1175 Lego pieces...

Take a lot of hours to assemble.  Jonah's building a star wars republic gunship he got for Christmas.  Here's hoping it doesn't get destroyed right away.

Big Boy Bed!

Elijah napped in his new bed both yesterday and today, and slept part of the night in it last night.  There's hope!

Family project day!

New carpet comes tomorrow.  Today we remove the old!

Colorful Cookies!

Selah hung out with our neighbors for most of the day today.  And they made and decorated cookies.  Very colorful Cookies! She had a blast, of course.

What were we thinking? ?

Took 4 hours to sand this part.  There's still the whole catwalk/bridge to go.  Probably not the best idea.

At the beach?

It's a good thing we buy our kids mattresses and blankets and make them cool beds. Most likely they wouldn't want to sleep with beach towels on the floor if that was their only option....

Meadowbrook Hall

We took a field trip to Meadowbrook Hall today. The short story is that it was built by the wife of one of the Dodge brothers (think Viper) after she remarried following her husband's death. It's a 88,000 square foot Tudor style mansion.  Obviously incredible, but no photos allowed inside except at this fireplace. We had hoped to do a family photo but somehow managed to forget the camera. So we grabbed a few quick shots of the kids via my phone.  Not Christmas card material, unfortunately. But they're cute anyway.
