Yesterday was a big day, not only was it Princess Persistent’s birthday but Darling Boy tested for his next belt in karate.
Here he is, our little Brown Belt and his very proud momma!

Left to his own devices, I think Darling Boy would spend ALL of his free time in front of his computer screen!

Sometimes DB likes to go to the quiet of his room and read in peace before bedtime. I can’t blame him, PP definitely has her moments when she won’t stop talking!

Darling Boy enjoys reading the comics every day. It’s just too bad that classics that I grew up with, such as The Far Side, Calvin and Hobbes, and Bloom County aren’t around any more…

I’ve got about 3 hrs of labor into repainting DBs room so far, and I haven’t even opened the can of paint I’ll be using on the walls yet. I think the most time-consuming part was cleaning and emptying an 11 year old’s room, what a mess!

Apparently, Skylanders is a video game and there are Skylanders action figures
As I discovered while wandering the house with my camera, DB has the game
AND a couple of the figures
Who knew? Obviously, I didn’t!

It seems that I’m making it a “toys” theme this week, since yesterday’s photo was of a Lego replica of the Millenium Falcon. Tomorrow is Wanton Wednesday, I wonder if I can incorporate a different variety of toy into that post?

My mom got this Lego set for Darling Boy back in August for his birthday. It took until she visited for a week around the holidays for him to build it, with her help. I teased him about what took him so long, since he really enjoys playing with it now!

Poor Darling Boy, puberty is approaching, he got a pimple and it’s a doozy! Bad spot too!

The weekly photography challenge at the Digital Photography School this week is “Smile“, so I grabbed some candid photos of the kids.

Darling Boy is such a good big brother, reading stories to his sister before lights out
