the week so far

First, Ben became a little obsessed with his coins and dumped them ALL out on MY floor and proceeded to spend several days sorting and lining them up by date, usually hanging out of the hammock like the dad in Honey I Shrunk the Kids doing the backyard sweep.
He found a 1940 penny and climbed up in bed with me (it was early in the morning) and shoved it in my face.  "Have you EVER seen ANYTHING THIS OLD?"

Uh, the house was built in 1932, so...yes, right behind your head.  Sorry kid.


Friday was UFO (UnFinished Object) night for us moms!
Suzette had put off making these paper Muppets far too long!
She is thrilled to be let loose with paper and glue dots.
P.S.  I am not getting one.
Fall food!

Check out the meeting space we have now!  Oo-la-la!
Today we went to Karen's for lunch!





The girls hung out and chatted.
Everyone but Chandler played, "When I was in public school" and there were tales of running in extreme cold weather for P.E., mean kids and so on but the most heart-wrenching tale came from Kei, who once was told she would fail P.E. if she did not stop putting feathers on her gym shoes.

O-o, here she comes!
Watch out boy, she'll chew you up!
Whoa-oo, here she comes!
She's a man eater!


And finally, the piggers made short work of the grass today, but REALLY.  This is why they are called PIGS.  All of the grass poking up through the bottom of the cage and what is Mochii doing?  Shoving her head through the slats for the same grass an inch further out.  See Oly peeking out of the pigloo?  hehehe, I love the pigs.
