Christian's Lego gun designs
Christian's been designing his own guns for a few months now, and he seems to be quite talented at it! What's even more impressive is that he doesn't use any pre-made kits with instructions. Instead, he uses spare Lego parts to create unique designs. Furthermore, he doesn't even look at gun pictures to copy; he simply recalls the ones he's seen in movies. All in all, he is a pretty impressive kid!
Black pistol
Revolver
Rounded middle where the bullets go
Gatling Gun
End of gun spins round
Machine Gun
Clip feeds on the other side

Sniper
Scope on top. He used the parts from a Star Wars space craft engine. Pretty cool!
Shot Gun
His longest gun. Masking tape helps hold it together.

The little things in life
Maddy has convinced Sam there is a monster in the closet. Now he always points to the closet and says "monster scary."
Christian has been busy making zombie movie sets with his legos. He wants to make a still animation movie! This week he zombied up some of his lego guys by painting parts of them red (blood).
The first week after vacation bible school is always tough! The kids had been going, going, going all week, and the week prior we were at the beach. So "I'm bored" is all I've been hearing about the past couple of days.
We've been trying to grow grass in the back yard. Daneo our great dane, and our little mutt Lady are not enjoing their dog run! But since they are the reason our back yard has looked like a horse patty they'll have to get used to it. I want my back yard back!!
Speaking of Daneo, I think he has hip dysplasia or arthritis. He doesn't like to take long walks and this gait seems a little off. Twards the end of our walks he sometimes leans up against me, w/ a 120lb dog it's quite annoying! But he is almost 7 yrs old and great danes don't usually live far past 7yrs. Just makes me sad to think he might not have too many more years left in him :(
Maddy has been asking me to sign her up for horse back ridding lessons, so I think I'll look into that tomorrow. And then in the fall we're back to gymnastics!

Future winner of hot dog eating contests!
This adorable video shows Samuel enjoying powdered doughnuts, eating like a chipmunk. And, yes, I know the Heimlich maneuver!
