Family Fun

So Eliza and Huck have both been talking about what they are going to be for Halloween this year. More Eliza than Huck but, I decided that I needed a break from hearing about when I was going to make her Word Girl costume and Huckleberry’s Captain Huggy Face costume.
After some help with Ira on drawing the Word Girl symbol and me finding the perfect lighting bolt I put the craft robo to work. I bought some material called Siser at Regional Supply and here is what I came up with. They can now be Word Girl and Captain Huggy Face anytime the shirts are clean. They have already been washed twice.

The back of the shirts.

Word up it’s Word Girl.

and her sidekick monkey Captain Huggy Face, almost renamed as Captain Hucky Face

I feel that I owe a friend of mine an apology about how silly I thought she was for liking Word Girl. So to Lori I say I am sorry and your are right there is nothing quite like a good episode of Word Girl, especially with Lady Redundant Woman. We love Word Girl. For those of you that have no idea what I am talking about you can find Word Girl on PBS.

During the spring I signed the kiddos up for TaeKwonDo taught by Mr. Jeff. Eliza was so excited because Mr. Jeff used to teach every Monday instead of Mr. D. She likes Mr. D but, I think that she really liked Mr. Jeff and was sad when he could not teach every week anymore. The kids had a lot of fun and I think did rather well considering it was there first time and class was only 30 minutes.
I would pick them up get them changed into their gis. I was lucky enough to be able to sit through the classes and watch them progress. On June 2nd they held a demonstration for parents and grandparents. Here are a few pictures of the demonstration.




They were sure excited to get their metals. They wore them for about 2 days.
