Zach's Spelling

Zach's spelling just cracks me up. For instance, S-N-O-D spells 'snowed' and L-I-T spells 'light'. But this one is my favorite:

Can you guess what he's trying to spell? (Don't forget the G hidden in the spiral binding).

It's been an eventful couple of weeks, but not necessarily eventful enough to blog about. So here's a post with some of our comings and goings.

• Halloween. Zach loved Halloween. He picked out his own costume this year - Iron Man. Halle had no choice so she was a lady bug. Both loved collecting candy. Zach would have kept collecting candy from the neighbors, but his old mom got cold.

Zach and Halle lining up their Halloween loot. This activity composed most of the morning following Halloween.

• Both cars are in the garage - quite a feat with all the "stuff" we have. We have boxes labeled "Trisha's Dolls" and "Brandon's Keepsakes", as well as "Ostriches" and "Purple Plasic Dishes" . You never know when you're going to need your purple plastic dishes from college.
  
• We've had a lot of this:

Zach is way into playing Brandon's instruments. We've got a whole bandload hidden in the basement. (I'm beginning to think we might be pack rats). Zach's favorite thing is to play and he's quite good. Not good at sounding good, but good at making lots of loud noise that sounds a lot like an angry elephant. This activity is strickly a basement activity and is strictly one that Dad supervises. I stay upstairs with my bottle of Excedrin.

• We've also had a lot of this: Halle is our little diva. She loves looking pretty. Halle loves sunglasses, necklaces, bracelets, earrings, shoes, having her hair done, makeup, rings, etc. Halle is a friendly gal and will visit any lady who has pretty accessories. She walks up them to them and says pretty, while reaching for their jewelry. Halle always ends up with it on. She's got it down to quite a science.
  
• I joined a gym. This is momentous news because I am cheap. I have always done my exercising outside, so a gym is a new experience. I get bored running on a treadmill and I don't like being sweaty in such close proximity to other people, but I think I could become a gym rat.


• Halle continues to add to her vocabulary. One of my favorite things she says is, "Hi, Moose". It cracks me up because she says moose with a little of a lisp.
  

We're happy. We're good. Who could ask for more!?!
