a smattering of family, food, and art for our friends
Since Henry was looking a lot like a Lost Boy, I took him to the kiddie haircut place after soccer today. It was a zoo so we walked a few stores down to Great Clips, where they were happy to cut both boys’ hair (Still haven’t cut Miss Ev’s… it’s just too pretty to cut)
He didn’t mind the lady messing with him one bit, but he just kept looking all over the place, so…
I’m happy it went so well, and to see more of this handsome face now!

Looking at a framed piece of art tonight…
Oscar: Is this representational or non-objective?
Maggie and Greg: (in unison) What?!?!
Oscar: Representational means it’s real. See this (points to another frame) is non-objective.
Maggie: Did you have art today?
Oscar: Yeah.
Coloring…
Oscar: Can you hand me that crown?
Maggie: Buddy, say crayon.
Oscar: Cr-own.
After he drew a picture of us eating out, to ask me on a date…
Oscar: Hang on. Let me add more details to my drawing.
Last minute silliness before bedtime…
Evelyn: I brush teeth.
Oscar: Aaaaah! My sister said “butt cheek!”
You know the baby needs a haircut when…
Oscar: Mom…you need to take Henry to the haircut store.
Driving down our street on a night when a lot of cars were parked outside…
Oscar: Wow. There sure are a lot of cars in this village.
Some boy. That’s for sure.
