Hi everybody! It's Liz. I know, don't freak out. Have you seen this painting by Norman Rockwell before? I love it. If I were rich, I'd buy it for the boys' room. I just thought I'd borrow the idea and give you a glimpse into my boys' world rather than a REALLY long catch-up post. Here goes.......A day in the life of Josh:
Wake up and head outside. Help Dad shovel the driveway and sidewalk if there's been snow. Lately, it's been dumping.
All work and no play makes Josh a dull boy.
Head to preschool at Miss Kristi's and make some ridiculously cute craft that you'll demand to keep in your room for the requisite 3 months before finally forgetting you have it and not noticing that your Mom snuck it to the garbage. What?
Eat nothing off your lunch plate and make yourself a cozy bed somewhere in the house (under the crib, in a beanbag, on two kitchen chairs pushed together) just in time to fall asleep.
Fall fast asleep surrounded by your "creatures".

Wake up and play with friends - usually best friend Jonah. This box is a transformer. When asked what it transforms into, you reply "a box". duh.
Eat dinner. Your favorite being anything with sticky rice. Seriously, did it have to be sticky rice?
Have a bath. Make something to show Daddy. This is an x-ray. Run laps with Charlie around the house for about 20 minutes and then...

Wake up happy and eat twice the breakfast that your big brother eats.
Where does all that food go? Your hair?
Head outside to play with your brother. There's a rule in my house; nobody gets real snow clothes until they're at least 2 feet tall.
Play in Joshy's room and read books while he's in preschool. Yes...that is a jet pack 3000.
Play everywhere else and make big messes until Daddy gets home.
Eat dinner with the family (and again eat twice what Josh does) being very careful to use your best table manners.
No it doesn't matter how many times you ask. I'm not going to tell you what's on that finger.
Have a bath. Have a story. Run laps with Josh until you collapse in exhaustion at the very late hour of 7:00.
