The week of Ethan

The last week of April involved a lot of Ethan related activities. First of all, he had biography night. Joy of my heart, he picked Albert Einstein. Since it had already been a few months since his last haircut, we decided to let it go until after that night so he could do the crazy Einstein hair.   It took me three stores to find that mustache.  I finally gave up and went to Walmart where I found some white faux fur on clearance.  It made a perfect mustache.  The remnant I didn't use has been floating around the house ever since.  Just yesterday Joseph used it to make his chest hairy.  Like Gimly (the dwarf in Lord of the Rings).





If you can take the background noise (there were 4 stations going at once) here is a video of his presentation.  The IQ line is my personal favorite!






The next night was the pinewood derby. It had been planned a month before, but massive flooding had caused a postponement. Of course, we were only half way done with the car when the postponement was announced. And a month later, we had done nothing. So that is why the weights are glued on top and the paint is smeared with small specks of graphite in it. Anyway, unlike last year when he was 1st, he didn't place this year. But his friends took 1st and 3rd, so he was still happy. 




As you can see, we hadn't yet got the promised haircuts (although in the 2 1/2 weeks since all EIGHT of us have had a cut.)

He made a pretty cool Albert. Love that Joey used the fur to make chest hair. :) Okay so he could totally pass as Mom in the last picture. I think they have the same hair cut ;) Gotta love the Father-Son campouts!
