This past week

the boys have been really into making their own weapons from dead tree branches...and so Ethan made a non-weapon for Laz since he is so small...he made him a fishing pole! Laz looks a bit freaked about the whole thing, though.






3 of the Boyz









Ethan and Pres...giving "the look"








Laz....sleeping through all the hammering at the Home Depot craft-making section. He obviously has 4 older brothers.







Tarin working hard.








my handsome Ethan.









Everyone with their completed pirate ships! The next day they got (without permission) all my Sharpie markers and painted the ships and the sails BLACK. the whole house smelled like Sharpie. We were high all day.










Kell-O

Ethan has developed a love for reading. YEAH!!!!!! I am overjoyed...being one that reads everything all the time...to see my son enjoying a good book. Here he is reading a Narnia ("suburbia" if you ask Tarin) book first thing in the morning. He never came down for breakfast so I went up to check on him. he had woken up and just HAD to finish the book. Mean ole mom had forced him to go to bed the night before at the last chapter.






Pres in his cowboy suit and snow boots :)

Yesterday it was 80 degrees and we ran the air conditioner and wore shorts.
Today it is snowing.
