This is Pecos Bill, using a snake as a lasso.  🙂

Before a dinner of Mahi-Mahi, Lucy asked skeptically, “what is this?”  Max reassured her, “this chicken tastes just like fish!”

Lucy has taken to giving me kisses on my arm, neck, leg, etc that are more like small hickeys (not on my mouth).  She says, “I’m sucking your milk!”  I don’t know which friend of ours was breastfeeding, but that’s what I think is happening.  To my knowledge, there’s no lactating going on here.

After Bub asked her what she learned in Sunday School last week, she replied, “The story was about Jesus and Goliaf!”

And with only a bit of assistance, Lucy is counting enthusiastically to 100.  Doesn’t hurt to have a big brother! 

This was the first year that Max entered some artwork into the SB Fair and Expo.  We submitted 1 Lego creation and 9 drawings.  You should have seen the entry form – very funny – ‘Pirate Ship – in blues and browns, Pirate Ship – in browns and blacks, Pirate Ship – in pencil and black pen, etc.’  It was great fun to see that he won NINE First Place ribbons and one Second Place ribbon.  It certainly helps that we don’t live in LA County and have to compete with masses of kids, but still – pretty impressive!
