Our Indo Life: These Days

These days we spend most of our time at the house or at the swimming pool. But here are some of the ways we've been keeping busy.

Paisley came up with the best way to cut onions without crying.

Celebrating Paisley's 7 and a half birthday with Mickey (kinda) pancakes.

Truett loves making comics. This is on of my favorites. The superhero is FingerMan and the villain it ToeMan!

Playing with rice krispies in the front yard.

I'm not even sure about this one!

A walk to McDonalds for ice cream. We waited outside while Michael went in to buy it.

This is how he reads.

Yep, we've done some schoolwork, too.

I don't exactly remember what was going on in this picture. They moved the couch, the drawers, and a ladder over to the upstairs balcony just to look out.

I love my Paisley!

I'm pretty sure he drew a muscle man on this! ha!

This boy loves to invent things! Here's his drinking hat.

Paisley and I had fun decorating some cookies.

In June, we finally let the kids play with some neighbors. Playing outside is good for the soul!

Our 10 year anniversary was not quite the celebration that we wanted, but it was still special!

We collected food and money for those in our ministry who need a little help these days. Truett asked if he could give some of his "buddies" away to the people that helped donate.

These kids love building and creating! We have some kind of palm tree at our house that needed a trim. So, the kids took all the palm branches and made a hide out. "T & P's T-P (teepee)"

You can't put on too many dresses up clothes at once.

Truett wanted to make a flour bomb. We went through a couple of different variations. They first but it in a bottle and squirted it out. They then shaved some chalk, put it in a sock and threw it at each other.

The kids found worms in my Patio Oasis and mad homes for them.

I wish I had a better picture, but this is a plastic string hung over the railing that Paisley is swinging on.

They also found some lanyard string, looped it over the balcony, and tied it on to some wood. Instant (and dangerous) swing.

Next was a tightrope.

Homemade tetherball game. It was fun, but I had to hold it since it didn't stand up on its own. We stopped after I got hit in the face a few times.

That's Paisley's chariot. They made a harness for Truett to pull her. This was the first version. Truett made a second version and then had me run up and down the street pulling him. We got some strange looks!

Crazy hair day at (Zoom) school.

The kids did research projects at school. Truett researched inventors and Paisley researched the ocean. They both had to present their findings. Truett made a website (https://sites.google.com/view/truettswebsiteaboutinventers/). Paisley made a poster with all of the facts she learned under flaps. They both presented them very well!
