It just so happens

Our kids are crazy. The school year is winding down and I have a couple of backlogged experiences to share with all 5 of our readers. Here was a hodgepodge of what it means to be a resident at Muddington.

IM has been TP'd by his sister here, for reasons I am not sure. He accepted his lot in life to be AK's big experiment and decided he was a warrior of sorts. Lets not discuss the types of battles this little man would be involved in.

EI definitely has the pop wrapped around her little finger. Cuteness doesn't begin to describe Ole'E.

Even though I struggle with the faux-hawk as a teacher (hawks were worn by punks when I was a kid not preps), I immediately had to set a new double standard as I saw my son rocking the hawk. I was surprise by the amount of vanity the little guy had. We set him up on Sunday before church and that thing was sticking up off the head for a whole dang week.

The rocking moose has been around since AK was a baby and she broke it when she got bigger. I repaired it as IM got big enough to rock the moose, then he broke it. I put it away for a while and finally fixed it the other day and there was much joy. Go go rockin' moose.

Last we have this little representation of AK in one of her many interesting reading positions. I might just have to start recording all the different things AK does while she is glued to her book. That would be fodder for many many bloggos to come.

Another one

AK was in the 3rd grade wax museum as Louisa May Alcott. Here are a few pictures of the dress the grammie made and some of the positions she was sitting in during the activity. All 3rd graders were people from Americas past whom they had researched and written about and finally depicted in this wax museum show. It was sweet, enjoy.

It's on...

We went to a friends cabin the other day to watch the start of the Iditarod and had an awesome time cheering for all the dogs and mushers going out to Nome Alaska.
After we went to the cabin to warm up and have something warm to drink.

Outside and having a great time. There was a BBQ and a fire, and lots of snow machines (mobiles for you eastern folk).

IM is ready to tear it up. I was giving the kids rides on the yellow snow machine and IM was sitting on this one waiting for his turn.

Here is beautiful E.

and here is the race...

Da-na-na-na-na-na-na-na I-Man

IM and I went to the hobby store the other day. We were thinking about making a model together and while my eyes were on the top shelf and seeing all the WWII bombers IM was scouring the lower shelves. I was particularly interested in the B-25's but IM had other ideas, like prop planes weren't for him for one thing. So we looked for the jets and he pulled this one off the shelf. IM once again showing impeccable taste. Of course we would make the BATPLANE. It was even a vintage model that had been sitting there for a while. So home we went and began our first model and I thought you might like to see how it went.

Fuselage together, check.

Wings, check.

That was just about it, easy one and successful on the first of many to come.

the skies are safer here at home now that Batman and Boy Wonder are patrolling the Muddington District.

And why not go retro all the way with a little BATPLANE viewing...
