Frontier Days, gymnastics, etc

That's Cathleen on the balance beam. She and Kieran are taking gymnastics now at the city-run gym. Sean might start too but he's busy doing judo now with Daddy.  

At the Alabama Frontier Days, we learned how to make rope.

Nursing Finn on the front porch after a lovely day at the zoo.

I secretly took this picture of Sean repairing his snake. It's been a bit floppy and needed more stuffing so Sean performed surgery and added more stuffing! He and Pea have repaired her riding pony and a few other stuffed animals that had tears. On their own without me asking!

Finn climbed in the van and buckled the chest clip to go somewhere after breakfast one day!

Finn has grown 4" in the last 6 months. His very first pair of shoes that he actually wore only fit (loosely at first) for about a month and a half.

Cathleen and her bat pumpkin were photobombed by Finn who was signing about the dogs he just heard.

So this is what Finn would look like with less hair.  

This is the first time Cathleen has let me braid her hair in a while.

I need more practice!

Finn showed me his idea for a complete meal...mac n cheese in my homebrew!
