Caturday: Claimed by Cat

Posted on by

So there Newbie is, minding her own business, drawing a board game idea and watching something on my tablet when Lady Grey waltzes up and says, “This looks like a dandy spot to sit.”

The sweet cat even loafed!

I’m pretty sure she hung out like that until I needed to interrupt them both for dinner.

Visual Arts Contest

Posted on by

School events in the post-covid era are still a little lacking during the 2021-2022 school year. Fully masked and vaccinated, Little Miss braved an art competition though.

And she was awarded two “Superior” ratings and one “Excellent” rating for her entries.

Basically the top marks she could get without then being sent to the state level competition!

Egg Coloring 2022

Posted on by

It was a very busy but fun Easter this last year. For some reason I feel like attributes were rushed but at the same time it feels a  little “less” this year. Maybe because TJ wasn’t with us. I mean, he stopped by, but it was the first family holiday that came about where he was fully and officially moved out.

They still got to show off their creations though.

New Year’s 2021: The Food Hovering

Posted on by

Naturally with so much food out, everybody has gathered around to graze and enjoy what’s there and available.

In Little Miss’ hands on the right you can also see that we’re slowly getting ready for the next part of the tradition: board game night.

Settling in With Christmas (2011)

Posted on by

With everything opened, it was time for the kids to scatter and go make use of their new items.

Thunderer greatly appreciated her new playdoh, for example.

Superman was caught actually reading too!

And I don’t care that it’s a comic. It’s still reading. Deal with it.

Halloween 2021: The Trio

And then there were three:

Oddly Newbie appears to have snuck past without getting a solo shot. My assumption is that they got tired of us taking pictures and the end result was us hurrying with this shot instead.

If you’re unfamiliar with Newbie’s costume, she’s Amity Blight from the Disney show Owl House.

We’d originally ordered her costume. In fact, her’s was the first costume we ordered. Thanks to supply chain issues though, it simply never arrived. Fortunately Snow/Little Miss stepped in and helped craft some pieces for Newbie to still pull off the look while she made the staff herself.
