Interpretive Art

If you've met Cubby in R.L. (real life), you know without a doubt, that he is anything but quiet. Or still. Or quiet AND still. Inside voices don't exist in his world and neither does walking.

**Side Note - as I typed this, I found myself thinking back to this post that I wrote during our second trip to Moscow to adopt Cubby, and this picture:

If only I knew then how much running and how little walking our son would do once finally home - - oy!!

Anyway, I digress...

So imagine my concern recently when my house was both silent and still, but Cubby was here.

Somewhere.

The question was what was he up to????

I ventured up to his room and found him intently working on this project...

Which I must say turned out amazing!!!

I love the way his little brain works and his imagination rocks! When I complimented him on the guitar, he told me to look at the surprise he made me in my closet. My first thought?

Uh-oh...

And I found this - -


When I asked him what it was he looked at me like I was the biggest goof in the world and said "A BUTTERFLY MOMMY! DUH!!!"

Of course it is Little Man! Of course!

Great Day for a Giveway!!

This summer has been ridiculously chaotic at times, but for the most part it's been great. Proof of this is the fact that I've been meaning to post this for over a week. Although I am waaaay behind in doing so, it's for a great cause and for a great family whom I had the pleasure of meeting in person in early June.

Head on over to the blog of Melissa, Nathan and Iliya - - yes another Il(i)ya!! Melissa & Nathan adopted their precious son, Iliya, from Russia and are now in the process of their 2nd adoption. They're having a great fundraiser right now but time is running out so stop by today and enter for a chance to win some really great items!

Thanks & hugs to everyone,
Karyn, Norm & Ilya

The World According to Cubby

Here are a few conversations we've had with Cubby this week:

#1
Cubby: Mommy, Bailey doesn't feel good.
Me: Oh, really? What's wrong with her?
Cubby: She has a headache!
Me: Oh no! Poor baby girl! How are we gonna make her feel better?
Cubby: Ummmm...(thinking about it very hard)...with a SCREWDRIVER!!
Me: Uhhhh...let's try something else, shall we?
Cubby: My drill?!?!?
Me: Uh, no...

#2
Me: What color is the sky?
Cubby: Blue!
Me: What color is the grass?
Cubby: Green!
Me: What color is your hair?
Cubby: Blonde!
Me: What color is Bailey?
Cubby: Uhhhh...Fur and Soft!!

#3
Cashier: You sure are a cute little boy!
Cubby: No I'm not. I'm HANDSOME!!

One tired little boy

Heehee - - I've always wondered how kids end up sleeping like this! He WAS.OUT! So sweet...

This was taken at my dad's house last Thursday after a very long 10 hr ride from Atlanta to West Palm Beach for our 4th of July camping trip in Key Largo. More on that trip later!

Cubby is in L.U.V.

And I have to admit, my little sweetie has good taste!

Check it out...

I mean seriously - - eyes closed and everything!?!? Makes me blush just to look at this but I absolutely love this photo, as well as the memories surrounding Cubby's first trip to Disney.

Yes, I am a month overdue on that update but so much has been going on and so many other trips have taken place. It's turning out to be a crazy summer but we're having a blast (when I'm not sick that is) but more on that later.

I HAD to post this picture now. Hope you enjoy it as much as Cubby & I do!

Hugs to everyone,
Kar

WHERE'D ALL HIS CUTE LITTLE BABY FAT GO??? :-(
My little boy's growing up waaaaaaay too fast!

Well hello there!

No, we haven't been at Disney World since Memorial Day (although Cubby & I would both LOVE to be back with Mickey & Friends). BUT.....

That doesn't mean we've been home this whole time either!

Cubby's calendar has been quite full with trips to Florida, Alabama, back home to Georgia, and now North Carolina. Hmmm....3 different states in 4 weeks.

Tiring Impressive for mommy and daddy a 3 year old!!

Anyhoo

We have a ton of stuff going on lately. Lots of changes, some good & some not-so-good but all survivable. I miss blogging and my blogger friends, and plan on getting back on the keyboard on a regular basis very soon. I have lots to write about and even more pictures to share. As I gather all that together, I just wanted to drop a quick post and, as Mickey says

See You Real Soon!
