Today it was "a little bit warm" - warm enough, declared the boys, that they were hot!!! All three were running around in the back yard with their shirts off while their mother eyed them dubiously through the window as she was making supper. She thought they were perhaps a bit zealous in their rabid summer wanting.
Israel and Zion and Layla brought in "flowers" for their mama from the backyard. Israel carefully arranged the first batch in a nice little vase...and Zion was INSPIRED. ;)
The two on the edges are from him. Then he wanted us to have candles on the table for supper and selected five. Then he wanted to put options for drinks for supper on the table - we could choose between regular V-8 juice and an orange Apple and Eve blend. Then he wanted to put the candles into paper bowls. Then the brothers came in and Gabe got all inspired to burn things and was lighting and relighting the candles. Then he wanted to take a candle out to the sidewalk to burn and I said yes. The boys kept running in and out of the house busily as I was nursing Caroline on the couch and after a bit I got a whiff of something made me think that I had probably better eyeball the activities outside and sure enough the boys had a nice little leaf fire burning busily in the middle of the sidewalk leading up to the house. It was speedily doused with water and a small cup of sand (that Zion ran to fetch) and the boys cleaned it up. And we just won't talk about the little project that went on inside after that that left a burnt spot on my tablecloth. Nope. Just - public service announcement here that the candles are on hiatus for an indeterminate amount of time starting today.

You know the movie Mr. Peabody and Sherman? Zion has heard of this movie and thinks that it is Mr. Pee-Bottom and Sherman. Cackle of laughter. I have not corrected him; instead I just keep asking him about it.
