When We're bored we do random things...

For quite some time Will has been begging anyone who would listen to help him rebuild his lego train. The broken pieces of the train were mixed in with the millions of legos we have so it was a project that was going to take a long time so it kept getting put off. Since it is Christmas/winter time I decided at the beginning of December that I would spend a day a find the missing pieces and put it together. For the first hour Will was ecstatic helping me sort, but when we both realized that the trains weren't missing "just a few" pieces he lost interest while I was determined to finish. Two days later I'm proud to say I found every last piece of that dang thing and it is a toy that has been played with constantly Bo helped me the last hour of building because by that time I was going crazy not noticing pieces right in front of my face.

 Randomly last week Will asked me if I could paint his face blue with nothing better to do I did it thinking it was a funny request. After I was done he asked if we could watch Megamind. Once the paint started itching he asked me if he could be "William again".

And last but not least Bo took a geology class this semester and I helped him out quite a bit so I had volcanoes on the brain. Sometime in November Will and I were bored and found a Volcano how to on pinterest so we tried it out. Will asked me as we were mixing up the salt dough if he could do it all by himself since usually I'm pretty controlling in the kitchen he was really happy when I said yes. So he decided the dough should be speckled with all the food coloring we own which is why it kind of looks like vomit. Enjoy the video!

Thanksgiving

I found this thankful wreath on pinterest and decided to make one for Will since we always write down what we are thankful every day in November. Its funny the things that he comes up with like the first thing he was thankful for was Starfall.com and the second was Sushi, but he also said he was thankful for Primary and family so it all evens out. We went to Roseburg for thanksgiving and it was a lot of fun with lots of good things to eat Bo's Aunt made this amazing homemade mac and cheese Will was really excited about it. Another thing that Will got excited about was that during dessert another kid showed up and after the initial shyness he was running around and laughing with her. Bo's family doesn't have any kids Will's age so it was a nice change. 

These are the only photos I got of Thanksgiving because I was playing with a bored 4 year old most of the time.

Halloween

This year we let Will decide what to dress up as at first it was an angry bird so I searched the Internet for a pattern to make our costumes finally found the perfect one and was about to purchase the fabric when he decided that he wanted to be Blu from the movie Rio. Since he was Blu he decided that I needed to be Linda and Bo needed to be "The Doctor" so thats what we went as. I used fabric for Will's costume out of a huge box of fabrics Bo's Grandma Nyleen found in her garage so it was Free I'm pretty proud of it because I didn't use a pattern just figured it out as I went. I was very lucky to find Bo's and my t-shirts and Bo's fake glasses in the Clearance section of Target and then I did freezer paper stencils on them for the logo so we spent a grand total of $7 on Halloween this year.

This is the inspiration for the yellow shirts

Will did Trick or Treating with his preschool on Thursday and the Trunk or Treat at the Church on Saturday so when actual Halloween came up I asked him if he wanted to go trick or treating and he said "No too much!" so we stayed home. The Sunday before Halloween we craved pumpkins we ended up with 4 pumpkins because Will brought one home from preschool. It was a good thing because one of them somehow rotted from the inside out so we couldn't carve it without it completely falling apart I gave Will a butter knife and let him dig holes into it while we carved.
