Red & Blue

I’m not even sure how, when or why this designation, if you will, in our family began……..

But for as long as I can now recall and in as many items as I can put my finger on,

IMG_9126-2  

Buck-a-roo is red

IMG_9125-2

and Frank-o is blue

from backpacks, lunchboxes, and tshirts

to swimsuits, beachtowels, and waterguns

IMG_9127-2

from Ipods, fishing nets, and tennis shoes

to toys, toothbrushes, to school supplies

If you look closely, you can even see our unintentional, almost now habitually action represented here

It works for us……..
