I've always loved Max from Where the Wild Things Are...even before the movie came out. So that's what I wanted to be for Halloween. During the day I was a skeleton with my baby brother and when I went to trick-or-treat I put on my Max costume.
After mama wrote and hid clues that led to a special prize, Bampa and I set out to work with our detective gear. The clues led me all around the house and after a lot of hard detective work we ended up at the bathtub where my prize, a toy shaving kit, was waiting for me.
This weekend was a special kite-flying weekend in our town. To celebrate I made a kite at our library in an art class and later that day I flew my kite with a Veteran of War. When it was time to go I got a little American flag and a certificate for flying my kite.
I'm a homespun, handmade, home school kind of mom. I know my limits though and sometimes it's a macaroni and cheese kind of day (and I'm not talking from scratch.) I just thought you should know what I've been up to these days.
