Goofy Glasses

Jasmine will wear any glasses except the ones that have been prescribed for her. Here she works on her "smart chick" look or audition for the next J.K. Rowling movie.

Cap'n Kai, Pirate of the High Plains

Kai posed on every tent spike wearing his new eye patch.

Fraternal Battles

This is again at the "Fight A Scot" booth. The boys both have a Scottish middle name ("Drummond") so I guess this worked out. I heard the tapping of wooden swords and loud battle cries, "CRASH", "BANG", "WOOSH", "I HIT YOU!", "NUH UH! MY SWORD MAGICALLY BLOCKS YOURS!", "UUUGH! I'M DEAD AGAIN!"

Warrior Princess

Jasmine's taken to calling herself a "princess". If it weren't for her sword fighting prowess, I'd be worried. Here she is at the "Fight A Scot" booth with an accomodating young man.

Though the sword is bamboo, it doesn't hide the blood lust in her eyes.

My Monsters

We went to the Highland Games to experience authentic Scottish culture.

Ward Meets the Children

Ward is obviously ready to be a father (you can see his little four month old baby Sammy in the bouncy car in the lower right corner). The reason I say this? He's obviously quite okay having children walk all over him. He, Kelly and little Sammy came over for dinner. Theo really out did himself with a feast of tomato soup, turkey, apricot chutney, crispy rosemary sausage potatoes, and chocolate pie a la mode. MMmmmmmm. The boys had couscous and turkey. :)

This is Jasmine's latest trick inspired by Cirque de Soleil. She also is trying to stand on her guitar (a la Dralion clowns) and climb up the curtains. The kitchen curtain rod has already been pulled off the wall. I need to install a climbing rope that's in a weight bearing beam.

Funky NOAH Dancers

A few pictures from the dance floor. These most best illustrate just how much Jazz and Kai got into it. Rowan had an early night due to a little worry about potential food allergen exposure. I think I was the only one really worried, but I didn't want to have wished I'd gotten him benadryl faster.
