A Brief Update

Wow ... it's been awhile!

Things have been busy but good around here. Life just keeps moving .... and so fast!

Fancy just finished up her Volleyball season last night with a great win. She had a fun time on a team with a bunch of sweet girls. She can't wait until the new season starts up in the Spring.

My little "Lady Longhorn" (my scanner does not give the best of color)

Bubby is just starting his Basketball season with his team, "The Sharks". He is super excited for the games to get going in December. Pictures coming soon!

School is wrapping up nicely over here as we head into our LONG winter break. This worked so well for us last year we are doing it again. I am ready for some relaxation and some planning for spring. We will tie up a few loose ends over the next day or so and then be DONE until January. Ah ... the freedom.

Ok, now for a few funnies regarding Bubby: This first one isn't as funny as it is sweet.

He decided last night he wanted to prepare dessert for the family. He made us all a serving of Chocolate Pudding with Whipped Cream and Sprinkles. He even HAD to put it in the "fancy glasses". He worked QUITE hard on his masterpieces. It was YUMMY!

Thanks Bubby!

 

And now for the funny: I came across one of his "inventions" today. He is CONSTANTLY inventing, building, and/or creating something. It was a wooden dowel he found in the garage that he had attached some pencil leads to with tape. He was wanting to see how it would write. I didn't get a picture of it at that point but told him he could try it and then needed to take it apart because it was dangerous to carry something around with so many sharp points on the end.

Ok ... so I said it ... did you see the word? DANGEROUS. Yeah ... that was a mistake.

Clearly this gave him another idea altogether. He disappeared for a bit (I was thinking he had gone to disassemble his creation ... HAH ... silly me) but I found out that was not the case. He came to me a bit later with this:

Uh, yeah. He thought DANGEROUS sounded pretty good I guess. He told me with this "Ninja Stick" he could fight off any "Bad Guys" that tried to get into our house.

Incase the pic isn't super clear, that is a 3 foot dowel with pencil leads and push pins taped to it so all you breaker inners out there BEWARE!

Have a GREAT Thanksgiving!
