Lanterns


Sometimes an idea actually comes together as you hope.....


I really love seeing the kids spend so much time together
 now that we are homeschooling ~


Big Brothers helping Little Sisters *sigh*


Building friendships from sibling'ships


It's working!


Mid Autumn Festival is all about 
being thankful for the harvest & family


 ~ and seeing how not 'everyone' is here right now.....


...I am so enjoying seeing these relationships deepen.


So thankful 


The boys have no idea how much their girls adore them ~


From a 'not so good' homeschooling Mom, 
and a 'not so crafty' Mom 


 ~ the giggles are the best encouragement to this Tired Mom's heart

LEGO

 There are simply some things that no matter how hard I try....


I will never quite master.....


Starting the Push Mower is one....


...and building cool LEGO spaceships is certainly another.


Thankfully, there are 2 other Master Builders in this house....


...that also just happen to be the World's Best Big Brothers


I can admit it ~ they are way cooler then me 
and can make the best machine gun sound effects.


I think 'someone' is really liking being a little brother in this family.


Who knows, maybe one day you'll get the chance 
to be the Big Brother.....
(not anytime soon though ~ maybe to a goldfish.....)
