I know I've said this before, and besides, it's obvious, but I love the combination of fun, coziness, and genuinely sophisticated design/engineering sensibility these projects show.Laura Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08168905598871608315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7596826491172481628.post-55765835578697044122011-07-17T16:09:56.740-07:002011-07-17T16:09:56.740-07:00Wish I had time to respond individually to you all...Wish I had time to respond individually to you all, but I don't want to be online except for a few more minutes.<br /><br />I always love to read the comments and very much appreciate your taking the time to say something. My kids really are artistic (all four of them), but they had lots of time to practice! :-<br /><br />For "the mommma"--Aaron likes to draw and write, too, but he loved constructing things, and we had lots of building toys for him. He spent hours and hours playing with his legos and other sets, with motors, with tools, with lights and batteries and all sorts of things--and he would blend them all to make up crazy creations! He read more than anything, though. He was a fun combination of athleticism and intellect (brawn and brains) and was one really sweet boy! :-)<br /><br />Good memories, for sure. . .<br />SusanSusanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06469299112021260475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7596826491172481628.post-86919652090759325112011-07-17T11:02:07.525-07:002011-07-17T11:02:07.525-07:00What a wonderful treasure trove!

I bet, in addition to being the 'most fun' box, it was also the 'take the longest to go through' box :-)<br />Oh - I have to tell you ~ I have been looking for an old typewriter for a few years now, so we can do your 'everyone writes' stories that take off in different directions, based on who has control of the typewriter.... I finally found one the other day! I had to pay more than I wanted to for it, but I am so excited to get it. To top it off; it's a lovely green :-)<br /><br />I have to ask, having mostly boys - what did Aaron do with the bulk of his free time? writing & drawing seems to be more something girls would be drawn to (pun intended ;-)the mommahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06442659609532682275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7596826491172481628.post-52469876801387635202011-07-15T14:28:45.959-07:002011-07-15T14:28:45.959-07:00What wonderful memories, I'm not surprises you...What wonderful memories, I'm not surprises you were smiling :) As everyone else has said, FANTASTIC artwork!Hope you have as much fun with the rest of the boxes.Clainahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09584624852429655664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7596826491172481628.post-87883676777400394082011-07-15T14:11:17.442-07:002011-07-15T14:11:17.442-07:00oh.my.goodness.gracious. for real!?! that is ama...oh.my.goodness.gracious. for real!?! that is amazing work...the calendar is unbelievably gorgeous...y'all are definitely an artistic, literary family!!!Aimeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09312982290929692281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7596826491172481628.post-63477044246203170122011-07-15T12:55:00.158-07:002011-07-15T12:55:00.158-07:00back again .. to say
