For Kendra...

Busy week of trying to get our house back in order (have yet to accomplish that) and working on getting things ready for Hunter's party.

Monday, 2/4:

Austin dug out the box of costume accessories and had many many different combinations going on.





Then I went to bed and found this on my pillow...I guess Winnie wanted to play.


Tuesday, 2/5:

This is what I found when I woke up...spiderman on the chair, 


toy car on the keyboard, 


and an ear on the floor.


Spiderman came over to play on the keyboard for a bit.





I worked on capes for Hunter's guests for his Captain Underpants birthday party.  I started with 8 yards of felt and was able to cut out 24 capes with about half a yard of material left.



I used one of Hunter's capes as a "pattern."


24 capes cut out.


I used blue sheets of felt and cut out 24 trapezoids.


Then I used sheets of white felt to cut out the first initial of each child coming to the party.


I used fabric glue to get the white letters to stick to the trapezoids.  It took a few hours for it to dry.  At first it didn't seem like the glue was going to stick, but once I left it alone it did.


We still had lots of play time too...Cam was using this ear as a phone.  "Hello, can you hear me?"





Hunter had a game, but I stayed home while Chris took the boys so I could glue the blue trapezoids to the capes.  I had capes drying all over the house when the boys got home.

Wednesday, 2/5:

We had some fun play time at the gym at Lake Lynn.  Then we headed out to the playground and took a walk down to see the ducks.



Cam was NOT a fan of the freaky ducks or their noise.



Thursday, 2/7:

Austin was so funny this morning.  Here was our conversation about breakfast.

A: You have turkey?
M: No, I don't have any turkey.
A: You have any dog dogs?
M: No, Austin...you're not having hot dogs for breakfast.
A: Oh, you have any meat?
M: No, we need to go to the store.
A: You have cucumbers?
M: No, we really need to go to the store.
A: Ok, I'll have water.

haha

His hair was getting a little long in a few areas and since I have no clue how to cut hair I took him for his first "real" hair cut today.  He was so cute (and excited).  There was a boy around his age in the chair next to him screaming his head off so I was afraid Austin may get scared, but he did really well.



How grown up does this almost three year old look?


We ran a few errands and the kids were great.  Then we went to start the car and it would not start...boo...I found a guy to help me figure out my jumper cables and we got it started.  When I told him thanks he said, "It's a marines duty to help a lady."  I didn't know he was a marine.  

We drove over to Auto Zone and they tested my battery which was bad.  So they took out the old one and gave me a new one.  Well, I bought the new one, but regardless...they were fast.  

Austin was busy taking things off the shelves.


A lot of the capes with the blue trapezoids glued on.


My last step was to iron on velcro that fuses with heat.  


I was trying to take a picture of Hunter with his new cape on and Austin had to do it too.  Then he took a few pictures of me taking pictures of him.



Hunter is ready for his Captain Underpants birthday party on Saturday!  


 (Kendra, I hope your Friday is a great one...even with all the snow!)
