This Moment
{this moment} A Friday ritual. A single photo - no words - capturing a moment from the week. A simple, special, extraordinary moment. A moment I want to pause, savor and remember. If you're inspired to do the same, leave a link to your 'moment' in the comments for all to find and see. -- via SouleMama

Light Box
One of the twins told me he liked to trace things. It was news to me, but I thought it would fun to make all the boys a light box so the could trace things, which they did seem interested in doing. It took a while, but I made it mostly from materials in my basement. Here it is:
It was fun to make, and despite my mistakes along the way, it worked out pretty well. I wish the lights were brighter, but they work. It's also been sitting near where this picture was taken, unused, since I made it. Despite my whine, I'm not too bothered. They may come back to it later, maybe years later, and it was fun to make. It's nice that I have a bit more time to work on projects like this.
It was also fun watching our youngest try to ride his bike onto it.

I Can Try
I've decided to try and capture some of the fun or interesting conversations that go on in our house. I don't think they'll be particularly unique or insightful, but they might be fun. So here is the first:
Yesterday our youngest bit me. It's unusual for him and he was playing around, but I wasn't thrilled. I calmly told him biting was not okay. He tried again, and I stopped him.
Victim: Please don't bite me. Biting is not okay. It hurts.
(Pause)
Biter: I eat you.
Victim: (Smile) No, you cannot eat me.
(Shockingly brief pause.)
Biter: I can try.
