up because my kids are crazy.
