Boy gone wild

 

September fun

The librarians at our library have some time on their hands, I think.

Rainbow week.  The boy was asked to wear a specific color everyday for two weeks.  One of the last days was brown, and the only brown shirt we had was husband/s work shirt.  He also got to bring Grandma's little dog to school drop off and pick up.  Both boy and dog looooooved it.

The boy came to my book club.  I can't remember if I already shared this, but I thought it was funny.

We have a little outlet sized hole in the wall.  Been there since we moved it, but I had a table in front of it, so it didn't really bother me.  We've moved that table and now these bare outlets are staring me in the face.  I decided at least one needed some fancying up.   The tiniest fairy garden.  It took three tries, but I finally got it tiny enough.

 

Pizza time

 

Is this how chopsticks work?

 

The boy came with me to bookclub at the local Japanese restaurant.

First grade

We'd tried preparing the boy for a new year of school, but who is ever really prepared.  He didn't appreciate the interruption of his usual gentle morning warm up.  

Husband teasesd him enough about showing off his muscles, that the boy finally loosened up.

The kiddos are in masks again, but this kid doesn't mind at all.  No tears (from him), a few waves to old friends, and just a few nerves.  It was a pretty good day for the little man.

 

Birthday cakes

From one of the boy's favorite cartoons (from left to right): the bad guy, the birthday boy, and one of the good guys.  I got several lego and lego figure molds from someone on FB, including a large baking form.  I made most of the frosting from scratch, except for the decorating gels,  and the dark red, which I could not get dark enough on my own.    The boy loved that one looked like him, and bragged to anyone that would listen that he'd eaten his own head.

 

Inside out and backwards

 

Just like his cousins.
