Paper Airplanes and a trip to the Park

So Ryan came to me this afternoon, he handed me a piece of printer paper and said,"Mommy make me an airplane!" OF COURSE! It's such a simple request...HA! After googling how to make a paper airplane [because I was determined to make something cooler than the regular ones] I came across several sites that said...THIS was the BEST paper airplane! I quickly skimmed through the pics and thought,"I got this!" little did I know...the pics I had just skimmed over were only directions 1-12 of 35!!! Eventually I had to turn to the demo video which is 5 minutes long! 5 minutes long and that guy knows what he was doing! Just imagine how long it took me to figure it out...But, as advertised...it's a pretty good flyer! Fred [who tried to dissect it's aerodynamics] was even impressed. Chalk one up to Mommy!

Incase you want to give it a try...

Today was a random day all around for toys...first, entertainment with a piece of flying paper...and then this...

Forget the thousands of stacking toys, Lego's & Mega Blocks we have in this house...He wanted to play with Dixie cups!

[check out Lambie sneaking into the action...here comes trouble]

ARGH...it's Lambie-zilla!

The aftermath, Dixie cup carnage!

So basically, with all that happened today it has made me realise my kids are not technology dependent..even though they have tv's in their rooms & Wii's & the latest in BlueRay at their fingertips...they are more than content with good ole fashion paper & rocks! LOL It really does make a Mama proud!

Fred left for work around 3, because he is flying nights tonight...so the lovins and I took a trip to Forsyth, even though it was still super hot out!
