they were on a pirate kick today.

sure it had something to do with brooks' show and share.

they wanted to watch hook in the car.

put it in at the house too.

shared the same bean bag for a snack of doubloons...

mini nilla wafers.

scoped out the living room for secret passages.

pulled all of the pirate toys out of the playroom.

glad they didn't make me walk the plank.

 

tonight in class we talked about ruth.

how she showed her love for naomi by gathering wheat from the fields.

sam is role playing.

balancing his basket of wheat on his head.

wonder if ruth used her tongue for balance as well.

he has been at it for a couple of weeks now.

trying to perfect the bubble.

i wish you could see the pictures leading up to this one.

he can't flatten the gun over the tip of his tongue yet.

he uses his fingers to mold it around instead.

yes.

his needs to be trimmed, played outside all afternoon, dirty little 7 year old fingers.

first he flattens the gum like a pancake.

then places it around the tip of his tongue.

holds it in place with his fingers wrapped around the tongue.

then blows.

quite the ordeal.

quite the boy.

everybody had it tonight.

nicklaus started his log for his science fair project.

sam loving his "homework".

practice worksheets i found online.

charlie typing away for l.a. in my office.

nicklaus singing to we are young..

sam dancing to imma be.

then back to work.

 

the letter of the week is i.

today they had to bring something in.

i put charlie on it while i made lunches.

they came out of the playroom carrying the green basket.

i look quizzically at charlie.

sam climbed in.

i am in the bin.

done.
