Climbing the walls

Yes, the sport of climbing the walls has now been banned at our home. The kids have just gotten too good at it!



Even Mima gets in the action. I guess you can teach an old dog new tricks . . .

Praying for Mantis

One thing I really like about this area is that we get preying mantises every year. This year we just enjoyed having one around for the day and let him go right away. Instead of having to keep him in a box I can remind the kids that there will always be more (if we let him go).

Paint (not) by Numbers

Remember when we were kids and we used scraped two rocks together to make powder and rubbed it on our faces and pretended we were "Indians?" Well, my kids definitely one-upped me by using chalk and water to paint their whole bodies . . . the tub may never be the same.




Yup. We sure know how to have fun around here.
