The Cold Never Bothered Her Anyway

March 25, 2014 by dailygnome 1 Comment

Although she’s been belting out the soundtrack and driving him batty the past 3 months, C couldn’t resist being part of the surprise the day Frozen came out on DVD (he’s secretly planning a retaliation when The Lego Movie is released featuring its own catchy theme song).

Sibling BFFs

October 10, 2012 by dailygnome 1 Comment

Living in close quarters, void of toys and familiarity I wasn’t sure how the kids would adapt to our temporary living situation. Without their neighborhood friends and regular scheduled play dates the most unexpected happened – they’ve been getting along better than ever. Bonding over spaceship creations {made of scrap wood from the house site}. Impromptu art projects. Logging hours of Lego time {Carson makes her fancy ships with pink wings}. Taking turns in the hammock chair. Exploring. Let’s hope this lovefest continues when we’re back in the house. Knock on {scrap} wood.

I came across this quote on the wall of the Charles M. Schulz Museum and it stayed with me. I often wonder what their treasured memories growing up will be.
