Mardi Gras Floats


Chapin has to make a Mardi Gras float from a shoe box for a school project. I decide it would go much smoother if Emory had a box to paint and glue also. I kept reminding Emory not to touch Chapin's box and they we only work on our own box. At some point I touched Emory's box and he told me to get my own box. Stayed tuned for more float progress.

Big boy - going to school



You know your tired when:


zoo





The zoo has an amazing new playground. We met our friends there to play last weekend. The big kids don't get to see each other often since they are in school so they really had fun being together.

Sound of the letter F


Chapin's class a party Friday afternoon to celebrate the sound of the letter F. I had to send him some fabulous funny footwear to wear so they could parade around school. They also feasted on fudge pops. Chapin said it was great. Check out his funny feathered, football, frog and fish shoes.

DISNEY!!

The Disney photos have finally been added to the blog. We took about 800 so it took some time to sort them all out.

We told the kids we were going Christmas morning while we were watching the Disney Christmas Parade. Chapin was sooooooo excited.

We had a great trip. Emory did better than I would have every expected. He warmed up to the characters quick. He asks every morning now -- "I go to Disney World today?" Chapin wants us to go back for his birthday (in April).

On the way to Disney!


We stopped in Tallahassee on the way.
