Here is some randomness from the past couple weeks.
Lindsey is sporting her gift to Larry for his birthday.
I'm not sure why Kara got so involved with her potatoe soup this time. It was fun going on, but she definatly didn't enjoy when it had to come off!
Again, Spencer cuddles up to his favorite heater. What you can't see is that there is a heater-sized hole in the middle of the box. And yes, he is asleep.
After sweeping one day, Kara triumphantly grabbed the broom and finished up where I'd left off. She thought that was the greatest thing!
Today I showed Kara the box of Megablocks. She made this entirely by herself.
We went rollerskating after Thanksgiving. The kids had a lot of fun, as usual.
Larry's birthday was a little while ago. Here is his Blazer cake.
For birthdays, I always take the kids to the dollar store to pick out things for each other. Larry got an excellent chestplate and shield, candy, Christmas decor, and a sailboat puzzle. He also got an ugly white vase that a friend gave us. It has to be displayed prominantly in our house until we give it to someone else for their birthday). Our favorite was Larry and Lori's gift- Alhambra- our new favorite game that included 5 expansions.
Larry's waterpolo season ended with a banquet for players and their families. Larry and head-coach Cam, were able to officially give the school about $3600 from Intel. Intel pays $10/hour for any volunteering you do and gives it to the school. I think Larry put in about 75 hours this year.
Here's the team!
