Today we visited the park
Our favorite was the sculpture about cancer.
Sylvia is always asking for a dirty job to do. I had her fill in a few nail holes with Spackle, but that wasn't dirty enough for her so I had her fill a bucket full of mud. Did she know it was pointless? Of course not. Did I make more work for myself by giving her this job? Of course. Did she enjoy every minute of it. Why yes, yes she did indeed.
Congratulations to Isabel for finishing her Gamma Math book!
Isabel wanted to have a math party with her friends to celebrate. I didn't take any pictures of the party (because who has time when you're busy partying) but here is Isabel (and company) making party preparations.
Isabel made some paper fish with mathematical equations on them for the fishing game and the girls made some Don't Eat Pete boards for our Don't Eat Pete game.
Hooray for Isabel! (I love how her Don't Eat Pete game board has a tooth theme.
Just a few things we did while Grandma and Grandpa where here... Grandma helped (well, did most of) the gardening. She tackled three years worth of pruning and filled up I don't even know how many large black trash bags with dead branches. (I promise Sylvia at least has underwear on in this picture. If it was up to her she would be gardening in the nude.)
Grandpa planned and built the roof of our carport. (Why it was off in the first place is a whole other long story.)
Unfortunately Joey was so sick that weekend and later commented that it was a blow to his ego to have to watch a seventy year old man surpass him at carport roof building.
Grandma helping set up the school room.
Sylvia painting in the school room (which is separate from the main house...I love it.)
Hazel finding a match.
Hazel painting. (View of the tree house out the window.)
We got two kitties. A little brother and sister that let Hazel drag them around. They are such good kitties.
Ever since we moved to Tucson I've wanted to walk through the rattle snake bridge. While grandma was here we did it!
Being digested.
When you walk by the tail you hear a rattle sound!
After learning about the Moors, we had a Moorish style feast with Islamic music and incense.
Shirts were optional.
Joey and Isabel went on a Daddy Daughter date for her Activity Days group. I hear they are quite the athletes in a wheelbarrow race.
