Sewing Queens

These girls have been obsessed with sewing ever since we did the "weekend of the piggies." And Sophie wanted to sew a penguin. So we made it up as we went......

 and Voila! Penguin

Relaxing at the park

Well, some of us relaxed. 

For the WWII class I teach in our commonwealth, I took the boys to the park to run around with a 50lb. pack- over tables, weaving around trees, circling a pavilion, dodging kids, & going under a bridge. It was entertaining. This is Austin's happy face, right? 

I lounged in the grass & helped Sophie into trees.

Cone of shame

George wouldn't stop licking a sore on his foot, so it got an infection & now he has to wear the cone of shame so it will get better. 

Everyone is laughing at poor George. 

 

A hiking we will go

Attentive audience

Our microwave died.

We lived without it for a week.

It was replaced to much cheering.

Yee-Haw!

While Kurt & Nyah were on their road trip, the rest of us took a day trip to Logan to see my sisters & their families. It was a beautiful (and cold) day and we had tons of fun.

Oink oink

What am I supposed to do with 30+ pictures of the piggies on my phone? 

Artsy Girls

I love my creative girls! I love their art style and passion and messes. Ok, maybe not the messes exactly, but I love how they aren't afraid to get messy. 

Acrylic paints: Sophie's are the 3 in the column on the right. Jolie's are the 2 in the middle of the bottom row. Olivia did the rest.

Chalk pastels: inspired by The Lorax.

Markers: plans for our garden this year

Where is tall man?

Where is tall man?

Here I am.

Here I am.

How are you today sir?

I'm sick with an infection and it's causing intense pain and I must be taken to the hospital so I can get some shots and a needle shoved up my skin to relieve the pressure. 

And I will act loopy and jittery and make my mom & the doctor worry I'm going to faint when really I just guzzled a Dr. Pepper and I'm on a caffeine high.

Oy. Kids.

Road Trip: Kurt & Nyah

Field Tripping Fun

Austin & Nyah went on a field trip with one of their classes:

So my little girls and I did a field trip too:

Favorite activities

Sophie & her army of lego guards on their horses.

Jolie & her horse farm on minecraft.

Olivia's cool selfie.

What?

Sewing sewing sewing piggies

This will always be remembered as the "Weekend of the Piggies." They just kept making more and more and more and more......
