Finalization Day

Sweet Baby's adoption was finalized in a big, noisy court proceeding along with 17 other families in a room full of babies and kids. It was a long, crazy, but wonderful day! My girly was so good, even with no naps and so much waiting for our turn. We were very blessed to have many loved ones there to celebrate with us. Unfortunately, with all the toddler chasing, we missed getting everyone in the pictures :(

Now for a late lunch to celebrate!

All tuckered out

We were so glad to have each one of you there~

it made our sweetie's day so special!

Thanks for sharing her day with us!

Best Kites EVER!

The wind picked up around here this afternoon so the big kids ran inside and whipped up these awesome kites. Again. For the hundredth time.

These are the best kites ~ they fly so high, so fast!

And the very best part is that you fly them for hours, then toss them. No more pointy parts from old, bent kites sticking you from under the kids' beds, no more flappy kite parts popping out every time you open a closet, and no more ratty, twisted kites taking up space in the garage.

Sometimes we decorate them before we fly, but often the kids are just so excited we slap the kites together, then take our neat little white kites and go for it! Notice I say, "we", because the adults simply cannot help getting involved in this little project. These are just so much fun! Let me know if you try them!

Note to other crafty, perfectionist moms: Do not, I repeat, do not try to improve on this kite. It works great the way it is designed, even though it is so simple you will want to add reinforcing tape and use larger paper and make the tail longer and , etc, etc, etc. I speak from experience~ just make it and fly it!
