November 2015

I've shared it before and I'm sharing it again.  It's just too funny not to.

Sleeping in mom's chair.

The main Lego sorting is done!!  And yes, those are all full of Lego's.  Now the fun of sorting by sets begins!!

Silly children

He's learned to climb shelves in the pantry and figured out how to open the mac and cheese.  We found him munching away on the dry noodles.

Building on the Lego wall.

Napping in the Legos.

Being snuggly on mom's chair.

If I fits, I sits.

Master Builder.

Helping daddy build the Super Star Destroyer.

Firecracker and Jenni had birthday's.

She's 10 now.

Soooooo, this happened.  Here's the thing; Lion Heart is in 6th grade now, and has to do the Greek Wax Museum thing that Firebolt did last year.  Lion Heart got Zeus.  Well, his Aunt Jenni had a wig and beard that was perfect for his costume.  We stopped off to pick it up on our way home and on the car ride home, because I'm curious about things, I tried it on for fun.  I think I look rather smashing.

Lion Heart got a rank advancement.

And so did Spaceman Spiff.

Singing opera

Snuggles with Spaceman Spiff.

 For one of their achievements, my Bear Cubs had to put on a Carnival.  It was a smash hit and tons of fun.

I got more help with laundry.

Epic Lego sword of epicness.

He rocked the Zeus.

No explanation needed here.

Playing with Sugar Dust.

awwww

 Last home game of the year.  It was cold, but not so cold that I was miserable.  I was bundled up and stayed pretty warm the whole time.  It was fun.  We won, of course!

Darth Vader came for a visit at half time.

 There's nothing quite like having police on your doorstep at 12:30 am to get your adrenaline up.

Apparently someone hit our car and fled the scene.

A passerby saw all the glass spread across the road and called the police, who then woke us up to notify us that our car had been hit.

They think it was either a teen or a drunk.  Either way, we'll never know and now we get to deal with this.

Grumble, grumble, grumble.  Luckily and thankfully, no one was in the car, so there were no injuries.  But still, grumble, grumble, grumble.

Best buddies.....on his end anyway.  I'm not sure Sugar Dust shares the same sentiment.

Making pies for Thanksgiving!!

mmmmmm, Pumpkin Pie....made from Pumpkins grown in the garden.

droool.....Lemon Meringue.

Oh yeah.....Chocolate Cream

Sleepy kitty, no help at all.

aaaaahhhh......Coconut Cream

 I may not have had help making the pies, but I sure did have plenty of "help" trying to put up the Christmas Tree.

I love how Spaceman Spiff is just reading his Kindle here.

Waiting to go to grandma's house and help decorate there.

 It's a tradition to go to my parents house the day after Thanksgiving to help my mom put up all of her decorations and help my dad "build" the 12 foot Christmas Tree.

We wore my poor niece out before we even began.

Now grandpa gets the "help".  Next time I'll have to bring Sugar Dust, Anubis, and Mighty Mouse to really "help"

Decorating the tree.

 Meow-meow loves Lindsey Stirling and to him any music is Lindsey Stirling.  So, this singing Christmas Tree became his favorite toy.  He would cart it everywhere, he figured out how to make it work.  Now, what you can't see very well in this picture are the two chop-sticks that he calls his "violin".  Much dancing and "violin" playing occurred.  And he simply refuses to wear clothes when he plays his "violin".

My favorite feet warmers while sitting by the tree.

 My poor tree.

I have dreams, dreams of one day having my tree look put together and beautiful.  But as long as I have cats and a toddler, those dreams will not come true.  I think my tree looked beautiful for about 10 minutes.  Then the ornaments started moving up the tree and the bottom branches looked like they had been through a war.

Moving the ornaments further up the tree may have deterred Meow-meow from getting them, but the cats know how to climb.  I swear I'll be finding ornaments hidden around the house from now until next Christmas.
