Kids October 8th

They're still on a Monopoly kick. :)  

 

 

 

 

 

 

Allan's really fast with the math.

They want the Wii game of Monopoly so they don't have to clean up the pieces each time they play.

Dressing up at work

Spider-lady

My co-worker/friend, Jenny, and I decided to go as characters from FRIENDS. She went as Phoebe and I went as Monica. we each picked out favorite scenes from the show. I went as Monica in a flashback, before her prom. Jenny pretended to be pregnant Phoebe, wearing Santa Claus pants.

Original dress, from the show, I was copying.

Mall-o-ween October 2012

 

Elaine's Rapunzel costume still fit, so she wore that again, but with a new wig. 

Allan was a knight.

Elaine ran for Vice President -October 2012

She was allowed to make one poster for the halls at school. We used the Cricut to cut out shapes together. She also had to give a speech to all of forth grade. She didn't get elected, but it was a good experience.

Our herd, going to Chickfila

I made the kids some cow hats and shirts. I figured if I painted baseball caps, they wouldn't outgrow them and could use them again. I also made Elaine a cow-print skirt. Jimmy took the hats with him to work, so he and his coworkers could get FREE sandwiches at Chickfila at 'Cow appreciation day'. If you were 'part cow' you'd get a free sandwich. If you were dressed as a cow 'head to hoof', then your whole meal was free.

 

Jimmy made his own "costume" at work (it was a slow morning) to get his lunch for free.

 

Jim and the kids started playing Monopoly

... like all the time. That's their first question, when they hear anyone is coming over to the house; "Do they play Monopoly?"  They've played with my mom, Micah, Regina and Jimmy.  Allan won against Micah! :)

she had a peeling sunburn on her chin that day. :-(

different day. Same shirt. :p

Play Monopoly again. She made that hat, by the way.

"Jimmy Jr." consulting the rulebook.

Random pics of the kids, in July

Jimmy and Lainey at church. We got this dress (brand new with JCpenny tags) at a resale store the weekend before and she wanted to wear it.

Elaine was given skates. :)

Rare picture of Allan sitting still quietly.

Downtown Denton, going for ice cream.
