Friday Funny: Stuff My Kids Made That Make Me Smile

Spongebob --by my daughter.

Pants --by my son 
I think he was 3 when he made these. He used to make me pants daily by cutting out a rectangle from a piece of construction paper and then making a simple slit to make the legs.
I love the simplicity of these.

Here's a whole wardrobe of pants made by him.

I have to thank a fellow genealogy friend of mine who helped me out a couple of months ago, Nathaniel Glasgow. He brought to my attention a deed which documents the sale of about an acre land from a woman named Charity Ambrose  to the trustees of Mt. Olive AME Zion Church in Riverdale, NC.
