Broken Arms and Warm Hearts

Our very good friend (and neighbor) Camille fell off the swings at school yesterday and broke her wrist!

Ouch!

On the way home from school I let the boys know about Cami's accident. Wylie has always been kind of sweet on Camille. She is two years or so younger than the boys, but Wylie and she share a common love of....Chowder, Flapjack, Sponge Bob, and miniature toys.

So, as I broke the news, the very first thing Wylie said was "Can I help her, Mom?"

To his credit, Campbell is typically very chivalrous as well. But, Wylie was first to immediately show empathy and compassion. He truly wanted to do something to help her. I'm sure he'll have ample opportunities in the coming weeks.

In the meantime, Team Harris is off this afternoon to La Jolla for the annual Rough Water Swim for Tim. This is a highlight every year for us as a family. La Jolla is gorgeous! We stay at a hotel that is within walking distance from everything. It will be refreshing.

What Do You After Conquering the Galaxy?

My clones (boys) have been playing "STAR WARS BATTLEFRONT II" this summer.

Yesterday, after a fairly lengthy stretch of the game where there was much collaboration, talking, battling, and surviving....the Republic and the Rebels battled fearlessly. I heard them exclaim together:

"We did it! We conquered the galaxy!" and there was much rejoicing and high-fives and woo-hoos followed by

"Now, what do you want to do, Wylie?" and then

"I don't know"..."Do you want to go upstairs and watch Sponge Bob?"

"Sure".

And, they went upstairs.

There's nothing like a little Sponge Bob Square Pants to top off a glorious victory on the field of inter-galactical battle...
