Happy Birthday, Mom!

We took some cute pictures for you yesterday to get your birthday off to a good start.

Talk to you later.

Light board fun

Katharine got interested in my lightboard over the weekend, so now she is pulling all of these coloring book pages out and tracing them.

Wonder Woman

Wonder Woman's secret mermaid identity (note that her earings disguise themselves by going black),,,



Wonder Woman with her magic lasso.

Katharine saw me drawing Wonder Woman over the weekend. She has always liked the character, but this sparked renewed interest.

First we had to go on YouTube and hunt down some Wonder Woman "movies". A couple of Linda Carter clips were found. Then she wanted to see Superman and Wonder Woman together, so I pulled out a Justice League comic. All the while, Lukas was tagging along and jumping in with a "SoopaMa!" whenever he saw Superman. After she drew the picture she grabbed my Wonder Woman toy/figurine and we sat down and played some rescues for a while.

Texas Snow

We were awakened on Saturday morning to what sounded like our roof being smashed in from a hail storm. The roof survived, but my car that I park in the driveway was certainly pelted :(

The kids got to hold an iceball inside until it melted in their hands. With no snow this year, they will take anything that they can get.

Oh boy,,,,, (or girl)

The American Doll gets a riding outfit

Katharine cashed in her remaining birthday checks and emptied her piggy bank to deck out her doll in the latest riding fashions. Katharine has taken really good care of her and does a good job at keeping Lukas out of striking distance.

Batting and motoring

Katharine is a good hitter.



She can also be pretty intimidating when she stares down a pitch.



Lukas loves to cruise the streets on his bike. By the look of him, you wouldn't want to be in his path either.

The jolly jumper

I think that is the name of the seat, but it certainly applies to Lennon as well.

Just another Saturday,,

Birthday party'ing.


Play dough.



Maya.

Dancing.

Crashing.

Swinging.

Sleeping.

Prelude to embarrassment (10 years or so from now)

A wrap-around story

Katharine wrote this while Dad was visiting. The story wraps around the corner of the wall, so I had to paste the two photos together.
