Rock N Roll!

Hank got this awesome Phineas and Ferb guitar from Dude and Jaimee this Christmas. He noticed that it has the real knobs to attach a strap and he requested one with FLAMES. After a trip to Hobby Lobby yesterday, we were in business. With his and Maggie's "help" I whipped one up for him this morning. Check out those awesome rock n roll faces!

Big thanks to Alan Fraser for the genius idea for how to attach the strap -- no buttonholes! Hooray!

Hank's class Christmas party

His whole class sang and gave their parents gifts from the dollar tree then we all ate lunch in the cafeteria together. I got a coffee mug for my "tall caramel macchiatos" and James got those awesome googly glasses. Excellent choices Hank!

Dance open house

My goodness at all the cuteness! Maggie really did well at open house last week. The teacher used REAL dance terms and I was impressed at how much they knew. Then the whole family and Grandmama went out to eat for supper. Fun night!

Deck the halls

Finally got the tree up last week. The kids had a blast then the cats destroyed it. Oh well. No one seems to care too much so I'm just going with it :)

Back in glasses

Maggie had a followup appointment a couple of weeks ago and her lazy eye was pulling just slightly so he gave her a new prescription. Now she has to wear glasses full time again. She's adjusting well but that afternoon of the doctors appointment she was so tired she fell asleep at the dinner table despite our best efforts to keep her awake. She had to skip her nap for the appt then had about 4 suckers for being good during eye drops and such. She was a mess! But snored so sweetly at the table :) She actually slept about 12 hours straight. Poor boogar.

Score board

Hank made this at Granna's at thanksgiving to keep track of some loop-de-loop cars game he and Avery were playing. I was attempting to occupy him and said why don't you use the drawing board to keep score? I had no idea he would actually follow through so well!
