One nice wave

This is one nice wave and the best picture I caught.  Later, there were many larger waves that sprayed all the way up to the top of the street lights.  And of course, the ones in the canal were the coolest.

Swimmin' last weekend

Happy Ethan

Mapping

Ethan and Avery got a geography lesson as the colored where they had been, where they want to go, and anyplace else that seemed intersting.  Avery can't wait to go to 'Hanna Montana'.

Chester and Oz

From last weekend

Oh, yeah!!

Ethan gets a haircut before the tkd test.

5 bags of harvest veggies, 2 big zuchinnis left.

Edible Bionicles

Yesterday Ethan got the latest Bionicle movie. Today we had the cousins
and Konnor over for a bionicle party. The party consisted of crafting
bionicle masks, watching the movie, and making edible bionicles from
pretzel sticks, marshmallows and grapes. They also carved apples. Much
tasty creativity was expressed. The combination of marshmallows,
pretzels and grapes is not bad tasting.

New home for the rooster

Butterscotch got a new home today with a great family. He'll be looking
after 5 hens and one of them is bigger than he is. You can see him in
this picture standing on the gate and watching the new chickens with the
whole family watching.

Emu!

On our way to Duluth on Saturday we stopped in McGregor.

New homeschooling bus?

First day of Avery's preschool

She really was excited and had fun, but she didn't show the camera.

New floor

Our dojang has a new blue foam floor.  Plus I thought this picture of Ethan's class was nice with the different color belts.

Harvest!

Burying the deceased little chicken

Despite how it appears, Avery didn't have an over full bladder.

Pie on the Porch

At the annual fundraiser at the Laposki's house.

Avery finally got a lop ear bunny.

3 hyper kids sitting still enough for a picture

Now go to bed, you hooligans!  It's a quarter to 11.

There's a hole in our cups

Lesson:  make sure dishes don't fall into the bottom of the dishwasher.

There's a hole in our hearts the size of a small chicken :(

Tears were shed.  Dogs were scorned.  Life goes on with a little less zest this evening.

Wounded chicken

Ethan is keeping little Surprise warm hoping it'll recover from a light chomping in Cedric's mouth.  I'm hoping, too.

Cousins in a Coop

This was an interesting day with lots of kids getting to know lots of
chickens and lots of chickens wishing they weren't getting to know the
kids quite so fast.
