New Airplane

A has been reading about, um, airplanes.






He really wanted an airplane that would shoot missiles. We didn't get him one.




The plane didn't have any controls, so it made random turns.








Also, it was powered by an electric motor, so it could fly far distances. Really.

Inserting the Tree

Yesterday we got a tree.



Today we put it in the stand. We'll decorate it in about a week.

Making Cookies

Finished Jack-o-Lantern

Carving a Pumpkin

M decided that A could carve a pumpkin tonight.

We're toasting pumpkin seeds even now...

Boat Building

Making Christmas

Okay... in what possibly might be Tactical Video Error Number Three, we just let A see the first half of Tim Burton's Nightmare Before Christmas. A is now vowing to create hand-made Christmas presents with fangs.

I am secretly pleased that NBC is getting such a good reception, although A) it's probably for the wrong reasons (monsters! making scary gifts!) and B) I expect we might be hearing about it at the next parent-teacher conference.

New Web Cam
