Logan's "Impressive" Project

Obviously, Logan did an exceptional job with this school project.

Good job, Log!!

Shoppin' at Ots

We've been laughing about this for a while now. How bizarre is it that Save-A-Lot and Big Lots - located side by side in the same plaza, mind you, would both have lights out in the same way?

Gargantuan Snowman

It's not everyday you see a snowman that big!

(Unless it's winter and you live near Orrville.)

Pesho Family Christmas Picture. Notice the boy in the right hand corner. Yeah, the one with the slinky sneakily poised over his eye as though it were a monocle of sorts. No one realized Matthew had possession of the slinky while the portrait was being taken. That's ok. There's one in every family. (At least one.)

Trick or Treat!

Costumes, Costumes, Costumes

This year I got it into my head that I just HAD to make the boys their Halloween costumes myself. Quite honestly, I enjoyed it and I think they turned out great, but I'm not so sure I'll be doing it again next year.

Orin's mummy was by far the most difficult. Once we got the hang of how to keep the cheesecloth on it wasn't nearly as difficult. Of course I didn't get the hang of it until I was nearly finished, but that's how it goes. I don't know what I'd have done if Mark hadn't suggested using a spray adhesive to keep the gauze attached. As usual, his suggestion worked beautifully. Earlier in the day Orin took second place at a costume party!

Sweat pants, hooded sweat shirt, socks and an old broken umbrella. Sounds simple, right? I sure thought so. It always SOUNDS simple. But when I sit down to actually put it together I form some sort of mental block and nothing seems simple anymore. All in all, this one turned out great too. Matthew was thrilled with his bat and wants to be a bat again next year.

Loganstein. This costume was great. $5.00 for the suit jacket at Goodwill. And maybe another $1.00 for the green makeup. Oh - there were the shoulder pads too. And the paint. And the hair color. But still, much less expensive than a store bought costume and much more fun. Mark made wooden blocks to attach to his shoes and spray painted them black. The blocks made him walk weird - authentic. He looked great - right down to the bolts in his neck!

Somehow or other Macchi wound up wearing Loganstein's neck bolts. She didn't mind a bit. Maybe we should have painted her face green. Poor kitty.

Pumpkin Carving

I love pumpkin carving. The best part of it for the boys isn't the carving or even seeing their beautifully lit faces, it's the destruction that follows. When the shells begin to expire we have a contest to see who can roll their pumpkin down the ravine behind the house the furthest. They always become a smashed up mess.

EcoMonster

Logan's assignment is to build a monster exclusively of recycled recyclable materials.

No parental assistance allowed.

I'm impressed.

Autumn Fun!

We had so much fun making these scarecrows. The boys had fantastic ideas and they turned out wonderfully! We'll definitely do this again next year!

Self-Barbering

Somehow this went unnoticed yesterday evening. While readying everyone for school this morning I told Matthew to go fix his hair and realized there was no hair there to fix. He said he cut it off yesterday at school - because he felt like it. As you can see by the expression, he's not so thrilled with his new look.

(I'm wondering if he really did it at school yesterday or if it happened this morning. That's a lot of missing hair to have overlooked.)

We Will Learn To Love

Ten or fifteen minutes of showing the entire neighborhood how much they are able to love one another helps them to get along better. Even if it's only for a short time.
