Monkeys, Crafts, Food

Hello! Another post, actually I'm doing two tonight :D Catch up time. I discovered something, I changed the way my camera takes pictures, so now the memory card only holds about 25 pics. Well, then, I get along hoarding pics and then I see something cute, grab the camera, and "aww man, the camera's full". Next comes frantic viewing of the pics to see what can be deleted to make way for the cute thing going on, and then ready, but, oh, well, the picture opportunity is GONE!!!! So then disgusted, I go download the pics, and might as well write a post while I'm at it :D It works for now!!!

We got the kids each their own aluminum water bottles, you know that plastic is bad, especially when any water in their water bottle tastes like plastic when left in the car overnight. Can't be good for them, anyway, this is Carolyn's. She loves monkeys, must feel a kinship.....

This is the way our table looks at various times of the day, this looks like breakfast, I can see a bag of carrots, half eaten apple, and lots and lots of markers :D

Beka and Greg are now co-artists, he's started drawing more, and she loves having someone to draw with. True he doesn't yet show her aptitude in that area, but he can build really cool spaceships with Lego's, so I'm not too worried about him!

Ever seen that movie "Groundhog Day", where Bill Murray says, "No thanks, I've seen Larry eat." and then stuffs his hand in his mouth and says, "arrgghgh". Well this picture reminded me of that. She does love her food, especially craisins and pretzel sticks.

So this was Greg's idea, he wanted to make a carrot pencil :P So here it is, 3 baby carrots, some sour cream (not sure what that was for) and toothpicks. I sharpened the end for him, he showed it off for a picture, then ate it. Kids come up with some strange ideas...but they're fun. Keeps life interesting...
