SLEEMAN

lost in an immaginary world, and content to be so.
adessa singing happy sonets to her new pony
jexten making truck sound effects. it was all pretty humorous.

adessa got a new toy too. she was not too enthused about posing for the camera, she was, however, INCREADIBLY enthused about PLAYING with her new strawberry shortcake pony!
jexten had to get down because he had just attempted to body slam grandpa mel. not good.
jexten filling grandpa in on the story of his life, with all it's highs and lows! it was quite entertaining.

jexten wasn't interested in the clothes, but i sure was!!

completely engrossed in his new truck

oooo! "a supa.... dupa RAKE CAR!!!!"
look inside, jexten! what did you get?
i think i will lay this flat wrapped thing(card) over here.
look, there is a sack, and it has another wrapped thing in it. so what. jexten gets some more help from grandpa mel!

jexten is still getting the hang of the present thing, so it's a good thing that he has such a helpful sister!
like matthew, adessa is very eager to tell everyone the news about matthew's most recent "owie". jexten figured he'd get in on the action, but with him, it's always a joke. jexten LOVES to tell "knock, knock" jokes. he picked this one up from his sister: "knock, knock." "whose there?" "banana." "banana who?" then the joke repeats a couple of times and finally when you ask"whose there(quite annoyed)" she says "orange" and then you are so relieved that she has picked a different fruit you go along with it and say "orange who". that's when you get the punch line "orange you glad i didn't say banana?" then they both break into wild laughter like it is simply the funniest thing you have ever heard!! well, adessa, being the way she is, lives for play on words. jexten has picked up on this and randomly inserts strange things into his knock knock(which by the way, when he says knock knock, he usually either bops his head on your leg or something close by, or bobbs it to the side) joke. like one time, he said banana pudding, or another time he said banana poop. you can guess where he got that from. ADESSA! i have heard this same joke so many times that it is actually hillarious to me when they insert random things throughout the joke, that make absolutely no sence whatsoever! sometimes, i feel like Alice in Wonderland!! and yes, i am mildly insane. aren't we all?
