The Great Dusting of 2020

Hey, we'll work with whatever we can get down here.

Board Games

Keira and Kassidy designed some board games for us to play.

Keira's game is based on 'Little Women', and comes with hand crafted game pieces and trivia questions from the book.

 

 Kassidy's game includes a multiplication table, even though there is no multiplication required, and is themed on vehicles (of course). 

Throw in some rock/paper/scissors action and a bunch of weirdo rules and you get a unique Kassidy experience!

Some scenes from Keira's room.

Natahali

Here is the first paragraph of a new book that Keira is working on. It is called "Natahali". 

She also made a really cool diorama of the forest yesterday.

Once upon a time in a faraway world, where no human could ever find, there was a village. This village had no fancy houses or castles, instead it had houses dug into trees and dugouts. On a cold October morning in a little wood house a boy was born. His name was Jesper.  Jesper had no idea that he was going to be important one day so he did what every toadstool boy does, climb trees. Jesper had learned to climb trees at age 5 and he learned the best spots to pick huckleberries. Huckleberries are poisonous to humans but for the toadstool people you can make anything out of them.

Pieces

The work/soccer/dance insanity starts back up again next week, so Iria and I still have some time to finish up some projects. Iria just started a 3000 piece puzzle, and I am finishing up a 4000 piece Lego building set.

B & W

Katharine was playing around on her phone late last night, which resulted in some cool portraits.

Our girl is growing up!

 

 

A Very Frousin New Years Eve

We spent New Year's Eve at the Martels. 

Here are some random pics that I took throughout the evening. 

Some notable events:

1. The 1st Annual Bendy Awards

2. Katharine's first drink of alcohol/champagne

3. More Keira and Kate productions

4. The smell of nail polish

And the usual fun and games :)
