Last Sunday Lee and I slept in and a vaguely remember hearing the tugging and dragging of something big and the voices of two boys working on something that started in the garage and ended up in the living room. I should have been more concerned, but I wasn't.
It turned out they had dragged in the hot water tank box and were making a tank. When I finally checked on them they had a kitchen knife and had already created a few holes around it. I had to admire their hard work! They asked if I would help cut a few more. (No, I was not concerned about the knife. They had it under control.) Amy woke up and their creation was complete. I LOVED watching their imagination at work.
They used a plastic milk carton as a spy glass (that doubled as a machine gun), they cut a hole through a smaller box and taped it to the top at the top part of the tank and drew all sorts of things inside. They had a blast.
(This is a video conference call with General Ping Ching from China)
They played with it all day.
Last Sunday a lady in our ward asked if Amy and I would come over and make a treat with her neighbors. She has 3 dogs, so Amy was in heaven.
Sherry and I "stole" some plants from a friends house. She called me and basically said, "Grab a shovel, I'm picking you up." And I did, no questions asked!
Going along with the imagination thing, Tyler and this random kid worked hard on a ramp during Will's soccer practice. They were really cute rolling big logs around, putting everything in the right place, trying it out, only for it to fall and then adjusting things and trying again. I love it when kids "invent" things!
Just a moment I want to remember, "No, no, Mama! No, no!" Amy and I watched the cutest kid do this to him mom on Sunday and we died laughing. We've been doing it to each other all week.
In the garden- I bought strawberries! and built a teepee for sunflowers and cucumber.
My activity day girls made a birthday card for our bishop using candy bars. Then we made these pretty tissue paper flowers for them to hang in their bedrooms. They are such cute girls.
I planted another tray of seeds. (sigh, I'm obsessed!)
General Conference was this weekend. That's where we watch our prophet and other church leaders broadcast from Salt Lake. It's nice to have a Sunday where we stay in our jammies. :) Will created a list of things to do. One of them was to set up a tent for the kids to watch conference in. We also had some yummy treats, of course!
Will also wanted to make a puppet. He did great with the hot glue gun and creating his character.
I make crepes every Sunday, it's become a yummy tradition.
Amy worked on the leftover tissue paper flowers.
Tyler hasn't been feeling well this weekend. He stayed home from school on Friday with a fever and a sore throat. He's finally feeling a tad better.
And Amy is just a goof ball.
Have a good week!
