The Past Few Weeks, Sort Of

So, I noticed my camera had not been downloaded in quite some time... there were so many pictures, in fact, that I have had to break them up into two groups!!!

We went to a superhero birthday... for two of our superhero friends!!!  Everyone got a cape and mask!!!

Including Smaug :)

We are still wearing our capes!  In this picture TW was showing me his balloon submarine... the straw is his periscope :)

We also discovered that we can fit 4 of the kids in one toy and spend 50 cents one time!

Smaug got shoes... a totally unnecessary but FUN splurge... and yes Grandpa C... they are camouflage :)

In math we talked about reading an analog scale... since we only have digital at home (and the doctors office), we practiced reading and weighing ourselves using the fish scale! (that's sorta punny... fish scale)!

We NEVER get Mr. E smiling in a picture, but he really thought the spinny thing in the car was great!  Our new dollar toy made it home and then was broken... but the smiles (and video we got) was totally worth a buck!

Our little toy stopped working... we discovered that being trained in electronics comes in handy!  Daddy saved the day and re-grounded our toy with his solder gun!!!

And Smaug is very happy that his toy is fixed!

We planned on a trip to New Orleans one weekend (which was moved back a week)... anyway, I pulled out the kids backpacks... they liked that :)

J "made me" eat out one evening... it was almost like a date... the kids played and we got to hang out just the two of us (and Smaug).

And then, Smaug sat in his first restaurant high chair!

This is how Daddy takes the kids to wash their hands after dinner... "Hands up!  Don't touch anything!"

We treated the kids to Krispy Kremes... TW could have watched the machine make donuts all day!

Pretty Girl did this... she told me everyone was eating breakfast too.

You can't tell, but Smaug was given (unbeknownst to me) a graham cracker, which he gummed and snaggle toothed to death, and loved, and screamed when I took it away :)

And so, to wrap up part 1 of the past few weeks, we grew some bacteria on homemade agar... it was gross... not sure if TW learned the importance of hand washing or not, but he was impressed!

In Other News:  In case you didn't hear, we will be moving to Jacksonville, FL next... very soon!
