Project Life 2012 Week 3

A huge 'thanks!' to Brad for guest posting last week... it went a little something like this:

Brad: You need to update your blog

Me: I know... I keep thinking about it. You could do it.

Brad: Ok. 

And away he went... with poetry, no less! :) 

Just a little info on those pictures that he included:

1, 2, & 3)Bennett wearing the Perry the Platapus mask is so funny! Santa brought the P&F game for Christmas and we've really enjoyed playing it! You get to do all kinds of fun and silly things to make it all the way through summer vacation

4) Brad did a guest appearance in Bennett's class to teach about the body on 1.10.12 Bennett made Brad posters to use to illustrate some of the topics of discussion. The most discussed thing, however, was how Brad broke the teacher's chair :)  I also heard that he did a great job teaching them!
5) On the 14th we took Bennett and his friend to the Lego show downtown. The boys had a great time looking at all of the really cool creations. I think they were inspired to build even bigger and better things. Of course, what they really wanted to do was get to the shops and spend the $7 that was burning a hole in their pockets :)


Ok, now on to week 3

January 15 - Bennett has recently become obsessed with Ninjago. They have overtaken the kitchen and the living room...

On Sunday, the 22nd we celebrated Pa's birthday at Shane's. The picture right before this one resulted in squinty eyes. This is what I got when I told them to keep their eyes open - I guess Bennett comes by the 'shocked' look honestly :)

 We had cupcakes at home before we headed out to the Pinewood Derby.

Bennett, Brad, and Pa had spent quite a long time designing and crafting Bennett's car for the Pinewood Derby this year. You can probably guess, but Bennett's car is the Auburn one in the middle :)  He didn't do very well in the races - something about a wheel that was rubbing or sticking. He still did a great job (or should I say THEY did a great job :)!
