Elliot's Code of Laws and Other Antics

Elliot laid out an in depth code of laws regarding his bedroom which was codified in a chain of index cards taped to his door handle. A translation of my favorite section reads "Only kids allowed no grownups allowed. This all does not matter at night." That last little loophole was added so that I could tuck him in at night. 


A ghost tapping your head- the ultimate punishment!

Aaron and the kids spent a Saturday helping Stephen dig holes for his new fruit trees (avocado, peach, and two mango!) They tried wetting the ground to make it easier to dig. Spoiler: It was still not easy to dig. Stephen eventually borrowed a jackhammer. Anyway, the kids found out that they could make awesome silhouettes on the wall by spraying each other with water.  

These two kids often request to eat lunch outside like a picnic.

Yummy yummy pomegranates! We got maybe 20 this year. All the time spent nurturing our fruit trees would make it hard to ever leave this house. 

Non-newtonian fluids + small children = long clean up times. But the kids had a blast so there's that. 

We bought a set of resistance bands! I love them. We keep it anchored to the bottom of our bedroom door, and both Aaron and I do some reps as part of our bedroom routine.
