At our local Bealls store, I found all these orange ties for forty cents each so I bought one for each boy. They were the odd square bottom ties that I guess no one else wanted but I thought they were cute. Declan is sporting his new briefcase (metal chess case) that he bought at the thrift store in Tucson. Declan is more fun to take to the thrift store than some of my other kids because he actually looks for things to buy instead of acting like he is being tortured (not naming names). Thrift store shopping can be a learned art as those unaccustomed to it can be overwhelmed by the amount of random stuff thrown together haphazardly. You have to sift through a bit to find the treasures.
Archy was in a funky dance mood and kept being silly and dancing while we were trying to take a photo after church. I guess that is better than his usual grumpy, sullen, rebellious, refuse-to-smile self.

Almost there with all smiles
Half smiling
Well four of five is about as good as it will get this time
Maybe manic Archy is a secret weapon to getting everyone to smile. You should see his dance moves! It would make you smile too.
