They were trying so hard to make him laugh...These brothers were too cute for words!

 

I kind of like it that the baby was crying...it gives a little sweetness as the 2 older brothers are looking at him trying to calm him down. :)

Just taking a break in the day from bunny pancakes and other fun while the baby naps to wish you all a happy easter. May it be filled smiles and children hyped up on waaayyy too much sugar.

 

Enjoy your cadberry eggs and jelly beans, anything we eat on Easter doesn't count, right?

Haven't been around much and probably won't be for awhile. Haven't even been taking many personal photos. nothing particularly bad, just busy with life. The girls are still not completely better which sucks for all involved.

 

Hope to catch back up with flickr soon.

Author: Sketchley, Arthur, 1817-1882

Title: Mrs. Brown on the Alabama Claims

Publisher: George Routledge and Son

Publication Date: 1872

URL: archive.org/details/02169810.2680.emory.edu

 

Description and Synopsis:

The cover depicts Mrs. Brown carrying a long list of “claims” and conversing with a seated man. As the title of the book suggests, the book portrays Mrs. Brown’s thoughts on the United States’ claims for damages against the British for their support of the Confederacy during the American Civil War.

 

Further Notes:

The character of Mrs. Brown first appeared in Routledge’s Annual in 1866 and became a frequent feature in Fun. Arthur Sketchley later devised a number of stories based on her adventures. Mrs. Brown was hugely popular in England, America, Australia, and India, and although the humor in the Mrs. Brown series is dated, the books’ contemporary popularity make them important cultural artifacts (Sadleir 58). The Mrs. Brown character may have been derived from Charles Dickens’ “Mrs. Gamp” from the novel Life and Adventures of Martin Chuzzlewit. Mrs. Brown is meant to be a lower-middle class woman, who speaks in dialect (Rogerson 10). Sketchley’s Mrs. Brown became so popular that the author gave public performances and went on a world tour in 1879 (10). It is also worth noting that Arthur Sketchley was the pseudonym of George Rose who was an ordained priest and Catholic convert (Rogerson 10).

My husband and I recently started a little LEGO contest to improve our building skills. Alternately each one of us sets a theme and both of us have to build a corresponding model.

Nobody to sit in them, I'll bet they're so lonely. Then again, the rocking chairs are from Cracker Barrel so I'm sure they've got some stories to tell...
