Homecoming Week

-
This week was homecoming week for Dustin's high school.  It's fun to hear about the fun things the kids are doing at school, but what we look forward to most is the shopping cart parade.  The kids look forward to it all year, mostly because they throw out candy to the crowd.  We got a pretty good candy haul this year and are nicely primed for Halloween and it's orgy of candy next month.  Yea!

Waiting for the High School Homecoming parade to start (mostly waiting to collect candy).
Dustin walking with his High School FIRST robotics team and their winning robot.  Go team 118!
Making Lava Lamps at the Helen Hall Library.  Very fun!  We love library programs!
Maeve practicing her dance positions while watching cartoons.  She loves TV.
Maeve is starting to show an interest in my yarn.  I can't keep her out of my yarn box.  She always goes for this particular spool of canary yellow.  I think she loves its cheerful, bright color.  I bet I have a budding crocheter on my hands!  Why not?  I mean, look at her fashion sense.  That has to say something about her future crocheting ability, right?  :)

The kids and I have been working hard to keep our driveway and the driveways of some of our elder neighbors cleared after all of this wonderful snowfall.  It's been a fun wintertime treat.  The ward to the child who shoveled the most for this storm goes to Rebekah!  She's a pretty awesome snow shoveler despite her preferenc...

Xavier is getting down to work on this year's science fair project.  He's testing to see which oil is best for popping popcorn.  It's important science. John and Diana are enjoying playtime inside boxes, because boxes are the best, of course! John is starting to have fun playdates with friends from the neighborhood.  It's so fun to find good friends who share a love in all things Paw Patrol!
