I made a second bat. The only thing I did differently was add some wire to his wings to make them sort of poseable. (I was also more careful to sew his head on straighter, the last one leaned a little to the side.)
I was sewing him in bed the other night with Neely, who was watching Kiki's Delivery Service, and Paige, who was reading her first Magic Treehouse book to me. Mrs. Arnold recommended it for her, so Jess got it on the Kindle for her to try. She really liked it. She read the first 3 chapters to me out loud, and did so well, and only needed help with a couple of words. I noticed she even tries to use different tones, depending on what the characters are saying, which I thought was impressive.
I also started a mummy, and have it about half made. Caso's pretty excited about that one. He keeps asking me when I'll work on it again. He also started drawing mummies for all of us.
Even a Gia mummy.
He's still spending LOTS and LOTS of time drawing lately, and I love it. Today it's only 9:30 and he's already done lots of robots...
....and this one of "the guys in the boat who were scared of the storm and then Jesus made it go away so they weren't scared any more."
He also drewlots more bombermen on the sidewalk last night, while singing a song he made up, but I got video of that, which I'll try to post later. :)
Jess had flag football practice last night, so while he was gone we played outside, went for a little walk, and then did a little skeleton craft I saw in a magazine. Just Q-tips, cottonballs, and glue. We did paint on eyes and a mouth at the end though.
Caso's was cute.
Paige's was too, and then she got creative and added crazy polkadotted cottonball hair. :) It reminds me a bit of Richard Simmons.

Paige is way too smart. I'm writing her in on the Presidential election ballot. I think she'd sort things out in no time.
