Wordless Wednesday

or at least Less-Words Wednesday . . .

On Makenna's day off from school, the kids made Indian "hats". Each one said "Indian Makenna", "Indian Madison" and "Indian Isaiah."

The kids made this sign. What is funny about it is that it's hung on the inside of the pantry door AND it's colored with glow in the dark crayons. That way, when Bubby shuts the door on you (obviously that happens frequently), you can still see it.

Because Daddy's working so much, we've been trying to spend as much time as we can with him. And since Daddy likes naps, this is sometimes what we get . . .

While Mommy & Daddy were out of town, Nana took the girls to see a musical of Esther. Of course, Isaiah couldn't be left out of the picture.

The girls were amazed -- Nana said Madi even clapped when the Jews were freed! You can imagine how excited they were when they had the opportunity to MEET QUEEN ESTHER afterwards and get her autograph!

Through some fellow homeschoolers we were told we could watch the dress rehearsal of the musical, Willy Wonka at a local highschool for free. After the great experience the girls had seeing Esther, we decided to go.

The girls really enjoyed it. We've since had to watch the televised version since they hadn't seen it. Even Isaiah has gotten into Willy Wonka -- he asks to watch "won-CKa" and tries to sing the Oompa Loompa song.

Last weekend, we traveled to Cincinnati (along with many other family members pictured here) to witness the adoption finalization for Evan Michael Lott -- cousin Brian & Niki's son.

Here's "baby Evan" as the kids call him. We so proud to have him as an official part of the family.

Bubby sure loves his Pappy. He was tagging along with Pappy at the hotel in Cincy.

On our travels, we stopped at Steak 'n Shake. The kids enjoyed the hats and buildable car.

We drove through Cleveland on our way home. Papaw took the kids to the world's largest candy store. Makenna wasn't impressed with the candied bugs.
