Christian, Christian, Christian...

He called me to come down to help him.  His coat zipper got stuck so he just pulled it off like a sweatshirt.  Problem is when he went to put it back on he twisted it all up somehow!  He was laughing hysterically when I took the pics so he's all good with it... LOL

Getting ready for Disney :)

 I know, this one doesn't look so great... I forgot to realize I needed to change the sewing machine setting when sewing on material I hadn't lined with fusible lining. (the top of the safari hat...)

The kids like Safari Mickey, but they REALLY like Pirate Mickey :)

I made the kids yellow shirts like above, but for Tom and mine I didn't put the safari hat on Mickey, so it's just his head in the giraffe print.

The girls have a lighter blue shirt for Pirate Mickey than the boys (which is what is in the picture).

Fort Ouiatenon

pronounced wee-ah-tu-naan
Otherwise known as Feast of the Hunter's Moon, in Lafayette, IN.  From the website: "The Feast of the Hunters' Moon is a re-creation of the annual fall gathering of the French and Native Americans which took place Fort Ouiatenon, a fur-trading outpost in the mid - 1700s. It is held annually in early autumn on the banks of the Wabash River, four miles southwest of West Lafayette, Indiana."

 Oh my goodness, this little boy was SSOOOO adorable with his daddy's group!

She was tired... not asleep, but tired.  We left the house at 5:30am since they are an hour ahead of us.

It was a little chillier than we're used to today

They didn't care. 
They wanted to do school outside anyway :)

Medieval Times Dinner and Tournament

 

We had lots of fun!  We went YEARS ago, 2006, so we forgot most of it.  They have horse demonstrations, a falcon demonstration and of course the skills of the knights :)  It's a WONDERFUL show!  And, a WONDERFUL meal!

Christian is now 15yo. Where DOES the time go?!?!

 

Full disclosure, being 15yo does not necessarily mean you are smart...

Mom does not fold socks, and neither does Christian.  He just throws them all in his drawer and pulls out as needed.  He grabbed different socks.  Mom questioned him about it, and he really didn't see anything wrong with wearing these as a pair!  I made him change... LOL
