Puppet Shows

 Today we went to our friend's house and made puppets using different forms. some made them with wood
and popsicle sticks while others used finger puppets and felt.


 They even made cool looking hand puppets with paper bags, markers, felt, glue and glitter. They had a blast each coming up with their own personalities, characteristics and looks.

 They decided on a show with a moral in it. They had a friend come over and play with them and they had a fight between mister monkey and snake boy. They worked together to show that no matter who or what you are that everyone can get along. A great lesson for everyone to learn. The show was really amazing and wonderful to watch.


Meagan made an avatar of herself...... a monkey!!
All in all, fun was had and good memories made.

Monkeys and Zelda!

Meagan has been starting to climb anything that she can see.  Trees, shopping cart stalls, even doorways.  She's a regular monkey, which should make her aunt Cheri and uncle Nate happy...


We also got the Nintendo 64 out of storage and Jacob has been obsessed with the Legend of Zelda: the Ocarina of Time.  He plays it all the time and when not playing it, he tries to get Meagan to play make-believe Zelda with him.  He imagines that he is Link saving the realm of Hyrule.  Reminds me of the days I spent playing army in the backyard.  Fun times...
