Reed's Odyssey of the Mind (OM) team has started meeting at our house for the weekly 4-hr meetings. Already my sewing/ebay room has the additions of a walker, a wheelchair, a tricycle, huge sheets of cardboard, rolls of paper and a big tub filled with miscellaneous - hot glue guns, fake greenery, drinking straws and the like. And this is only the first week - yikes! Hopefully before the New Year, B will be putting hardwood floors down in this room and it will eventually become ZB's bedroom:
Here the boys are gearing up for a homeschool craft day this week. They each set up tables with their handmade goods. Reed made snowglobes and dog treats. Clay made PVC marshmallow shooters and little hackysack balls (balloons filled with sand). They did really well selling items and had a great time putting them together.
ZB, of course kept busy all week - this girl is into EVERYTHING! Reed left his iPod unattended while he left the room and this is the scene he returned to:
Here she is tonight, trying to "help" me take photos of a baby chair I am selling. Everytime she would get off of it, I'd try to sneak the camera back out and snap a photo and she would come running to sit down and have her picture taken... well, I finally did get a shot of it, and about 10 of ZB in it :)
We are also holding the Connecticut families in the light tonight, that are trying to come to terms with losing their children in such a horrific way. So sad for so many. I hope they find some peace in their community over time. I'm certainly giving my kids some extra hugs and kisses and I hope you'll do the same to all the sweet kids in your life!
Love
Julie
