I have a stash of photos of things I see around the house that amuse me. I'm going to share some because maybe some of them are remotely interesting or amusing to someone who's not me. I know that one day there won't be any Legos buried in the carpet, but when you can't go barefoot in your own house, that time seems very far off and difficult to imagine.** When that day comes I'll have these photos to remind me what life was like way back when.
Two days ago Jack set up this jar outside his bedroom. I'm not sure if he's collecting for something specific. I think he's just hopeful that someone might stop by and give him some cash. Hey, a person can always dream, right? I need to teach him that tip jar thing where you put your own dollar in there to get things going.
**Wow, this is really way out there, but when I reread this sentence it made me think of Aragorn's speech at the Black Gates in Return of the King with him yelling, "But it is not this day!"
The day may come when the pathways of your hall are clear; when we forsake the life of plastic bricks and walk without shoes; but it is not this day-
An hour of silence when no overturned bucket of plastic pieces comes crashing down to the floor- but it not this day!!!
This day we fight!
I am loving it! Maybe you should teach him to work for his money? You cheapies ever hear of an allowance? Oh, and be glad for this other reason you left CA, allowances here can get pretty steep!
Have a great day!
