images from a boy's life
Cats cradle, erector, chiseling and falling asleep with the light on. Just sharing some images from a boy's life. He wants to spray paint after school today, so I'd better get back to work so I can be ready for that one. Happy Monday! Let's make it a good week, ok?
Ah yes, falling asleep with the light on...something very common in our home. Spray painting would be very adventuresome in our house. You are brave.

Love the last picture. My girl wants to write a song when she gets home:) She is a drummer. (I can do heart and sole great, but that is where my skill ends).

Oh... so, so wonderful. I have an 11 year old and I can't imagine life without a boy--and all the color he brings to my world.

How cute! I can't imagine when my little guy gets to be that big. I guess time goes by pretty quick.

Love these pictures! They so capture the spirit of a little boy. Mine is just 4 and such fun. I especially like the chiseling picture. My younger brothers used to do very simple woodworking projects at that age, and I look forward to my little guy being big enough to try his hand as well.

Thanks for the photos Allyson. It's so good to see him and how much he has grown.I know that you must be so proud of him. I love that he wears his camoflage hat. Thank-you. You are an extremely talented craftsperson and an obvious loving and caring mother.
