Paper, Strings and Sculpey Things

Put my son in a room full of paper, markers, tape, strings and sculpey and he would be in HEAVEN!! This is what he would do all day & all night long if he didn't have to stop to eat and sleep.

Lord Farquad Here and There

When my brother was serving in the Navy, he and his roommate bought a knight, named him Lord Farquad and had him standing guard outside their apartment. It was stolen. They found it later a few miles away hanging from a tree. They untied him and brought him back to their place only to have it stolen again for good.

After my brother finished his service in the Navy he settled down and got married. One day my brother was shopping with his in-laws at Hobby Lobby. There, he saw his long-lost Lord Farquad. Excitedly, he told his in-laws all about the knight he used to have and how this one looked just like it. His in-laws surprised him and bought him this one for Christmas.
When I stayed at my brother's house in Texas this knight stood at the foot of the bed. (Kinda spooky in the dark.) It made me laugh because it reminded me of the knight my kids have at their school. Only slightly different, it's Lord Farquad 2!!! :)

Sculpey

My youngest son's new favorite thing is Sculpey. He's showing me his snowplow he made. This stuff keeps him busy for hours. Plus it's very affordable. Love it!

Snowman

This is a snowman my kids built all by themselves. I love what they did with his hair!

A Little Song and Dance

A couple of years ago I tried putting my 3 oldest children in choir. I soon discovered that the boys were not interested at all. My daughter loved it though. This year my daughter is in dance and choir. She doesn't perform for us at home much but I often hear her singing in the shower.

Goofy Girl

My 3yr old fell asleep with these safety goggles on. I don't know where she got them or why she was wearing them? I had to get a picture though.

I'm not sure if she put herself in the basket or if she was stuffed in there by her older siblings? Either way she looks happy enough.

Cute and Cuddly

Burrow (that's what my son named his snake) is now six months old. He has a few more feet to grow before he's fully grown. He'll stay skinny and won't ever be as thick as a ball python but he'll get to about 5ft long. I must admit that corn snakes make very great pets! We only have to feed him once a week, he hardly ever poops and he is very, very tame.
