Wednesday: block party at church

We went to the block party at church tonight.  There was a bounce race, a bounce water slide, a dunk tank, and food.  We mainly went because there was food.

Also, I fed the worms today.  Two bins are doing ok but have fruit flies.  The third bin is doing amazing!  It's like a worm infestation!

Tuesday: this and that

I feel like I actually got a few things done today.  It was partially because the kids got out the nerf guns.  It started with just trying to hit targets, but then they realized it didn't hurt so they were trying to shoot each other.

I also probably felt like I got stuff done today because I only played one game.  This is down from my 2-3 game daily average.

Monday: song

It was an excellent and busy day and I hadn't actually been planning on blogging about it.  But then I remembered.  My children made me make up words to songs.  I was rather proud of one of the results.  

*Sung to the tune of Head, shoulders knees and toes.

Do-nuts go in mouths not toes.
Mouths not toes, mouths not toes.
Do-nuts go in mouths not toes, 
But you smell them with your nose.

Sunday: more games

We played several more games today.  And cleaned the basement.  It really needed it.

Isaac (and Giraffe) enjoyed playing with the blanket right before bedtime. 

As a completely random aside, I really wish that county and country weren't spelled almost the same and both refer to an area of land in which one resides.  Slowing down to inspect the word to make sure I'm giving the correct answer is annoying.

Saturday: home

 Ben and Isaac worked with some electronics to work on some lights that he got for his birthday.

Tornado was living his best life.

Friday: cats

 Both cats managed to sit in the dryer, one at a time, so I couldn't close the door.

Thursday: puzzle

My idea was to do a puzzle with Joshua while Isaac was at camp today.  He decided we should print a picture, cut it up, and do it.  I said that sounds like a terrible idea.  Printer paper doesn't jigsaw well and it always gets blown around.

Joshua was adamant.

I was adamant.

He decided he'd draw the picture.  Ok.  I'll do that.

Here's the picture.  It has a lot of detail, so that was good.  His LEGO spinners are battling, a cat is jumping at birthday decorations, and a person is throwing a ball.  There's also our coats, counter, and a chair.

Here's the finished product.  He added a LEGO frame, which actually did help the whole thing.  He did also blow on it several times which was annoying, but they were tiny blows.

Overall, a successful project that I have no desire to repeat.
