Corn Maize Answers



- Baby girl was the first one to lead. She led us straight to the bathrooms on the outer perimeter of the maze, and of course she had to check it out!
-Hubby was the one who got us out of the maze. We sat on a bench in the middle of the maze for about ten minutes as he "scouted" for the exit.
-Big girl wanted to surrender early so she could play in the inflatable bounce house and slides.
-Little Man was barefoot the entire time. He refuses to keep shoes on those little sausage like feet.
-97 minutes, with two big breaks for the kids.

* Really great day for us. The maze forces you to work as a team to get out. It was a great way to learn patience, leadership, and observation. I would love to challenge some of you back home to see what family would be the first out ( I'm talking to you little sister!)  

*Not a good day for Tiger fans at all. I turned the game on when I knew I should have just scrapbooked or cleaned the house!

Corn Maize


Corn Maize Quiz
1. Who was the first leader?
2. Who finally got us out of the maize?

4. Who didn't walk a single step for the entire thing?
5. How long did it take us to wind around the entire seven acres?
Answers later. . .

We skipped the first half of the LSU game solving the maze. Should I turn the TV on to watch the second half?

From the Faire



Hubby took big girl and baby girl to the Renaissance Faire last weekend. They had a GREAT time and promised that when Buddy felt better we would all go. Hubby also found out that baby girl is really developing her comic timing. Whilst waiting for the joust to start, the costumed peasants work the crowd up, having them cheer for their knight and discourage the other knights. In their section the peasant was trying his hardest for people to respond and shouts out, " If you yell the loudest for your knight, free beer for everyone!" After all in the section yelled, screamed, and stomped themselves to a frenzy, it got very quiet and baby girl yells to the peasant as loud as she can,
 "And what about free food!" 
Classic.
P.S. The girls are holding their "hands" dipped in wax. It was Mom's only request. They came out so cute!!!!

Scrapbooking





Thank you Coach Miles and LSU. No tears were shed last night over the game. Now if I could just stop worrying about Tricky Nick I'll be okay. 
I have been really enjoying the design class I am taking at Big Picture Scrapbooking. It is just what I need to help me plan out my space and get organized. Here are a few of them. Today I hope I'll be able to go out and get some paint for the room. Being organized is bringing out the decorator in me!
