See saw!

This was a birthday present from Granna and the kids have been DYING to play on it. I was heckled by kids and cats the whole time but after an hour these kids are see sawing. Hooray! Now Maggie can stop asking "Will you assemble the see saw?"

Princess Ballerina Bath

Maggie's bath was declared a princess ballerina bath. We pretended she was a princess ballerina and ended with her in princess ballerina pajamas and a "crown" we made of pipe cleaners. She tried it on and looked in the mirror and said "I just feel a little bit cute."



Then Hank had a turn making a robot helmet.

Self sufficient Hank

This boy just opened the car door, climbed in, buckled himself, and then closed the door behind him. Go Hank! Perfect timing too... It was raining and I really appreciated the help.

Even More Rock N Roll

James's facebook post from a few minutes ago:

"My boy did something at 4 that I didn't do until I was 20: take the mic at open mic night. He sang 4 refrains of Paradise City at Marilynn's Place."

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!
