Fish, The Train and Twinkle Twinkle Little Star





Evan, Jacob and Kim came over for lunch today. After lunch Evan wanted to go out to see the "ish" in the pond. We went outside and as soon as we got out the door he said "Cold!" So we went back in to get a jacket. Unfortunately, mama and daddy didn't bring a jacket so we had to get creative. I found my math teacher sweater and a belt to a bathrobe and Kim bundled him up in that. We went out to the pond and looked at the catfish for awhile. Then the train came by hauling lots of cars full of rocks. The train and rocks are two of Evan's favorite things so he was really excited by that train. Then we went to porch to swing for a while. I finally got him to sing Twinkle Twinkle Little Star while we were swinging. (He sang it at lunch but when I got the camera of course he wasn't interested in singing any more.) You will have to listen closely to the videos to catch it but he did sing it!

Breakfast with Aunt Coo Coo



Courtney and Evan had breakfast at the coffee table. Evan had already had one breakfast but has a little more when Courtney got up. He fed her some of her breakfast and help her wipe up when she got egg on her face!

String Beads with Aunt Coo Coo


Aunt Coo Coo helped Evan make a bead necklace for his mama for Valentine's Day. Evan enjoyed putting the beads on the string...but he like meddling in Courtney box of beads even more.

Snapping Beans at Aunt Kay's



While Mama and Daddy took their trip ( a Christmas gift) to Charleston, SC, Evan stayed with MeMe, Granddaddy and Aunt Coo Coo. We went to visit Aunt Kay one afternoon and Evan helped her snap beans. He was very intent on his work! However, I think Aunt Kay had to spend some extra time making sure those beans were edible! Watch the end of the video!
