Who Knows...

I have almost NO idea when these shopping photos were taken...probably during Fall 2016.  

 I found them during my phone clean-up.  

I just thought they were too cute to not share :o)

Random Stuff From This Week...

Here are some random photos from our week so far...

MK, Grammy & I attended a Harry Potter event at the bookstore '2nd & Charles' and she received these fun glasses.  She has also been enjoying the Junie B Jones series which we purchased at the same {used} book store.

 The *much* anticipated Vacation Bible School has been occurring this week.  MK's crew leader is Miss Carlye Long.  MK met Miss Carlye at VBS 2016 and they have been pals ever since.  MK has been having SO much fun at Saint Mark's VBS this year! 

Tonight, they made clay action figures!

MK has continued piano lessons over the summertime.  We plan to take a break in August & September.  Ms. Carolyn always keeps things fun & interesting with games & different activities.

More Results of Phone Clean-Up...

I am continuing to clean out my e-mail & all my phone pictures.  I thought these were some fun photos from a day that Daddy & I joined MK at school for lunch.  

It was "Super Heroes" Day -- in honor of a classmate 

who is a Type I Diabetic.

Moana Hair Fun...

MK wanted "Moana Hair" earlier this week.  So after her bath, we braided her hair & she slept with it in braids.  We think it turned out LOVELY!

The Electrical Water Pageant Lego Set...

MK was excited about the water pageant that we saw at Disney World, so she made a LEGO set. There are 8 different animals there.

I really liked the sea dragon the best. I like EVERYTHING about him-the scales, the tongue, the tail, EVERYTHING! MK was so creative on making this one.

The whale- another favorite.The whale and the turtle (the next one) have something in them. MK used little clear blue bits to store water in the whale. The whale is a she, by the way.

MK has already told you, the turtle is the only other one that has something in it. I like the turtle because of the details on her shell. The object in the turtle is fish and sea plants.

MK has told me the octopus was very difficult to make. So she TRIED to use all reds, because that was the color the octopus was in the light show. She also used two chairs for some of his legs. Good job, MK!

The dolphins were the very first ones to be made by MK, but the dolphins themselves weren't built.
The dinosaur is Joey's favorite because of the song, "Open the door, on the floor, Everybody walk the dinosaur" and I like it because of the leaves he's eating.

I am GLAD the crocodile doesn't close all the way, because if so, he would eat me up!

The sea carriage was the last one. I like it because of the plan of Ariel's safety bar. She has a fin in this vrsion, and if your character has a  fin, then he/she won't work with the foot hold.

MK has been wanting to post this on LEGO for a set to be around, but we'll just see about this...

Great-Grandma Brandt...

Great-Grandma Brandt stayed for several weeks around the 2016 Christmas-time.  This is a picture taken in early January 2017.  We really enjoyed her extended visit.

Daddy's Birthday...

For her Daddy's birthday {3-9-17}, MK left clues all around the house.  Each clue had a character & a note that led to the next clue.  The final note was this great birthday card!  

(This was all HER idea!!)

Turkey Trot...

The Turkey Trot was in, ummm...... November 2016.  But here are the pictures!

Random Christmas Stuff...

So I'm cleaning out my emails & photos in my phone... Little by little, maybe I'll get caught up.  No fancy post here, but these are some pictures from Christmas 2016:

 CHRISTMAS BAKING!

 MK had fun "fixing" everyone's hair.

 Kyle's family came to visit.  Madison & MK 

had so much fun together!

 We did a Lego Advent Calendar for MK for 2016.

She had to be super patient & wait to open each day's box.

Her elf, Lucky, was not quite so patient.

 ZOOLIGHT SAFARI 2016

Oooopy...

These pictures are from a month or two ago... MK's class made this cornstarch-stuff as a science project.  So we threw together a batch at home also!

Lego Friends Harry Potter Park Post...

This is so fun to show off, guys! The LEGO friends are going to a park with a Harry Potter theme. Above is a picture of Sleeping Beauty and Mia having a snack and the other is Andrea going down a slide. Below is Ariel and Ella on some plastic mandrake bars that were gray in the store and then painted green and then people put paper green leaves on them.To the right is the WHOLE park!

Livi, the star of the show, has been getting into some swinging lately. Livi is in the swing picture to the left, and Joy and Stephanie are on a roundabout. Joy is the girl with the red braid and Stephanie is the other girl.

This is a video of the whole park!
