Brother Sister Book



In the car one night recently, we heard the kids talking about making Brother-Sister Books. The books were going to include pages about each of their favorite things in different categories (favorite color, favorite animal, favorite food, etc.). They planned it all out and over the next two days they diligently worked on them in their "office" - a sheet draped over some boxes we've not unpacked yet... (Yet, yeah right. How about never will). I was amazed when I saw the finished products. Each book has their own favorite things along with the other's favorite things. For example, Johnny Mac's book has a page all about his favorite animal, the frog, as well as a page all about Dixie's favorite animal, the bunny. (You can see their drawings of each of these animals on the covers).

Their relationship is such a blessing to me. Sometimes they fight and drive me crazy, of course, but a lot of the time they are really precious with each other. They were so sweet working on these books together.
