Spidey Goes to KDO

Spiderman has infected our house! The boys' (used) Halloween costumes came in the mail and they wear them almost daily! Green Goblin . . . Beware!












Littlest Spiderman will start two hours a week at KDO next week and got to meet his teacher, Mrs. Sambo, last week for a practice run! Mrs. Sambo taught Frankie last year so we know Henry's in good hands.
















Frankie will go two mornings a week although he'd rather just spend all of his time at speech class with his "best girl, Ms. Jackie"!

"Tiny Tim"

Henry fell two weeks ago and hurt his leg. One ER visit, two separate rounds of x-rays, and six days of refusing to walk all for a sprained ankle! He still has a nasty limp but he's managing well and Mom's super happy to be done carrying him around!

Traveling Wonkas

Two weekends in a row we went out of town and we're glad to stay put today!

Our first trip was to Wichita. Frank helped Mike move into an apartment while Lexi snuggled with his dogs!















The next weekend we visited great friends in Columbus, KS. Feeding chickens, riding horses, and playing with the baby farm cats topped Lexi's list of fun!

Nailed It!

As a parent, we try to plan activities our kids will love. We build it up in my mind and, oftentimes, it's not all that we'd dreamed.

But, sometimes, we nail it!















On the hottest day yet, the kids & I went with a neighbor family to the movie theater! Oh yes, we watched a show on the "biggest TV ever"! The boys had never been before and Henry was so entranced with the previews he walked into a wall! Add popcorn to the mix and it was one of the best days of the summer!
