The New Chapter of Life

2019-02-10 Sunday 9:50pm
This little post has been in my drafts since May of 2014. I am finally getting around to adding back in the images which were lost once the Posterous site went down. The Knights and Princesses stories must continue and be of value to all shiny eyed people remembering these days of yonder past.

Back May 2014 sometime. . . ago.
We are in a new phase of life and many things have changed. Our little people are not so little any longer. They are dancing and have tried out for a play for this Summer among other things.
I noticed my images which were posted via Posterous are now links to their site just saying that the site is closed. I will need to find the images and reconnect them.
We have a garden planted and hope it will do better than last year. =) We have had a few thunderstorms to help with watering etc. ;)
I have a video project needing to be finished before June because there will be another one then to be finished as well. I will also be videotaping Graduation too. Oh my!
We are also trying to graduate to a smart phone using Android. This is the one we will test out.

The Carriage Ride

The Queen allowed little knight to control the steering wheel the other day as the carriage came up along the path. As little knight dismounted he said to Her Highness, "thank you for teaching me to drive."
Once inside the castle, he became thoughtful, proud of his new skill. He announced that now he knew how to drive the carriage, he could probably now take the King off to work if the King so desired.

Morning Attitude

This just in from Castle Headquarters:
Little Knight woke up with a few thoughts on his mind:
"I'm thirsty. . . .
"I'm thirsty AND I'm hungry." (thinking . . .)
"I'm thirsty, hungry, play-ey, but NOT work-ey!"

It's just a cute innocent way of saying, "I have needs, this morning, Mom, and I am really interested in getting to the fun stuff, but no chores, thank you. I'm not interested."

Potions in My Mouth

RLB "Do you know what?"
Me "What?"
RLB "I can make potions in my mouth."
Me "Huh?"
RLB: "I just put some carrots and potatoes and other things in and chew for a while till it all becomes smooth like liquid."

Do you have a CPR?

"Dad when will you borrow the CPR again?" We have been watching Star Wars and some of its lingo has rubbed off on Little Knight. So when we borrowed a VCR to watch some of our video tapes (including Star Wars) it was dubbed a CPR (C3P0 & VCR). :)

Am I still five?

The day after Benjamin turned five he woke up and wondered out loud, "Am I still five?" He had waited so long, it seemed, to be five that it might not still be true. . . "Yes, dear, you are still five."

I'm pretending Mom's the boss.

Benj, "Mom, can I have one of these crackers? (The small, square, crackers which come with 'peanut butter' or 'cheese' in small packs, which we get on special occasions.)
Dad answers, "No, you can have a regular (saltine) cracker."
"I am not asking you Dad. I am asking Mom."
"But I am the 'boss' Benjamin."
"Well, I am pretending Mom's the boss right now. . ."
"Oh."
