Wishful thinking, I think

Home schooling assignment

"If I lived in the White House.....I would spend money
on people who don't have any money. I would find parents for orphans."

Bet you didn't know you can make really cool crowns out
of packing peanuts and use them as agents of torture on your baby brother.

    Children are the best; completely honest, uninhibited and straight forward. And they make more sense than adults most of the time.;)

    To tell you the truth, I am totally fascinated by the packing peanuts; especially the bio degradable ones that can melt in water.:P
    I guess I am a child deep down.;))

    Your kids are lovely.;)

    Protege, the water melting type were the ones they were playing with. She was making all kinds of things out of them by wetting the ends and sticking them together. Those crazy peanuts are fascination worthy!

    Packing peanuts are interesting objects. I didn't know you could make crowns with them.

    Stevie....the kids brought back memories. In our house, it was two older brothers( by 10 & 6 years)
    who tortured the baby sister!
    Kids are the secret to life!

    I see that creativity is being passed on to your grandkids. They all look quite happy, some more than others!
    I also see different shades of red hair, is that right? My youngest daughter has red hair. She was born blonde and it changed to red when she was about 4 months old. It runs on my husband's side!
