::more prizes::

20090616-IMG_1617
One of Max's recent prizes for a successful week of chore-doing was a set of large Nemo pens. Thank goodness for the dollar section of target, otherwise his chores would be much too expensive!
Anyway, he got right to work with them, and proceeded to go through most of my printer paper.

I can't help but post this one--all the others were good too, but this one was my favorite:

Translated it says:
Dear Mom, I love you (obviously there's some abbreviating going on here). Max for Mom.
The triangle with lines coming out of it is an airplane. (This is appropriate since we now live super close to the airport and have planes flying by our house all the time.)
The smiley person is me, and when I asked who the other guy was Max looked at me with surprise. It's him of course. And he said "Well, I DO look like a potato..."
Uh, yeah, he does. A sad potato at that. And if he looked like a sad potato in real life that'd be ok too. He's just too darn cute.

Well, he does come from the potato-head family, right? My hips, for example, are slightly reminiscent of two sacks of potatoes. And my hair is a little mashy. But even potatoes LOVE beautiful signs that are SO DARN COOL.

If I finally do my chores, will you send me a prize?

That is cute! Don't you love it when they write? BTW - you've probably also noticed that the jets from the air show this weekend have been practicing. We're just a 10 min walk to the beach - we go every year and watch the show (usually the Blue Angels, etc.) from there. I know you aren't far from us if you want to join us! :)

So cute! We got some foam Nemo stickers at the dollar spot too. FUN! Love the Nemo.

And for the record, Derek is TOTALLY jealous that you live next to the airport. We watch for planes at our house, but not with much luck! Ashley Hollister was nice enough to invite us to the Provo airport -- I gotta go and take my camera.

Oh my word. For cute! A potato?

My favorite is how matter-of-fact he was about it. "Well, I DO look like a potato . .. " Awesome.

Oh, I miss Max! Even in all of his potato-ness. :)
