Silas' Kind of Fun

Silas is one funny boy!  He is creative and really likes playing with toys like Legos and Play Mobil "men."  He also loves all of his brothers.  And we never know what he will do next.  Here are a few pictures to illustrate:

I made this one extra big so you could see the paint all over the him.  Micah was painting and Silas wanted to paint too.  I asked Abby to sit with him and help him because he had never painted like that before.  A few minutes later I saw Abby in the hall and asked if Silas was finished already.  I went to check on him and this is what I found :)  He had more paint on himself and the ground than on the wood he was painting!

Keenan and I were working on reading one morning a month or so ago and  Nathanael was sitting in the play room with Silas.  I looked up to see Nathanael surrounded by all these blankets and pillows and stuff.  I asked Silas about it and he told me he was making a nest for his brother and giving him toys to play with.  Funny!  And Nathanael was as happy as he could be in his "nest."

Sorry for the sideways picture.  I don't know why the blog does this sometimes.  It is too much trouble to fix it so you will just have to turn your head :)  Here is a close-up of the "bird" in his "nest."
