Harris Happenings

Things we've been doing to keep ourselves this long, not so cold January.

Need your kids to stay busy an hour, buy some of this stuff -it's like play doh but doesn't roam.



There is also this new app called Yakit that also entertained my kids one whole Sunday morning.

I've really have just loved spending time with my kids.  We play a board game almost every night. Lately it has been chess or Settlers. We always make sure we're wearing our Sunday best when playing chess.



It has really been entertaining. Sure! There has been a lot of stuff I should be doing, but I feel like my kids are growing up on me before my eyeballs and I don't mind taking a moment to stretch this age out before they move on. They seem to notice me spending the extra time with them too. So, much that they want to sleep in my room while Mat is out of town.  I do have to draw the line somewhere (and I usually do), but I was feeling lonely, and I welcomed the company.





Lastly, walking the parents. Have you seen it? The kids would secretly clip these lanyards on us and walk us while we weren't looking. Just silly!  They thought they were so tricky, and sometimes they were.

Post Christmas Gift Cards

Oh boy!  A few little purchases with some Christmas money and gift cards.

Becket: Anything Hero Factory--He would like to conquer them all. He can put one together as fast as you can say Jackie Robinson. So fast, that he won't even take off his jacket when he's home from school.  Must. Put. Together. Now.



Gretchen: Wiggle room for this car. She's always wanted one and now she can't even walk to the fridge anymore.  She has to use her car.



This is the current garage she parks it in.




Sometimes I jump on for a ride to the laundry room.



Micah: Lots of equestrian girls. They look funky to me, but she quietly brushes her doll (if you would call it that) while she sings the theme song.

Cafe Racer

Mat's dad passed away when he was around the age of 6. Sadly, it was a high speed crash on a motorcycle that took his life.  3 weeks before his passing, he purchased a motorcycle that has been collecting dust.  Not know what to do with it, Mat decided to strip it down and get it running again. The style is called, Cafe Racer.  Rev and Seth over at Salt City Builds have been working on it to get it going.



Jocelyn was in town and happen to go bomber on us and decided to have a sit.



Piece by piece it is coming together.  I've never seen Mat so excited about something.

Rest Easy

We can all rest easy now, especially since we know that this flat stanley version of dog is resting comfortably while micah is away at school.

What a fun treat to stumble upon in the afternoon after gathering laundry.
