We are finally getting back into things around here. The kids are back to school, I am back to work. Big Shawn was suppose to go out of town for work yesterday, but that ended up to being pushed back until probably next week sometime. He was quite glad.
We are in quite a bit of a cold spell here. Today had a high of 26, that doesn't include the wind chill. Tonight they are forecasting a high of 11, also without the wind chill. All I have to say is thank goodness for heated mattress pads.
Now for my second photo. This is Little Shawn or Shawn Jr. He is our 8 year old. He is in third grade. Sometimes he is a smaller version of myself..and others he is a smaller version of his dad. Shawn is getting to the age where one could not be caught dead wearing underwear that had cartoon characters or super heroes on them. Not to mention, doesn't wear underwear, he wears boxers. He would rather miss school than show up late. He loves to play video games, and draw on the school bus home. He doesn't mind having his photo taken as long as he is not sitting on the cough in his boxers. If he is in the mood, he will even pose for me. He does smile in most of his photos. There are some where he is doing an impression of a favorite wrestler. And others like this one, he is just being serious.
Shawn also has had the nickname of blue eyes since he was enrolled in day care at 6 months old. Shawn is also my sensitive one. On days that he senses I or his dad has had a bad day, he will do something unexpected and thoughtful for you.
But what some people don't realize is that Shawn was born with two different color eyelashes. As you can see by the black and white photo, his right side is darker than his left. His left is real close to being white. For whatever reason, he was born this way. He is my sweetheart!
