life imitating art

Some how the boy has found out about minecraft.  We don't have the game ourselves, so he's made up his own version with legos.


And taking a turn on the xylophone at the new park.



The boy ransacked his wardrobe to come up with this outfit to wear while driving his jeep.  Not sure if he knows the implications of camo and tannish grays with the jeep, plus the floppy hat.

June fun (and a little July)

Many many years ago, I saved all the money I made one summer to buy the latest in word processing technology.  It came in useful, as I was in college, for writing papers, before such things as laptops and personal printers were a thing.  Believe it or not, it's still laying around the house.


Sometimes, when it's super cold or super hot outside, we have come out with games of our own.  Recently the boy has become interested in treasure maps, and treasure.  So, I oblige with a drawn map of the living room, complete with x-marks-the-spot treasures of m&ms.  Today, the boy made his own map for me to find toys.

At the bottom, you'll notice two figures: the boy holding his crayon and me, holding my phone.  In the center is the broom.  On the left, is the couch.  It's a guess that on the right is the rocking horse.  Cute, huh?


Look how excited the boy is about the fourth of July!
