In the eye of the beholder...

The boys came in and excitedly urged us to come outside. "Come see what we made," they said. "It's BEAUTIFUL." So Steph and I dutifully went out and this is what we saw:


That's right : A tippy tower perfect for jumping off of (and potentially breaking a few limbs). A thing of beauty if you're a 7-year-old boy for sure. The amazing thing is that just yesterday the same components had been used to construct a pirate ship. Arrr:

An early Mother's Day present from Chas

On the way homre from school today, the boys were discussing their plans to give us gifts for Mother's Day. Then Chas gave me the best one he ever could -- without even realizing it.

"Mommy, one of my friends at school thinks you're beautiful," he said. "And you know what? I think you're beautiful, too."
