Like bookends

They were in a matchy mood today and found their overalls - funny how easy those were back in the day....why does no one think 5T overalls should have a fly? Grrr. At least they looked cute, right??

It was "Snow Day" at the library, and on the way Jack said 'I wished we lived on Snow Island where it snows all night and it snows all day'...from your lips, sweet boy! Next Thursday seems to hold our next hope...

Lunch involved a milk tower on Harry's part (remember those candy necklaces? I think it was a mistake....again with the grrr)

All the drama of bored 4yo's may be seen here ;-)

Then they decided to ham it up for the camera, and I thought of this song

Simon And Garfunkel's Old Friends

Old Friends

Old friends

Old friends

Sat on their park bench

Like bookends

A newspaper blown through the grass

Falls on the round toes

Of the high shoes

Of the old friends

Old friends

Winter companions

The old men

Lost in their overcoats

...

Can you imagine us years from today

Sharing a park bench quietly?

How terribly strange to be seventy

Old friends

Memory brushes the same years

Silently sharing the same fear...

And just about the time their misbehavior and silliness have worn me down to a frustrated grrr, they notice the sun shining thru the clouds and say it's been a long time and jump out of the van and do this:

(if it didn't work for some reason, they are complimenting the sun on a job well done - breaking up the clouds and shining after so long)

On the way home, Harry says "My behavior is getting nicer. Let's all have happy faces now!" Yes, let's :-)
