B's New Kite

You might remember that last May, B wanted a kite early one morning, so I made her one. I always said I was going to buy one, and I finally got around to it. When we were at Target last week, Mike picked up a little owl kite. B has been waiting for a windy day, and yesterday the weather obliged - a bit anyway. Mike got the kite above the house. Mike also almost got the kite stuck in a tree

I swear, the snow fence is never going away.

Shadow. She needs to be groomed.

Mike got it close to the power lines too.

This has been a very lazy weekend. We didn't do much. A visit with our neighbors, a bit of yard work, and laundry. I am still doing laundry from the trip. I think anything that goes on holiday with us, must be washed when we get home. Weird, but true.

I plan to be a more interesting blogger in the future. Either when Charlie starts napping better or she goes to Montessori. It is hard to type with one hand.

B Flies a Kite

This morning, about 6:45, B asked me for a kite.  NOw, since I am enamored with my kid, I give her almost anything she wants.  Since Target wasn't opened, and I wasn't showered, I made a kite out of straws, a plastic bag, some yarn, and some curling ribbon.

We took it out around 7:15 and it flew!  Not as well as I would have liked, but it wasn't very windy.  Still, it was fun.  B and I took turns running across the yard to get the kite to fly.

We went out again this afternoon.  It was cloudy and the wind was just right.  It flew oh, so well.

The plastic bag I used says "Reduce and Recycle."

Am I green or what?
