I tried, really I tried not to allow these two into the house (the chairs, not the children 🙂

‘

Jim brought them home with a guilty look on his face. I banished them to the front porch for a while. Then I stuck them on the back porch. Then I tried to fit them under a bed. But nope, they were destined to become a part of the family.

These two chairs now belong to Jim and me (mine is the one on the left that Colter is in). They are stuck upstairs in the school/clothing/tv room. Whenever Jim and I watch tv or a movie (which is pretty rare), these are our chairs.

I busted Brett and Cole the other day. They decided to hide and read where I wouldn’t think to look for them. Cole is reading, The Golden Fleece, the Greek mythology story about Jason and the Argonauts. Brett is reading about George Washington. Colter is completely oblivious to my presence, but Brett is (of course) totally aware of everything going on around her. She’s going to make a great mom some day. She can read a book, follow two conversations, and hear me mention her name from the other side of the house. She’s such a mini-me!
