Math Blocks

While I'm reading our homeschool literature, Christopher builds "creations" with our math blocks. He builds something new every day, and -- in case you're wondering -- he still listens to the story being read and can tell you everything about the material after I'm done reading. He's smart like that.

Should I Be Worried?

Found this on the kitchen counter last week... oh, my son, my son....

Unintentional...

Last night, Christopher, I mean Darth Vader, was telling me a long
list of "stuff" he wants.

Mommy: Wow, you need a job!

Darth Vader: Why?

Mommy: To buy all the stuff you want.

Darth Vader: I have a job... YOU!

Mommy laughs.

Darth Vader: Why are you laughing? That wasn't supposed to be funny.

Growing Up

Christopher just got glasses! Isn't he handsome?

In the Doghouse

Not happy with Miss Lexi! After peacefully living here for two years, last week she suddenly decided to become impatient with not being let back in the house quickly enough after going outside to use the bathroom. I heard some loud scraping noises, and by the time I got to the kitchen, this is what I found....

Midnight Spy

Christopher's most recent disguise... his midnight spying outfit... beware....

Take a GFS baseball cap and add two miniature flashlights,
secured with duct tape...

Add some laser-lit nighttime goggles, and Voila!
You have an amazing nighttime spy outfit. 

This well-lit hat could be useful in a number of everyday situations!

The whole get-up... by the way, Christopher has
requested some black duct tape. I see his point.

Cardboard Warfare

Christopher has been watching the old t.v. show "Rat Patrol" lately, and his creative juices have been flowing as a result. Guns and grenades... more cardboard and more duct tape!
