It's not NY

but the Wiz is getting some adventures, too.

I took him here:We wandered around (somehow we didn't get a map). It was probably the best way for us to do this. No real agenda, just a long walk. It was hot, but we were fine.He was able to pet the miniature horses. He decided this one was a girl. (It wasn't.)
This was his favorite horse from the breed parade (we went to both the morning and afternoon ones--different horses). It's a Scottish Cob.
He liked to stand by the life-size statues. He thought they were huge.

And finally, I told The Wiz if gas prices went up much more we'd be getting some horses and taking one of these to Washington. He did not believe me. He didn't believe me when I explained that the pioneers took them from places like Kentucky to places like Kansas and Washington. After all, why would they take something that little all the way from Kentucky? Where would all the stuff go? And why would the horses do that?

We ended the day drinking blue slurpees. I haven't had one for ages. :)

He drives me up the wall

and now he can drive himself up the wall too.He can make it up to the top!

Game Boy is now in NY visiting his aunt and uncle with his grandmother. The Wiz misses him, and this is the result. (I think his medication allowed him to figure out how to do this. I think this is good?)

One more room

ready to show.Game Boy and I finished his room today. He cleaned up and tossed, I went after and organized and vacuumed (and tossed a couple more things). I still need to shampoo the carpet, but it's definitely not embarrassing anymore.

He has space! He has a lot of stuff. Wow.

BBF, can you believe his room? I think the last time you saw it, it probably could have been classified as a hazardous waste area. We're getting there.

Tiny Thing

I actually started and finished a knitting project today. After dinner, and before bed! The Collar's nearly finished with his usual body wash, and doesn't want to buy any before the Great Trek West. He has some bars of soap, so he requested one of these. I made a bunch last summer, and he decided he wanted one too.

This one's a little different because it is reverse stockinette. Since I'm lazy, I didn't actually knit reverse stockinette, I just turned it inside out.

*************
Game Boy's room is much cleaner. It's not finished yet but it should be finished by tomorrow afternoon. We're almost finished with this stuff. Just a few little and/or easy things to do.

I hate this part the most of moving.

Completion

First, Game Boy has completed elementary school. Friday was the last day for both boys, and it was 5th grade awards, honors, and graduation. Game Boy brought home eight awards. Most of the time it was the same 5 girls and him. :) Fifth grade girls are much taller than the boys especially when they are wearing heels, so we saw why he thinks he's short. He earned two awards that we were really shocked about: he earned second place for AR (accelerated reader) points for his class (he didn't like to read until Percy Jackson in April) and he won the award for Social Studies.

I also completed a laundry bag for Game Boy. (Please ignore his messy, messy closet.) I have also made one for the Wiz, but his was first and has a lot more mistakes. I'll let you see this one.The main fabric is green (of course!) with very happy frogs. The contrasting fabric looks like green frog eggs to me. The inside lining is polka dots. It should hold a pretty good amount of laundry. Maybe I'll be able to go in to their rooms now and just grab the bag. Or maybe not.
