"Bubblegum, bubblegum..."







Much time was spent creating the costumes. Much fun was had by the children wearing the costumes. I couldn't stop staring at them. Sometimes I still can't believe they're mine. Really?

Jonas makes a very exuberant Nacho Libre. And Lucy's princess dress was complied of any fabric Mom and I could find in her stash. (Does the material look familiar to anyone?) I think she looks like a little Spanish princess. All she needs is a fan.

Life here is the same. Trav has been home for almost two weeks which has been delightful. We miss him dreadfully when he's in the woods. He leaves again tomorrow for just a few days there.

I feel like we are the most eclectic homeschoolers ever. We have fun, but nothing is ever the same routine. I struggle with routine. But kids are absolute sponges, and at least, they are learning.

Missing Katrina's wedding was tough. My Gran was supposed to come visit that weekend but didn't. (She'll come in November instead.) Last minute plane tickets weren't an option regrettably. It has been so lovely to see pictures of the wedding.

oh my goodness. Jonas and Lucy are off the charts adorable. I much prefer Jonas as Nacho Libre over Jack Black.

That's your prom dress, yes? Wow to the costumes, as usual. You and your Mom are an incredible team. And the kids are heart-squeezingly cute. And we miss you guys.

I was actually thinking of Jonas when I posted the squirrel pictures. Hugs.

Those costumes are awesome! I laughed for nearly five minutes after seeing the poster of Jonas.

By the way, don't worry Katrina's wedding was over rated. You didn't miss anything (j/k).

We miss you guys too. I tried to stop by when I was in California last week but when I called no one answered... Thats ok though, the 12 hour drive probably would have been too much.
