in the spirit of mouse paint
... the lil' sprouts had a *lesson in color:
red + yellow = orange
red + blue = purple
yellow + blue = green
and I learned from the lil' sprouts that
red+yellow+blue + orange+purple+green = a purple-ish, mauve-ish, brown-ish sort of hue
Only they could somehow manage to come up with such a color.
*mouse not included ;)
welcome
- Hello and thank you for visiting!
- I am the wife of one awesome dear husband, married eight years, and the mother of three beautiful children, Little Man, Miss Girl, and Baby Girl.
- My husband affectionately calls me 'bean' and you can, too!
the lil' sprouts
- Little Man, 6 years old
- Our cautious and pensive little boy, Little Man is always ready to give mom, dad, and his sisters hugs and kisses. He absolutely loves airplanes and building sand castles at the beach. Little Man will begin first grade at home in August 2009.
- Miss Girl, 3 1/2 years old
- Our wild child and free-spirited little girl, Miss Girl is always ready to give mom and dad a heart attack. She enjoys running around barefoot and never makes it past morning time with a shirt on. Miss Girl will continue learning alongside her brother at home.
- Baby Girl, born June 2009
- Our newest lil' sprout, Baby Girl has been a bundle of joy. She nurses and sleeps happily and always wants to be held. She is good at exercising her lungs when deprived of physical contact for more than ten minutes. We are, indeed, having the best time figuring out how to be this new family of five.
