Caleb got this Lego for his birthday. When he finished building it, he let Blake hold it. Blake dropped it and Caleb threw an epic fit. He realized he would have to take it all apart to fix it. He refused to so it sat in pieces in this cookie sheet for months. (Thanks to Grandma Carlson for handling the situation while we were on a trip!)
That was in February. I would ask him regularly if he wanted me to help him put it together. His response was always an emotional "No". I started to put it together. He kept saying he wouldn't help. After I got 1/2 way through, he jumped right in and finished it. He and Blake were so happy to finally play with it.
I have a few rose plants in the yard. This is my all-time favorite. As a bud, it is a deep orange/almost red. When it is open, it is a gorgeous salmon . As it starts to fade, it turns into a peach, or pink color. It is so pretty. I wish I knew the name so I could have one in every yard I move to.
Caleb got some glasses during the summer. We sure hope it helps him read the far away posters and boards in school.
My neighbor friend has a huge dislike for holiday lawn blow-up decorations. We have joked for a couple years about buying a huge, annoying decoration and sneak it onto people's yards while they sleep. We always thought it was just an idea.
We woke to this 10 foot gem in early June. What a crackup!
Caleb made a tool box at day camp. He couldn't wait to come home and paint it.
Here is Kyle's finished insect collection. It was a group project so many of these were collected by other students. Kyle was so obsessed with it so they let him take it home.
I made him move it from his room to the garage while they dry out. Barf!
