May 2012 part 1

May 5th Fathers and Sons- this is how Jr's hands looked when he came home.

while the boys were away we had a girl party, with chick food, artichokes, hummus, and spinach dip we watched movies, sewed monsters, painted nails and went for a walk.


Gordon fell asleep quickly after the boys came back. His fingers are covering his very buggery nose.
May 5th was the night of a supermoon. We used our new fancy telescope and looked at the bright big moon
May 9th Susan wanted Troll hair so I gave the troll puffy pigtails and Susan matching hair style.
