So, I did really good for the first few months of blogging, but as soon as the holidays hit I basically just quit. I didn't mean to. Each week I told myself I would get things updated and each week I got a little further behind. So I will try to get caught up a bit. Bare with me while I backtrack....
One morning Isaac came to me looking for one of Dad's old socks so he could make a sock puppet. (He is my crafty, always making, baking, or fixing something boy!) I thought that was a great idea and so eventually the whole gang was making sock puppets. I'm not sure how but the neighbor kids ended up making them too. Now, what good is a sock puppet without a puppet show? So the boys took off down the street to invite all of their friends to see the puppet show. As I was brushing my teeth I looked out my bathroom window to see them across the street hiding behind a storage bin, and performing their show while my good friend and her girls watched form their front door. I giggled a bit, and shouted for them to come on home when they were done. They promptly told me that they couldn't because they had three more shows scheduled. A few more minutes went by and I went to see where they were. As I walked out my front door I was totally surprised! They had six lawn chairs set up in our culdesac. And those lawn chairs weren't empty! They had gone door to door inviting each of my neighbors, who were kind enough to oblige them. We all sat and watched the show which was just a mixture of grunts, yelling, laughing, and the sock puppets wacking each other. Then we gave them a standing ovation, and in turn (who knows why) the sock puppets began belting us with candy of all sorts. (A blow pop really doesn't feel good being hurled at your face). It was quite entertaining to say the least.
