The boys and I headed out last night to give Luis some space to work on the new bathroom. We ran some very important errands. We went to Michales to get more pipe cleaners because we already finshed the pack we had (Taye is very into pipe cleaner sculpting). We stopped into Petco just because its next to Michaels, and we got some treats for Cookie Monster. Then we went up the street to the Salvation Army, just for the heck of it. We found a nice tricycle for...(drumroll, please) 3 bucks! The boys wanted to ride it right then, and were very careful to check and make sure I put it in the trunk before I could buckle them into their carseats. Of course they both fell asleep on the way home, so they didn't get to ride it until today. But I think they've already had three dollars worth of fun on it just today, it was definitely a bargain.
John Greenleaf Whittier BLESSINGS on thee, little man, Barefoot boy, with cheek of tan!
With thy turned-up pantaloons,
And thy merry whistled tunes;
With thy red lip, redder still
Kissed by strawberries on the hill;
With the sunshine on thy face,
Through thy torn brim’s jaunty grace;
From my heart I give thee joy,—
I was once a barefoot boy!
Prince thou art,—the grown-up man
Only is republican.
Let the million-dollared ride!
Barefoot, trudging at his side,
Thou hast more than he can buy
In the reach of ear and eye,—
Outward sunshine, inward joy: Blessings on thee, barefoot boy!
