Artist or Astronaut?

Ok, indulge me. I have to show off for just a minute. I know that Kingston is really interested in the Solar System, and it drives me crazy for the most part, but I think his drawings are really good! I get about 5 of these a day that are expected to go on the fridge, but lately they've been extraordinarily good, I think. I know I'm biased. He is a pretty good colorer too and he takes great pride in staying in the lines.

Creative Messes

Ever since Solomon could walk he has been fascinated with crayons and whenever he can get his hands on them, he loves to eat them. It doesn't matter how many times I tell him "no" or how many times I take them away, he always takes bites. Anyway, on this particular day, he managed to eat a whole jumbo green crayon before I noticed. All I found was the soggy paper wrapper stuck to his shirt. This was his reaction when I took the last little bit of green crayon and the paper away. I am such a mean mommy.Later that day, we got out the Play-Doh so Kingston could make a solar system. When we were finished, I asked Kingson to please clean it up and put it in the containers.

He is very pleased with his creation.

Church?

Kingston had a fever on Sunday, so he missed church. I guess he really missed it. On Monday afternoon, he said to me, "maybe our home can be church". I told him that God doesn't care where we worship, and so we could also do it here at home. He wanted to. I had to capture it. The "pulpit" is his armchair turned over. He does a pretty good job leading singing, but the dancing might be too much for some Church of Christ elders!!

I'm not sure what these songs are. I'm pretty sure he started making them up after he sang "Jesus Loves Me" a couple of times. Once, while singing a song that was made up and included made up words, he looked at me and said, "You need to sing with me."

The Sweetest Thing

Monday night I gave the boys a bath together. Jeremy was working late, so when they finished, I started putting clothes in the dirty basket, hanging up towels, etc. I heard Kingston saying "Come on" and I peeked into the bathroom and I saw him helping Solomon onto the step stool to look out the window. Then he put his arm around Solomon and pointed and said, "That is the moon!". I snapped this picture before they moved or fell off. It just might be my favorite picture ever.

Ghouls at Grassmere and Trunk or Treat

We had a really fun weekend last weekend. Friday night we went to Ghouls at Grassmere with the Johns Family and then Saturday we had Trunk or Treat at Woodson Chapel. Kingston is really getting into this candy thing.Had to throw this picture in of a sweet Saturday morning.
This is Kingston's good friend, Jacob. He really wasn't too sure about the face paint.

Kingston and his other good friend, Jacob. Again, not too sure about the face paint.

Kingston goes for the pinata.

Kingston goes down the big slide

Abigail goes in for a kiss, as Solomon leans in to get it!!

Kingston and Abigail....do they look like they're up to something?

I think this picture is hilarious. He looks so big and proud with his arm around Abigail.

It's A Beautiful Life

Jeremy took the day off work today and we had a great family day. We went to the zoo pretty early and we went to Dick's Sporting Goods to get Kingston a soccer ball and net. Jeremy is signing him up to play in the spring. We also went to Opry Mills and strolled around. We all had so much fun and were tired when we got home, but it was a perfect day. I had to share some pictures.I wanted to take a picture of Kingston but he was running from me.
Solomon was mad too, maybe because I had him bundled up so much!

Kingston with a family favorite, the meerkats.

You can't see it well because of the glare, but the Snow Leopard was walking right by the glass. Solomon didn't like it very much and immediately turned around and started grabbing at Jeremy.

He was okay if Jeremy was holding him at a safe distance.

Solomon (and Kingston, that is him in the background) had so much fun at the revamped "playin' ground".

Kingston chose to ride the zebra on the carousel. Jeremy sat on the bench with Solomon who screamed the whole time.

The Little Pharr Men

We are still in Destin and staying in a house with Shane and Amanda. I had to post these pictures of the little Pharr men, my boys and nephews. Kingston and Caleb
