The apple doesn't fall far....

So Ethan has a new obsession these days- anything with a motor, especially sports cars, ESPECIALLY Mustangs. I have no problem with this, in fact it makes me relieved that he is truly a boy and hopefully will always be one.:o) (Does anyone else ever worry about this?) However, I did accuse my husband of steering Ethan towards the Mustang, which he adamantly denies. The kid does have a great eye for detail, though. All of his drawings are race cars these days and they're pretty good. He also says things to me like "Hey Mom, that truck is just like yours, except the wheels are different." and "That truck is just like Daddy's except the grill is different." I don't even know what my wheels look like. I have a feeling he's going to be one of those kids that know what year the car is just by looking at the body style or the wheels or something. And Rob doesn't even live anywhere near here, so it can't be HIS influence. It must just be genetic. (From Rich, not Rob. Maybe that didn't sound right.)

What is that supposed to be?

So now I am becoming a seamstress and all around crafty girl. I made the ear of corn costume Natalie wore for pilgrim night at AWANA. I didn't even have a pattern! Ethan was an indian, of course.(Although he tells me these days that they are not indians- they are native americans.) So I was pretty proud of myself, and hopefully you knew what the costume was before I explained it! The other 2 pictures are from halloween- they are store bought costumes. Ethan makes a very convincing Ninja.
