These Cub Scouts sure look like superheroes to me.

Santa Claus is Coming to Town

Our ward Christmas party was last night, and Santa made an appearance.
"You'll shoot your eye out, Kid."
I'm very curious about this conversation between Santa and Rebecca, but I was too far away to overhear it.
Emily asked Santa for tickets to "Wicked." Does that put her on the naughty list?

Prairie Dog Bones

This post requires a little more explanation than usual. We went to a prairie dog field near the library to learn about prairie dogs. We measured the openings of their burrows and listened to their little chirping noises. We watched them run for their burrows as we approached. But then, the kids noticed something we hadn't counted on: prairie dog bones.

We collected a whole bunch of prairie dog bones, and the kids brought them home. They washed them, sorted them, examined them under magnifying glasses, and tried to figure out how the bones fit together to make a whole prairie dog skeleton. Then they wrote up their conclusions. Now the bones are all sitting in a bowl in the basement, abandoned. Do you think the hauntings are about to begin?

On the Ladder

When your husband is up on a ladder, it's a bit disconcerting to hear, "Oops. I was cutting the very board I was leaning against."

This is the demolition for the new and much-anticipated Reading Nook.

Happy Halloween

The butterfly fairy, the skeleton, and Cyndi Lauper assess heir booty.

Girls just wanna have fun.

No arm bones?

Cyndi Lauper's agent poses with two fairies, a bunny, and a kitty cat.

That's a playground.

That's a creek. I guess I should have taken these after the sun came up.

That's our front yard.
