Okay, okay, I know it's already Saturday, but I was planning to post this yesterday.

It's too good to pass up!

Obie's word of the day: Trash. (He doesn't want Bee to throw away the empty floss container. "No trash!")

Obie's Word of the Day

Obie's word of the day: All Gone. (Pretty self-explainatory, anything that he's eaten all of, used up, was empty to begin with, or has disappeared from sight is all gone. Usually said with both hands palm up at his shoulders.)

Sand Castle vs. Obie

Last week we went to Hok-Si-La beach to build sand castles as part of the reading program. For some reason it didn't enter my mind to bring towels or swim suits or water or any useful thing that you would normally bring to the beach, except for small shovels and rakes - to make the castles with. We did put on sunscreen, though, and I brought the camera.

Maggie was disappointed that the sand wouldn't pop out of the castle-shaped bucket in a perfect castle shape, so she soon abandoned castle making to gather seaweed. She constructed a T-Rex nest, heart shaped, you know, because a mama T-Rex surely has a tender side.

Beatrice went for the scooping-sand-into-a-mound style of sand castle and then collected trash, ahem, treasures to decorate it with.

And here's Obie standing next to the one semi-successful attempt to dump the sand out of the bucket in a shape. Beatrice stood next to her castle for pictures, so he wanted to stand next to this one.

And Maggie sat in her nest, so Obie wanted to sit in this castle, too. I said, "no, no, no". But he wanted to sit down anyway.

Can you guess what he's thinking?

Obie's word of the day: Me!!!! (At breakfast time he ran into the kitchen yelling, "EAT!!!!" and when I asked, "Who wants cereal?" Beatrice and Obie both said, "ME!!!")
