The Adventures of Deryk

This picture says it all. Deryk is so full of sneaky, interesting ideas and experiments lately. Every time I turn around there is another "mess". He is a little tornado that never stops. It's no wonder I'm wanting to go to bed at 8:00 every night. (I wouldn't trade it for anything) :)


Josh found a frog in our driveway and brought it in for me the other night. (I just love frogs! Something about them are adorable to me.) We put it in a jar so the kids could see it the next day. Deryk wanted to play with it, so we let it out in the back yard. He spent an hour trying to catch the frog and gave up. Cute!



I ran upstairs to check email for a minute and came down to Deryk making a "tomato and banana soup". That's what he called it. He had climbed onto the counter with a big bowl, put the bananas I had ready for banana bread and the 8 tomatoes from our garden and mashed them all together with some tongs. He was very serious about it. Thankfully I managed to divert his attention later on so we didn't have to eat any of it.

  1. Haha, I love that soup. Very clever. He and Shaylee can write a cookbook together. Maycee's cake is cute! Making Berok for dinner tonight- thanks for the tips

  2. Man, Easton and Deryk would be a wild combination! That is totally something he would do right now. What a great soup idea! He's so cute! Cute school pictures and cake, too! I love how the clothes are displayed on grama's walker:)

  3. Oh Deryk and Benson could you even imagine what a duo that would be! So glad to hear that it isn't just my little hoolagan! Must be the age? Or is it just a boy thing? Whatever it is, I HEAR YA! On the same hand there are days when I think to myself that three might be my favorite stage...usually a short lived thought, but a thought non-the less!
    I would love to have a play date, aside from nursery! Please feel free to bring Deryk over anytime you need to run some errands. I would be happy to have him have some boy time with Benson.
