On the last week of summer before school started, each boy got to be King of the House for one day! They got to choose EVERYTHING for that day!
Ellis was first. He had absolutely no trouble assuming his role as king and telling everyone what to do!
Breakfast of choice: Cookie Crisp.
Morning entertainment: Woody Woodpecker.
Lunch: PB&J with grapes.
Method of transportation: Subway!
Outing: Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. Unexpected bonus: the U.S. Presidents room.
[I interrupt this list to tell you that I LOVE the next 10 pictures, I LOVE that my son chose the MFA as his outing, and I LOVE that my boys are crazy about art right now. It's insanely amazing and unexpected. I'm drinking it all in while it lasts!]
"Mom, aren't these pictures better than you thought?!?" (actual quotes from Ellis)
Thomas Jefferson!
"Mom, this painting is NOT very cute, huh?"
I had a little sticker book for the boys so they could try to find certain paintings in the museum. They found almost all of them, and really wanted to keep going when they closed the museum after we'd been there 3 hours.
"Mom, it's kind of fun to look at REAL paintings!"
Water Lilies!
When we got back on the subway and saw the cool 90's black-with-neon flooring, he said, "So . . . I guess Jackson Pollock painted this floor."
Dinner of choice: Muffin and juice (we met Ben at Harvard Square).
Does the King of the House get to sit on Dad's lap, even if Dad is already maxed out holding one very wiggly baby? Of course! He's the king.
And does he get to have chocolate cupcakes with sprinkles? And can he give a thumbs-down, just to be silly? And can he wear his crown from dawn to dusk? Yes, yes, and yes. That's what being King of the House is all about.

ADORABLE!!!!!!!!!
Oh Griff, those pictures in the museum touched my heart. Sometimes everything is just perfect. Especially when your 4 year old can identify famous artists' styles. Wowza.
