Color



Today I found Ezra organizing his chalk by color groups.   He was struggling with what to do with the brown one.  (top left).




I didn't know what to do with it either, so we just added it to the "reds."


On Saturday we made rainbow jello cups for Easter Sunday.  We talked about rainbows, and how they help us remember God's promises, after which Ezra broke out in "Standing on the Promises," since I've been practicing that song quite a bit for an event last weekend.  I didn't know he knew that song, but after having it set on "repeat" in the CD player, I suppose it started to grow on him too. 


I helped him organize the chalk into a rainbow after he had his color groups finished.  Where does the brown one go?


He doesn't get it anywhere strange.  I organize things by colors, like dishes, and clothes, and colored pencils.  I wish I could say it stops there, but unfortunately it doesn't. I like color, and I like organizing. 

I once tried to help organize my mom's sewing room by organizing the fabrics by color, but I ended up messing up all the projects she had laid out.  I wish I could say it was when I was twelve, but it was just a few months ago.


He was very proud of his work, after which he threw them in a bucket, and dumped them into the swimming pool.


He isn't allowed to have them back until they dry out.  Since it is raining outside, it might be awhile.


I love these new BOLD chalk colors by crayola!  But not in the pool.

I just stumbled upon your blog and had to say hello. I also have three children, Ezra 9, Elliot 6, Lucia 4. Very interesting.

That is interesting! What is going to be EVEN CRAZIER is that our last girls name we had picked out was "Lucille" after my husband's grandma! Wow!

The other strange thing I failed to mention, was when we were discussing names for our third child, I told my husband several times that I really like the letter Z.
