It was the weekend of the homeschool expo, and Jim and I had made arrangements to have several hours to go, browse, and buy. We returned home exhausted and appreciative of our time - I was able to find all of the items on my list, and Jim spotted a couple of great extras that will be just perfect to add to the mix this school year. The kids were in an epically silly mood when we got home and we had a fun, relaxed evening...tying them up at their request! Weird kids ;-)
Prior to leaving, we got the kids ready for karate (which ended up being canceled!) and Jim took them into our bedroom and made them swear an oath of obedience to Gram ;-) They thought this was pretty hilarious.
I fell in love with this kid-height multi-purpose table! Jim is going to make one for me - this would be great to have on the screened in porch for our many messy activities... just pull the bins out, hose off and voila!
Jim really tried to sell me on this Fun Ride SuperZ zipline - his idea was to run it from the top of the screened in porch to the far back fence and have it strung over the pool to drop in. Um...No. Lincoln already needs a crash helmet just for the standard daily stunts he does in the backyard.
Received this picture from Nana :-) Gram had taken the three big kids to karate and when they discovered it was canceled, she treated them to McDonald's for lunch and play!
VIP lounge of the homeschool expo with my friend Amanda P.! Haha, not really - but even better, we had a leisurely, kid-free lunch together which has, in 6+ years, never happened (dinner, yes, but never lunch). We were just about to leave, the lighting was terrible, and we were in the bathroom area, but I had to take the opportunity to photograph this highly amazing phenomenon :-)
Jim was tuckered out after hauling all of our purchases, so he sprawled out on the living room floor when we got home. The kids had been decorating with yarn (see on the wall behind them?), and took his laying down as an invitation to try and tie him up with it! They would work really hard to tie him up and then say, "See if you can break free!!" He always could, of course ;-) They just kept on trying.
After 45 minutes of this, they wanted Jim to try and tie THEM up. Weird kids!
Then Jim hogtied Lincoln - he could NOT get free and had to scoot around.
Victoria snipped the yarn around his hands and he freed his feet. Just your standard, Saturday night kid-roping ;-)
