Cosmic Bowling

We took some cub scouts bowling and I am learning that I am not a fan of the "cosmic bowling"... the kids like it, but the crazy lights are annoying.

Since it was dark, this kid thought it was cool to kiss his reflection of the un-used touch screen.  We won't talk about how many germs are on it.

The boys - having fun.

And then there is Munchkin, she barely has the strength and the ball takes forever to get to the end of the lane, but she loves it.

Reading - more

We have a new reader in the house, and I love finding her curled up on the couch with a book.

 This child is usually on the other end of the couch.

 Daddy was trying to read too, but I think there are some other boys under that quilt.

 And then this little one found his sisters library book.  It was all about how to build things with Lego's.  He read it for a long time and then was mad when I made him stop.  He loves this book and any book about fire engines.  Fire engines are his new obsession.

 This is her attitude about her spelling homework.

Misc. Creations

This is just for my record, so I can remember some of what I made lately.

A candy bag for Munchkin

 My scrap quilt - now hanging on the wall of my cubicle.

 A Candy bag for Buddy - complete with fusible fleece letter and star.  With clip and strap to clip on the lacrosse stick.

Halloween 2013

Ready to hand out the candy.

 Trick or treating with some friends.

 Most of the crew -Elmo, Jasmine, Candy Corn, Flintstone, Ninja and Duck

 He ran everywhere and did not want to be left behind, he knew there was candy going in his pumpkin.

 Lots of candy.

 And Buddy finally let me take a picture of his whole costume. He looked great. and his treat bag clipped to his stick.

Pumpkin Carving - 2013

Yeah, I know it is late to be blogging about Halloween stuff, but that is just how life goes lately. We did carve pumpkins and I let the kids do all their own cutting this year.  They are learning and a few pumpkins didn't get lit because the holes in the top were too small to pull the insides out.

Here is my pumpkin.

 This is Buddy's pumpkin, still with guts - he likes it that way.

 This is Munchkins pumpkin and I helped her cut most of it.

 This is Buddy's other pumpkin, just a mouth spewing guts.

 Lit up for the big night.

I have no idea why I am missing a picture of Princesses pumpkin.  Some days are a little more hectic than others.
