The first day of school, it couldn't come fast enough, but came much too quickly at the same time.
 |
| The sun was pretty bright, hence the tiny eyes. Both kids got to pick out their new outfit to wear on the first day. |
 |
| Ella wanted lots of pink, of course, and insisted on me curling her hair. |
 |
| Ella and Maddi. Every year I think the height difference gets bigger! |
 |
| Ethan and Caleb. Caleb was a good sport but Ethan was being such a pill it took several tries to get a picture where he looked like a sane human being. |
 |
| America's education system at work. Livi and I went to Sonic to get treats, so she would stop crying about missing her siblings. I had to laugh and the wonderful sign they put up. I'm not great with the English language, but you would think a manager would try a little harder. |
 |
| It was such an emotional day with the kids going to school, returning to the gym, playing with friends, etc that Livi actually took a nap. It was awesome! |
I've been procrastinating lots of things (like cleaning, scouts, dieting) by working on Halloween costumes. I have made some real progress, but got a little overwhelmed when I went to embroider on Ella's vest and my embroidery floss was all tangled. I ended up organizing all those supplies and thought "Wow, I don't have enough going on. I want to make a cross stitch of something totally geeky and awesome...maybe something for Christmas." So I started on this:
It is a work in progress so ten points if you can tell what it is. I want to have a little geeky decoration I can change with the holidays. Another ten points for each idea if you can think of, of Doctor Who ideas for Saint Patrick's Day, Easter, Thanksgiving, or any other holiday. I'll give 7 points for every non Dr Who geeky idea for holidays (because I love to be random). Whoever gets the most points can use those points to commission their very own geeky awesomeness or to tell me "oh...gee...thanks...but I really would
LOVE to have one of your very...unique...creations, but I'm sure you have other things you need to be doing."

Um . . . ewok outfits for various holidays? Like green loincloth for St. Patty's, one with fireworks for 4th of July, etc. An AT-ST with holy wrapped around its legs for Christmas, or with various patterns on it for other holidays. A Bantha with wreaths on its horns. An R2D2 Easter egg. Bunny ears for Easter with Superhero print (like Spider-Man with red and webs). A ghostbuster bunny. Christmas ornaments like K-9 with a wreath around him, or Santa on a Nimbus 2000, or make a regular gold bulb ornament into a snitch, or a little handmade tribble (not sure how to spell it). Have a Harry Potter-type stuffed animal owl deliver Valentines cards to the kids. A Hobbes stuffed animal with different scarves for whatever holiday. I can go on if needed.
Oh, and naturally I know the cross-stitch is a TARDIS, and I love it! You're amazing.
Ha! It's so obvious! It's the Christmas guillotine!
