Saturdays around here are really fun. I love them. We don’t do much, just hang out and play. Jared’s home and the kids love hanging out with Daddy all day. Yesterday morning I was excited to tell Win that it was a Saturday and Daddy would be home ALL day. I said, “Do you know what today is? Today is Saturday! What happens on Saturdays?” Win replied, “Presents?” recalling that last saturday we celebrated his birthday and he opened presents. Amazed that he had remembered that the whole birthday/present experience did truly happen on a Saturday I asked him again. He said, “Daddy new ‘puter?” referring to the new computer that arrived in the mail the Saturday before. Again I was amazed at his memory. Here are some pictures of the last 2 Saturdays.

Here’s Win wondering what is in the big box.

Things becoming a little more obvious.

Here are the boys ogling at the new ‘puter

Win loved ripping (usually a forbidden activity) the paper off the book presents that he received. He’s been lovin’ his new books all week.

He also really enjoyed eating Henderson chocolate peanut butter cake.

In addition to knowing his letters, Win is really good at coloring. We bought him some crayons for his birthday and he’s really taken a liking to it. How do you like the cookie monster that he* colored?

Randall, our neighbor and friend, came over yesterday. His mother is sick and in the hospital. He borrowed Win’s crayons to make her a card.

Win shared very nicely.

They both worked diligently on their respective projects.

*Truthfully, Win didn’t really color the cookie monster in the first picture. That’s what in know among professionals as a “camera trick.” The secret: I inserted a pre-colored image onto the table. He took a crayon and began coloring on top it it, creating the illusion that he had actually colored like an adult. This is a secret little professional trick that I am willing to reveal. ;-)
