my little brother

Today was a busy day.

First i bundled Seth up in one hoodie then a winter coat, put on his gloves (or globes...thats how he says it and has gotten me used to saying it like that too), and his hat, oh and then i decided on putting a scarf on him too.

We were on our way to see the river at the end of my neighborhood. Its been flooding pretty bad. To me this is a normal more than a few times a year occurence. But Pontiac has been suffering this year more than usual i think. I feel for them. There isn't much you can do when your whole house floods. Its very sad because they are losing most of their possessions. Its easy to lose furniture but what about pictures?

So we headed down our street and headed a little farther to the end of the neighborhood. it isn't that bad really. although...the river has come to the street. and if you look at the trees way out there in the picture...maybe 20 or 30 feet PAST those is where the river should be. give or take a few feet. i'm awful at trying to figure out distance by feet. haha.








then we came home and drank some hot chocolate and i decided to be artsy fartsy with the boy! he had a blast being creative with the paint. i loved watching him...he had no inhibitions. he didn't care about mixing colors or anything. it was relaxing for me to watch and fun.









then after supper i remembered i had wanted to make some cookies. so he was a big help pouring the water and oil and butter in the bowl. and even helping me mix. he loves being my little helper. maybe i'll eventually get him a little apron.
