Lightning Girl

About a year ago Georgia was invited to a super hero party and since she isn't really exposed to any mainstream super heroes we made up our own-Lightning Girl!  Well she refused to wear the costume before we left for the party and then at the party.  I was more than a little irritated but kids will be kids.  It has been hanging in her closet ever since then.  For some reason she recently decided yo pull it out and put it on.  So cool, right?!

Green Bean Hideout

A friend posted a picture of a neat idea on facebook recently so I decided to give it a try.  It was referred to as a living hideout but we call it the bean tepee.  We built a structure with bamboo rod and garden twine and then planted green bean seeds at the base.  We will see what happens over the summer.

Don't know if I've mentioned but we had "squired" one of my mom's peacocks through no effort of our own. He watched us build.

When the girls got bored they got out the art car Georgia had made a Philbrook that day and took it for a spin. You can see me in the background still working hard.  

Pancakes with the Firemen

One of our local fire houses has an annual pancake breakfast fundraiser.  We had never been before but went this year and had a good time.  The pancakes were good and the kids liked to tour and playing on the fire truck.
