We’ve been having a grand time this weekend, now that we are on the mend from our unfortunate tummy trouble.
I had planned to take a supply of paper and goodies up north so we could all make cards, but since this plan was derailed I sat down with my boys and handed them cards and bags to decorate. The decoration took a left turn when DS-6 decided he wanted to make sack puppets. We used monster-sized google eyes and the games began.
After making a supply of puppets, the boys started putting on puppet shows at 6, 8 at 9 p.m. daily. DS-6 was in charge of the performances while DS-11 made the scenery on a wipe board. The plot involved tornados, earthquakes, volcanoes and wild tigers. They are boys, after all.
My DS-ll decided the puppets needed a puppetratzzi, so he made a D-rebel for his puppet.
Meanwhile, David was upstairs trying to put the Christmas tree together and discovering that after eight years of service, it just wasn’t going to hold up anymore. So we made a midnight run to Walmart to pick up a new tree.
Good thing, too, because this morning we had about two inches of snow on the ground. So today’s activities will include decorating the Christmas tree, watching puppet shows, and playing in the snow.
It’s beginning to look a lot like winter.

Glad to hear you are feeling better,My daughter was sitting here and when she saw the bags,She said."Hey can i make one today?" :) They are to cute!
Sounds like a lot of fun. I'm looking forward to when my kids can do fun stuff like that. Love the pic of the leaf in the snow btw. Great!
Alleen, I'm so glad that you are feeling better! Great puppets! It never ceases to amaze me how little minds can be so creative! We're too uptight as adults thinking about it to just have it come that simply! Keep on the mend!! Have a great Sunday!

Oh my goodness! I loved your pictures and stories about your boys! Cute cute cute! And I seriously laughed at the earthquakes and wild tigers part. I think there will be stories like this on my blog someday in the future. It seems to be a boy thing. ;)
