Mr. Robot-O.

Elijah got a robot for Christmas and the kids play with him by running away screaming "robot!!". Then running back over to destroy him. Then away again. It is a very loud playtime with Mr. Robot. Anyway, I was trying to think up a project for the kids to do and decided that we would make little robot men. We still aren't done with it as we have worked on it a little at a time.... dragging the project out so they won't lose interest. AND so that I don't have to think up a new concept yet.

Anyway, here is robot making:

Berlin fresh out of a bath got red paint flung on her from Elijah. See the paint? And the stripped down Berlin....

Nice to have Elijah interested in painting...unlike at Nana Camp this year.



One of the boxes... it now has some arms but still legless.

Painting some gears to make it look mechanical.

her goofball faces :)

Randomness of September. Mini posts!

Random morning.

Our friends came up to visit (kevin and melanie) which was totally awesome! It stinkers that they moved so far. From our night at Kevin's dad's house.
Joel and Michael and poker.

Kevin and James

James joined a group called Halo 3 in the workplace. They got VIP access to play the new Halo ODST game before everyone else. James thought it was pretty fun...and nice to see people question why they got to go ahead of everyone. They had this truck with the game inside. Pretty beefy truck!








Elijah, the cutest boy ever!

We have been trying to do projects a couple of times a week besides the regular playdoh and coloring. This day we did some stained glass painting things.

September fun!



Took these after a wedding on Sept 27th...driving the back roads of Elba.

Grape Bubbles. Yum.

I took some pain medication last night and rested my foot pretty good, so today it wasn't hurting as bad. YAY! I'm still trying to stay off it as much as possible but I've felt bad that I haven't played as much with Berlin. So, carefully, I took her outside today to play with bubbles (they smelled like grape!) and then brought her inside to do some finger painting. I couldn't tell if she liked the finger painting or not, but after her bath she has been begging for more paint. I guess we'll have to do it some more another time.
