christmas mahem

meg volunteered to help finish decorating the tree this year. the others were too busy baking cookies, or wrapping presents, but dovey, emrys and noah wanted to help.

decorating the tree
at first all went well as they each hung ornaments on the branches

uh oh
then noah decide his stool was too low and he needed to get higher to help meg reach the upper branches

noah get down
meg looked up to see him balanced precariously on the uppermost branches. reaching up she scolded, “noah get down, before you fall!”
too late
but it was too late, she couldn’t reach him in time and noah tumbled to the floor. holding his head he sighed “ouch!”

meanwhile on the other side of the tree,
meanwhile on the other side of the tree, emrys had climbed up on a stool to hang ornaments above dovey’s head

i think i can reach
some of the branches were just a little too high, but emrys thought he could reach them

meg look!
just then dovey turned around “meg look!” she cried out.

rescued
this time meg made it in time to rescue emrys

you two sit right here
you two sit right here, she sighed, dovey and i will finish the tree

after we settled into the hotel and had dinner, the little boys snuck out to the construction site down the road. we found them playing on “really big trucks!”

one of our favorite places to stop when we travel is beside creeks streams or rivers, which of course almost always entails a bridge of some sort. boys being boys, noah and emrys had to climb on the underside of this old rusted bridge.

it all start with a fairly typical squabble between the boys and the girls. you know the one…. “anything you can do i can do better?” the little boys were loudly proclaiming their superiority at all things, especially athletic, and amber had just had enough. the day had been rather hot and she was rather tired and cranky to begin with i think. anyway she said the girls were so much better than the boys that she could beat them at soccer with dovey as her partner, even though dovey can’t walk! of course the boys didn’t stop to think, they just accepted the dare.

doll a day july 6 – water

  • Posted on July 6, 2013 at 8:29 pm

a sudden hail storm inspired a different interpretation of the word “water” than i had planned. emrys and noah were wide eyed at the huge piles of snow balls all over the yard and insisted on going out for a snowball fight before they all melted away.

trying a new doll a day challenge. i’ll have to see how many days we can get this month. my record is only 11 so it shouldn’t be too hard to beat should it? we’ll see though…
anyway today’s word was secrets and i caught emrys and noah spying on crystalorn and alys as they whispered secrets to each other on the front porch. seemed perfect to me…

the boys run away…

  • Posted on October 1, 2012 at 4:27 pm

today was the first of several photo days to try and get my etsy store up and running. the little girls were fairly cooperative, i think it helped that it was kind of like playing dress up for them, trying on lots of pretty dresses then twirling in front of the camera, but noah and tumnus ran away to look for boys to play with. “too many frills!” they exclaimed

noah and tumnus

tumnus is a lot less cooperative since he got his new curly wig and dropped the “mr” he now looks and acts much more like a little boy than a grown elf. noah who also got new curlier hair likes the change since it gives him a boy closer to his age, instead of just girls!
