Whiny baby

I don't have the little baby in my house anymore who needs to be held while I am trying to cook dinner, and set the table, and do dishes, and and and. But last night Lady Bug brought her baby doll to me and said that the baby was crying and wanted me to hold her. I asked if there is anyway I could hold her later since I was trying to cook dinner. Nope. Baby Sarah (the doll's name) really needs to be held right now.

So I held baby Sarah as I cooked, stirred, seasoned and prepared our dinner. I held the baby as I walked to our outside freezer to get some vegetables. I held the baby as I placed the items on the table. Finally, Lady Bug told me she wasn't crying anymore and so I could put her down.

It was like having a real infant in the house again. Mr. Man took a picture of me carrying the doll around while I cooked. I refused to post the picture because you should see how incredibly awful I look!

On a different note, Spirit came home to tell us last night that in art class (which he has once a week at school) is having them draw a picture of what he defines as peace. He started describing it to me and said he drew a border along the edges of the paper and then added some mountains and two birds flying, then drew our family standing there.

awwwww, isn't that sweet? That is how he defines peace - our family in the mountains. *sniffle, sniffle*

Lefty, who goes to the same school and has art once a week also, told me that he wasn't given a choice of what to draw. She told them what to draw to define peace and he really wanted to draw the ocean. I told him can draw a picture of the ocean anytime he wants to. So he ran to the closet to get supplies. He started drawing his ocean and said he will add the family later. *chuckle*
