Why do boys get so much delicious delight out of kicking their shoes off into the air while trying to kick a ball? It always starts off as an accident. They are truly trying to kick a ball and-oops-their shoe flies off. Then it seems as if no one can keep their shoes on whether trying to kick the ball or not. I have seen it in my own children and in students of various ages. It doesn’t matter if they are three years old or in the sixth grade. Watching your shoe fly through the air is hilarious.

The view from our front hallway into Sean’s office where Sean and the boys like to bond over their favorite game which we call knights. Honestly, I have no idea what the real name of the game is, we just call it knights and the boys love to spend time with Sean playing this game. This has been going on for months. I have no idea what they’ll do when they finally defeat the dragon or whatever the goal of the game is. They’ll probably just start over. 🙂
Okay, not really, but I got your attention, didn’t I? The library had an Asian Festival today and I got a Mehendi “tattoo”.
Before it dried….
the final product.
The boys had a good time, too. Of course, the batteries on my camera died while we were there, so I missed a lot of cool pics, but they had lots of crafts for kids, a Chinese dragon dance, various Asian foods to sample, a really cool Ki Daiko performance and much, much more.
Korean Masks
Their names in Chinese
This is an example of a Ki Daiko performance, but it’s not the group we saw perform. You can see why the boys really liked it. Very cool.
Colm had his Quad Helix Expander put in this week. It looks like a miniature medieval torture device. He has done really well with it so far. He can’t chomp on ice or any hard, sticky, gooey foods/candy for six months though. That’s going to be hard for a kid who LOVES hard candy, especially lollipops. It makes him drool a lot more and he is sometimes harder to understand, but they said that is common for the first few days as he gets used to it. Now we get to go back to the dentist’s once a month and have it “adjusted”. This will gradually make his palette larger and allow more room for his permanent teeth when those come in. Hopefully he will get it taken out sometime around the first of November or sooner.
