So...Yah...

 
This is what happens when you're supervising a project and lose focus. AB had to do an Indian project for school. The tribe she chose was the Algonquins.  Part of her project was to make a Wigwam house which (as we waited until the night before it was do to begin) is what I was working on while she was filling out her information packet. I'd given her my Ipad, and she was researching answers and running them by me before she wrote them down. As you can see, the question was where the Algonquins live & the answer was Michigan, New York & Canada. I had Annabelle look up a map of the US, and then locate both New York & Michigan and color them in separately. She of course, could not find Canada on the map & I explained it was because Canada is not part of the US, and it located above the US. I absent mindedly (with glue covered hands) pointed to the section above the US and said, "Canada is right up here".
 
Mistake. Hopefully her teacher will get a laugh as well.

Art in the Park

It has been a wonderfully rainy Saturday. We spent the majority of the day today holed up indoors in cozy clothes watching movies and trash TV. As a whole, it was blissful. Sure the kids were BORED ( I know, because they told me about 65 Bazillion times) but nothing beats a rainy afternoon movie marathon & an excuse to wear gym clothes all day long. Well...not much does anyway. Before the downpour started we ventured out to Art in the Park. Heaven was *so excited*. She loves art and was thrilled to have a chance to see "real" artwork and talk with some "real" artists ( I was a little offended she does not consider me a part of this "real" artist list...I mean, she's seen what I can do with some glitter glue). Mr. Eric Cobb was at the top of her list. He's been a Bestie of mine for years and is amazingly talented. If you're in the market for some palette knife artwork, you should check out his fabulousness  for yourself. Totally not the ...

Treaters

Here are the Branditos all ready to hit the streets trick or treating. We had a great time  & much to the kids pleasure came home with loads of candy. Of course their intake will be limited...but they haven't considered that just yet  (John already went through and claimed most of the kitkats) Gavin had trouble deciding exactly what he wanted to be this year. His top two picks, were Link from Zelda & a skeleton.  As you can see, in the end he decided on a skeleton. His costume was pretty cool & the bones were textured so you could feel them. The mask was short lived... thankfully... because honestly, it was a little scary... oh, and because it almost caused several accidents due to the limited visibility it provided. Heaven dressed as Abbey Bominable from Monster High. She's really into Monster High right now as I'm told it's very "cool" unfortunately her "cool" parents find most of the dolls a bit inappropriate, so really A...
