Making Shields from Chronicles of Narnia

We have been listening to the Chronicles of Narnia on audio cd thanks to Marion.  In the Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe, the Peter gets a sword and a shield from Santa Claus.  The kids wanted to make shields of their own so we made craft ones.

The Ghost


Paul used all his Christmas money, all the money he had saved up, and had to earn a good number of stickers to buy the Ghost.  It is a ship from Star Wars Rebels.  It cost $89.  He and Shawn worked over 3 days to get it put together.  Paul is very excited about it.

Paul Getting His Stripe


We did not attend the promotion for our orange belt with a stripe.  We got them in class.  I did get to take pictures of Paul getting his.

Parachuting off the Couch

We made a parachute out of the kids' puppy backpack and a dish towel.  They had lots of fun parachuting off the couch.

We tried these Rachael Ray enchiladas last night and boy oh boy were they yummy!

The Valentine's Bunny


I bought the kids Valentines at Walmart the other day.  Paul decided he was going to be the Valentine's bunny and deliver Valentines to us under our pillows.  They were both very excited and wound up about it.

Old Granny Joy

I told Joy she looked like an old granny wrapped up in her blanket watching Paul and I have an epic lightsaber battle.
