Robot love

Nate got a Wall-E remote control robot for Christmas.  He really loves it.  He even sleeps with it.  Dean has already had to repair the cord connection because of all the love it gets. 

IMG_0357

If you've seen the movie, you know that Wall-E has a girlfriend named Eve.  Nate was really wanting an Eve toy, too.  So what does a good daddy do?  Makes one - out of a boiled egg.  It looked just like her and he LOVED it.  There was lots of giggles.  It didn't last long (got a little stinky and I was terrified of a break), but it was worth it.

Like a lot of Marielle's photography, I'm not sure what is going on in this picture, but you can see Dean carefully holding Eve in his hand.

Random happenings...

IMG_0701

It's been a great week.  Everyone healing up and hairing over, as Dean's dad used to say.  I subbed 3 times at the high school and was pleasantly surprised at the respect I was shown by the students.  Nate is feeling fine and has been to school every day this week!  Amazing.  I'm not sure what these two were up to in the picture above but I like it.

Dean's Mom's birthday was last week and we had a small party with Dean's family.  I made the cake per Ginger's instructions.  A good time was had by all.

IMG_1396

In the last few weeks, Nate (aka - Spidey) has been playing with a little lego man hooked to a little lego rope.  The problem is that he loves to swing it around and around really fast and launch it into space.  We have all gotten a surprise crack to the back of the head at one time or another.  This time it was Marielle's turn.  Nate is pointing to the lego guy stuck in his sister's hair.

He thought it was hilarious.  Marielle - not so much.

WARNING: DISGUSTING PHOTO AHEAD

Tuesday night I was cooking a large pot of rice and neglected to let the steam rise before I stirred it. Do not try this at home.
