I saved most of the pumpkin seeds from the birthday party to make pumpkin seeds.

Jack left us for a few days to go pheasant hunting in North Dakota.  Helen came to stay with us.

I have mentioned before about basketball being played in my kitchen.  I have never gotten a picture because it always happens when I am trying to cook.  Thanks to Helen she got a great action shot.

Henry seems to love playing the piano.  He gets a 5 minute lesson from Miss Inne after the boys are done with their lessons.

Robbie built these Lego robots – his own idea/design.

We took Helen out to the fort in the woods.

Robbie was climbing and swinging on this wild grapevine.  A little scary for me to watch.

I found directions for a Jedi robe on-line – so easy!  I googled “How to make a Jedi Robe” and found an incredibly easy pattern!  Robbie’s request was that it be made out of fleece (really easy – no hemming needed).  I went to Hancock Fabric during their 50% off  sale.  All three boys wanted at Jedi Robe.  Charlie didn’t care that Jedi Robes are brown, he wanted a blue one.  They all helped me make the robes.

We took Helen to Iverson Park.  She took many photos (195 photos to be exact).   It was difficult to choose what photos to share.

Muscles made with leaves.  This made me itchy just watching them fill their shirts.

About Jenny

I am a Mama to three very active boys and one daughter. I love winter! I think about snow all year! I love cross country skiing. I hope to teach my children to love winter and to love cross country skiing. Someday I will chase them on the trails. I also love to sew, garden, bake, bike and make homemade soap.
