Tools

I had to laugh the other day when the piano teacher asked if I had a saw.  Really?  You might need to be a bit more specific.  Here's what I made with one of my saw's the other day.  No, it's not a child mover-it's an outdoor toy box.  It's the first time I've used a hinge.  Thankfully, after the first 2 screws, Henry did all of the rest.  Samuel helped me put together the top.

Festival of the Masters

Each year there is an outdoor art festival at Downtown Disney.  They have a bunch of booths of stuff for sale.  They also have lots of free crafts and activities for the kids.  We went last year without Ben.  This year we took him along.  It was a lot of fun.

Finally finished-Samuel and Henry's

Each child did a small Lego plate.  They were color coded and they had to put Lego's on that were the correct color, then that was added to another mural.

Dad made William a mustache!  So cute.

More Lego's

We love Lego's, can you tell?

Paying Bills

Today I am thankful for Ben's job.  I paid all of the bills without dipping into savings.  That is an awesome feeling-trust me!

Some fun at the mall

Henry wanted to be a black Angry Bird for Halloween.  All he wanted was a shirt with a picture on it.  So, Sadie, William and I headed to the mall.

Ft. Lauderdale

Last month Ben drove a car to Dallas for some friends of ours.  He flew back into Ft. Lauderdale so that we could get some Primanti Bros. sandwiches.  I pulled the kids out of school early that friday and headed south.  We spent a couple of hours at the beach, wandered around the little beach town, and got some fudge before heading out to pick up Ben.  It was a beautiful day.
