Pool Noodle Fun

I saw a Pintrest posting for nifty uses for pool noodles. I decided to reinvent my old noodles into swords. I'm relatively certain no one will be hurt by them, they have no pointy ends and they were essentially free! It does require duct tape and pool noodles!

Basically cover the end with two small pieces and wrap tape round the base. I made a handle out of cardstock more duct tape to make it easier to go in their hands.

It's the first time I've needed to declare swords off the table at dinner! I'm anticipating a mighty fight after dinner!

Playing with your food

We'd like to demonstrate this stellar example of playing with your food.

This is a carefully sculpted dog bone made from a baby carrot. Way to go Sydney. She ate it after she finished.

Can't believe it worked

Emily came to out door, knocked and called "Mom, you in there?"

"nope", I replied.

She responded with "ok" and left! Hehehe

Blond Jokes

We were talking at dinner tonight about hair color and how Karl and I had blond hair as kids but brown hair now. Karl said "I still think of myself as a blond."
(Hehe! There is a lot you can do with that.) So I replied, "Did you hear the one about the blond who sold their car for gas money?"

Karl laughed! Emily instantly wanted to know why. Sydney also laughed and explained the joke to her.
