"Boon!"

For only $1.00 a day, you can provide this poor little dirty orphan with a blackberry that will feed her and give her enough energy to sew sweaters out of donkey hair for her entire family of 48.

Today, I let the runts get into the sidewalk chalk while they feasted on blackberries. Wyatt produced two more pieces of high art that I think would go for millions at auction. This afternoon, he clapped to a song... on beat! I think he's my little artsy weasel of the two and hopefully won't be one of those awkward and doofy white boys who can't dance to save their lives!




We are obsessed with balloons this week. Their favorite Teletubbies episode right now is about basketball and balloons. So, when I sat down with Callie yesterday to read a book with a picture of a balloon in it, you could see the wheels turning as she realized that it was the same thing as the balloon on her favorite episode. Now, she shows me the book and points to the balloon and says "Boon! Boon! Boon!" and then she points to our bedroom and says "Tee tuh!" (Teletubbies) and nods her head to let me know that watching the balloon episode is exactly what she thinks we should do. It's been a vicious cycle over the last couple of days and I'm loving every cute but repetitive second of it!

Also, Cal Bear is into spinning in circles until she gets dizzy enough to fall over. Sooner or later she's gonna puke. I can feel it.
