I haven’t forgotten about my goal to post pictures, and I haven’t fallen of the face of the planet… but I have been having some technical issues. And along with that, we haven’t been home much. We’ve been spending our time gallivanting around town, hanging out at parks and friends’ houses.

Today was no exception – but we did make time in the morning for hanging out and creating as a family.

Chava stayed inside, working on her project. She had very specific ideas about how it should look.

The boys took their project outside, to recreate Ian’s gun. He had made it with a glass bottle, and I wasn’t comfortable with him carrying it around with him. So Daddy, Ian and Micah remade it. I wish I had a picture of the original, because it was an extremely creative contraption (and it really shot). The second version turned out to be extremely creative, as well… and it really shoots. Just what a mommy wants.

This wasn’t a part of either project, it was just some silliness before the supplies got put away. The kids were ‘raining’ feathers. Don’t love the mess, but I loved the colors.

We spent the rest of the day hanging out and having fun. We took the kids to their first baseball game; watching a friend of theirs play at the park. We ran a couple of errands, including grabbing some more art supplies that we have been needing. When we got home, Ian wanted to do school – so he sat down at the table and had me “teach” him about rivers. We worked on another project for a bit, then dinner.

We ended the night with an impromptu Can-Can party. I don’t have any pictures, because I was already trying to dance while holding a baby, and laughing too hard to breathe. You all will just have to imagine the five of us attempting to do a Can-Can chorus line.
