Photos: Graves of people I love

0

This might be a bit odd but I took photos of the graves of people I love. Hayley and I went to the graveyard to check it out, remarkably she wasn’t afraid, just curious.

Photos: The Truthtellers Club

0

With kids that fib (which most do at some point), a great idea that we got was the “truthtellers club”. Basically you make two boxes – one for the “truthtellers club” and one for what we call “the fibtellersclub”.

We got a ton of art supplies and two boxes. We made one wonderful and happy, the other dark and bleak. Hayley got to made the decision on what goes where, etc. I helped her with it some of course. Then you make figures of each of the people in the house with their photos.

You put it somewhere reasonably visible someone lies, you silently just move them from the “truthtellers club” to the “the fibtellers club”.


both clubs…

When the UNC women’s soccer game was canceled, Hayley and I wandered around Chapel Hill. We shopped and got her shirt at Shrunken Head with her name on it, we went to Gimghoul Castle and goofed off.
