Friday!

1.  Start with Lucy today.  This sweet little girl has officially become a toddler and is developing a sweet, funny personality to go with her new status.  She can say a lot of things and surprises me by how much she knows.  The other day we were getting ready to go out and I was putting on my shoes.  Lucy was in the middle of the living room and said “Lucy’s shoe,” then got down on the floor and pulled one of her shoes out from under the couch. 

2.  Her current obsession is her belly button.  Please don’t dress her in a onesie… she’d be lost if she couldn’t stick her finger in her belly button! 

3.  Henry has started telling jokes.  Well, really just one.  It started with this book (Blue Hat, Green Hat), which Matt likes to make fun of by stringing together three random things and adding “oops” at the end.  Henry thinks this is the FUNNIEST thing ever and likes to make up his own versions.  So a joke from Henry might sound like: “Ceiling, floor, window… oops!” or “Car, hamburger… oops!”  (followed by hysterical laughter, of course).  Here’s a page from the book:

4.  You want to see one?  Let me edit a video and get that up for you in a little bit.  Ok, here goes:

5.  Our bathroom is getting a makeover!  We’re not finished yet so I can’t show you a finished product, but I can show you this “before” shot (from when we bought the house) and the other is a picture of a bathroom we loved.  We’re not exactly copying it, but it has provided some inspiration for us.  Hopefully we’ll have some pictures next weekend!

James loves that book too! Really he loves all the Sandra Boynton books, especially "Opposites." I'm sure he'll love hearing Henry's jokes at Long Lake.
