You are louder than a butterfly on my eye...

James didn't end up having work again today and I'm trying to find as many fun family activities as I can, to make the most of the time we have together. So we went into San Francisco, to see the 'Tall Ships".

This week is the Festival of Sail so there are tall ships from all around the world. Of course, by the time we'd let Asia have her first nap, all had a quick bite of lunch and managed to get out of the house, we were well into the afternoon, but that's OK, that's how life is these days for us. Arran especially, was very excited and really wanted to go on the ships, but he was disappointed that we weren't actually going to get to sail away. He really wants to go on a boat, so one of these days we're going to take the ferry across to the city.

Speaking of Arran, he has this one sweater that is a hand-me-down from his cousin (as are most of his clothes), that he just loves. I think it's a little dated looking and doesn't really go with much of anything else he wears, but he insists on wearing it. He looks like my little ragamuffin boy when he has it on, but that just adds to his charm. His sandals and sun visor complete the look.

Oh and 'You are louder than a butterfly on my eye' is a line from a song he made up today. I really wonder what is going through his head sometimes and love to see how his imagination has taken off in the last year or so. Unfortunately I didn't get to hear the whole song, but James mentioned it as we were driving and listening to him singing another song he was in the process of creating. James thinks he might steal that line for a song of his own! I love it.
