This is the upper view of the village. In a while, we will build the castle, which will be really cool. I forgot the name of the castle...let me go ask Will. Gamewell...that's it. We started to design King Arthur's castle but after Will read the book, he got really interested in building Robin Hood's part of the story.
this is the great Viking ship. It wasn't that hard because I've built a lot of ships but I don't have photos of them. The captain is sitting at the bottom. he's on his tower, commanding the men. While we were doing this, I told my dad about how I built a Viking ship and he said, "A good leader would have the faith (trust) of his men, for them to do the right thing and he wouldn't have to command them at all. He could just work with them". On this ship, we have a little fireplace, of course made of stone, so the ship didn't catch on fire, and then we have a couple cross bow men. I don't know if they had cross bow's back then but they're cool so use them anyway.
This is Molly at her first birthday party (she turns one on July 9). I felt the privilege of helping her get a little bit messier than she would have probably gotten on her own! I put some on her arms and I got her on the forehead. It was hilarious how she smudged it into the tray. Hard to believe she is turning one already. She's really cute, isn't she? (Mom is typing this for me but I'm dictating and she was not aware that I went to such great lengths to make Molly messy!)
Thanks for checking out my blog. I will post more later.
