Hmmmm.

What you might get if you have a kid who is super sweet . . .



(A purple flower in a brown pot that I got today.)

and funny . . .

A conversation at lunchtime recently:
Andy: Thanks for my green plate!
Me: It's not green, it is yellow.
Andy: Oh. I wanted green to match my peanut butter.
Kyndall: Peanut butter isn't green. It's brown. (In a "know-it-all" tone, of course)
Andy: Really, Mom?
Me: Yes, Andy. Sorry!

He laughed and we all got the giggles. It can't feel good to get corrected by your two-year old sister!


and crazy about making stuff . . .


(The model he was looking to copy last spring.)



(His version.)

yet seems to be colorblind.



I LOVE ANDY!!!!!!!!!!

But I am just not wanting him to pick out his own outfits anytime soon.

All he wants for CHRISTMAS . . .


. . . is his TWO FRONT TEETH!!!!


Connor pulled out the other top front tooth and came running downstairs two nights ago with the sweetest (and funniest) WHISTLE when he talks! Jon and I were rolling with laughter . . . thankfully he thought it was funny too.
It is a HUGE hole. No more cute little baby teeth that fit so nicely in a little mouth and make for a straight teeth smile. Here comes the crookedness!!! Ugh . . . $$$$$$$$$$$$.

FIVE.

Anderson David is FIVE.

A whole hand of fingers. Old enough for Kindergarten next year. Officially in the big boy clothes at the store. Able to write sweet notes and leave them on a pillow. But still my little boy!



We celebrated LEGO STAR WARS style with family last night. And, of course, Aunt Jen created an AMAZING cake AND cupcakes. So super talented she is!!!!


Presents for one lucky kid! His comments were classic "Andy". (Oh, and Connor was working on wiggling a tooth all night . . . somehow every picture of him has his hands in his mouth. Yuck.)



Played R2-D2 in TROUBLE with cousins. I honestly didn't remember how frustrating that game can be. Thankfully they all worked through it and really stuck it out until it got too late.



Then, today on his actual birthday, he wanted to build at Home Depot, eat his free birthday donuts at Krispy Kreme and put together a new lego set with Connor.

Happy Birthday, Andy-boy! You are my constant reminder that God knows exactly what we need! So thankful for you, Anderson!!!
