The archaeologist struck glass! Check out this vintage Coca Cola bottle. It’s stamped Charleston, SC on the bottom and patent D-105529 on the side. Guessing someone tossed it out about the time the house was built. So cool! I swear this kid keeps life beyond interesting.
There were so many butterflies this weekend! And the kids had a grand time arguing over whether or not they were monarchs. Peace was restored to the kingdom thanks to Parker’s new skill in making shell necklaces. 
The kiddos had a chance to go in for photos even though they’re remote. Figured this was a good year to break out the red, white, and blue.
And, yes, Parker needs new pants.
I’ll give it to him. The kid’s creative. I’m just grateful we have neighbors who think he’s pretty fun. I’ve started letting him roam while we’re on the island and gave him the opportunity to go around the block. He made it as far as next door where he stopped to have an hour long chat and convinced Ken he needed a rope and a visit to the roof. Apparently, there are now plans to convert the cupola to a cat condo.
He cut down and cut up the bamboo with a hacksaw to make a seat for his treehouse pulley system … instead of doing his schoolwork. I’m simultaneously and regularly both proud and aggravated. #soingenioussofrustrating
Flu shots 😢 #necessarypain
These two are so wildly different. Dude stayed up late cleaning his room and the first thing I heard out of him this morning was, “Where’s my tie?” He’s wearing a World War I Victory Medal I found in an old antique shop. She’s in the onesie she’s going to try and squeeze into through college. Neat and messy. Hyper and calm. Doesn’t need sleep and needs all. the. sleep. Our little yin and yang crew is ready for the day. #chaosmanaged
