Happenings

Daniel Tiger came to visit the library story time and Sport worked up the nerve to give him and his giant head a hug.  Sis was buried in my legs while I took this picture.  I didn't blame her.

This picture serves dual functions.  Colt is wearing his rainbow outfit which ended 8 days of wearing a specific color to Kindergarten.  It was fun!  Also, behind Colt is the name train Sport did during our "preschool".

The boys built a fort on the bottom bunk and moved in for the day.  They hauled in all the necessities, like a computer and lots of snacks. 

One Sunday afternoon, while Brandan and I were contemplating the solemnities of eternity (napping), the kids set up a restaurant for us, complete with "candlelight".  They gave us menus and served our dinner with minimal spills.  And I only had to share a few bites of my salad with Sport the waiter. 

The menu from the Kids Cafe had two meal options, a PB&J sandwich with an apple, or a salad and cheese stick.  There were also two dessert options, a Poptart or chocolate chips.  Fancy!

The weather was beautiful for the Homecoming Parade this year.  And the boys knew right how to work the system.  Why bother with gathering candy off the ground when you can reach right into the sack of one of the parade participants who happens to be a close relative?

Sissy is also a quick learner.

Sport and Sissy admiring the tarantulas at the Spider Story hour at the library.  I kept my distance like anyone sane would do. 

So Dash is a Cub Scout now.  I can't believe this day is here.  We had our first pack meeting earlier this month and I only threw a small fit while trying (and failing) to sew on his patches.
