New Year's Eve and Garret gets his turn at the "experiments"

The boys spent some quality time with grandpa today. He took Garret up to the gas station, where they were repairing some trucks, Garret loved that. While he was gone, Lucas and I did science experiments...lots of fun too. Grandpa told them that if they weren't good he was going to send them to boot camp...they thought that was great and wanted to go right now...lol....after Garret got back home Bill took Lucas for a walk up town and they were looking for the boot camp, but they didn't find it... We also made some Christmas ornaments for next year...I don't know about them, but I'm having a great time.

Day 2

Christmas break with Garret and Lucas

We made our own playdough out of kool-aid today.The boys loved it.

Garret loved smooshing the playdough to make it pliable.

Lucas really loved the roller thing...

Having fun together.

Lucas made a super hero magic bracelet, so he told me!
