Great Explorations

It is afternoon, and all is quiet in the land of Hopkins.

It's a strange sort of quiet - a quiet that usually involves spilled paint on carpets and scaling mattresses to swing from curtain rods (approximately 92% of the time).

But not today. Today, the Source of the Quiet comes from....

Can it be? No, surely not.

It appears the Source of the Quiet comes from none other than a typically loud, often found yelling and fighting and calling her sister names, Little Girl (loudis girlis).

But wait! That's no ordinary Little Girl... No, that's ...

... Let's zoom closer...

That's a Mini-Writer Girl, hard at work on a Very Important Project.

Quiet, now. Be very still. It looks as if the Mini-Writer Girl is going to act.

Her head is turning... she's...

Firing her Evil Death Stare!

And wait - she's going to speak.

"Mom, please can you stop?"

Um. Yeah. Okay.

*walks off*

xoxo,

  3. So cute! Aren't the little ones funny :) I hope that's my house this weekend. Caleb is staring this mini "nano-novel" based on a nightmare he had earlier this week. It's called "Attack of the Killer Teenies". He's such a goof. Enjoy your weekend!

  4. OMG, that is the most evil of evil eyes you got. Serious ojos. That's what you get for interrupting serious writing in progress and I suspect that's a look you give when you are doing the same :P
