Paper cup binoculars

When Logan got home from school today he decided he wanted to make binoculars, and in the usual order of things, the other boys joined right in on the fun. I'm glad Logan is full of creative idea's, because I haven't had too many of them these days. Dan and I are getting closer to welcoming baby Ellie. I decided to let Dan have the final say on what her full name would be, as long her nick name was Ellie, since that's the name Logan has had picked since I was pregnant with Lincoln. He's wanted a little sister for a long time. Some of our options are Eliza, Elisabeth, Eliana, Elana and Emeline. I'm not so sure about the last one, but I like all of the others. Logan's loving school, Lincoln loves being the big guy around the house and Owen is still as happy and cute as ever. Dan's starting school again (one more semester to go!) and I'm hanging in there. Life is pretty good I'd say! Here's a few shots from the binocular spectacular today.


What goes along with paper cup binoculars?
Paper plate art of course!

Testing, testing.

It was hard to get Logan to open his eye for this picture. He was anticipating the flash, and kept closing it.

Don't they look so happy? He he he.

Not forget about Owen!

Elisabeth might be interesting since there are already two in the family (although we do haven't different nicknames).

I love Ellie! And all those names are cute - I have a good friend with an Emeline. I am so excited for you guys. Four is fun!

Great pictures Becki! We saw your Mom at "meet the teacher" night at school. She's so excited for your new little one. I LOVE the name Ellie, sooo cute. Getting close now, right?

You're such a great Mom! I always feel bad when I see moms letting their kids be super crafty, because whenever we try the crafty thing, the kids think they can be crafty with EVERYTHING...like their clothing...or the dog. The other day, Grace discovered that she could color with marker on the dishwasher and it would wipe right off. I let her do that for half and hour...and I was trying to wash purple ink off her body for the next three days. We'll be avoiding that activity in the future :)

Your boys are so handsome! Are we still arranging all 3 marriages? How are you feeling? Owen is such a doll...and those beautiful blue eyes! Have you convinced Dan to move to AZ? It's all sorts of fun down here! ;o)

Cute cute cute! How are those 3 boys going to handle a girl? Good luck picking names - Ellie is so cute, so whichever one will be great.
