It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like
Did you think I was going to say Christmas?
Yesterday morning was all about creating a web around the front porch. I wanted to do it while Simon was at school so he could come home to a surprise.
I started with a bunch of bags of webbing from Target.
It went up pretty well. One side is definitely better than the other as I got the hang of stretching it out. I used about six bags and have some left over for the inevitable updates it will need since I did it a couple weeks before Halloween.
I brought my computer outside so I could do a bit of work too - the weather was awesome. Lily was helping of course.
After I finished I waited inside by the window so I could see Simon's reaction as he got off the bus.
"Where did that web come from?" he wanted to know first thing.
One brief touch.
And then he was off to check out the Lego catalog that came in the mail on Monday.
Hilarious, his reaction definitely shows he is moving forward to becoming a teenager. That will be a time (and I speak of experience) that you think you know your children.........NOT, their reactions will never be what you expect.

Great surprise for Simon! Just put the same webbing on my bushes in my front yard a couple of days ago. So fun!
Love the bats & pumpkins on your porch, too. Beautiful home.
It inspires me to see pics of yourself that you take with the timer. I keep forgetting to do this. Thanks for the reminder. Much needed.

We received our Lego Catalog as well on Monday. The four boys have not stopped talking or researching basically since it arrived in the mail. The first thing they want to do when breakfast and morning chores are completed then later when homework and afternoon chores have been completed! Legos are a huge hit in this house and great homeschooling tools. Have a great week!
