Max has always loved scotch tape.  He has made tons of guns and belts and boxes and more out of paper and scotch tape. 

Recently, he graduated to combining other materials with scotch tape and he wanted the world to see his creation.

I recognize that the shoulders are pencil sharpeners, the left foot is a checker, and his fingers are paper (can’t quite give up the paper).  Who knows where the rest of this Franken-monster comes from?

My kids like the new carpet we had put in the loft a few weeks ago.  They use it for ‘sledding’ on cardboard down the stairs.

And for resting when the sledding is over.

Here are their ‘birthday’ pictures (sort of!).  Enjoy!

In the below video where Lucy is singing in a yellow dress, here are the words of her song (for those of you who don’t understand Klingon 🙂 –

“Let no one look down on your youthfulness, but rather in speech, conduct, love, faith and purity; show yourself an example to those who believe.” 

I’m sorry that I can’t remember the exact reference – but it was the Apostle Paul’s words to Timothy, to give him encouragement as he was a very young missionary.

I (Toby) learned that song when I was 11, at Forest Home.  Neat how some things stick, isn’t it?
