Aston finished this creation at 9:30pm last night (notice the droopy eyes). He "needed" to complete his twin spaceships before bed. Jeff and I are continually amazed at what he creates with these things. His perseverance and insistence that everything be symmetrical just blows us away...
In Stelly news this week, she had a followup eye appointment. She did great with being dilated (notice the disposable glasses) and never said a peep when Dr. D poked at her with his equipment. Here eye sight is great but did recommend that we patch her this time since she squints her right eye every time she's outside (her right eye is the one the wonders the most). So she now wears a patch 1-2 hours per day alternating eyes each day. She does great with the patch so far probably because she gets to pick out a different design each day that matches her outfit:)
We had lots of play dates this week! Cole on Monday, Griffin on Tuesday, Kate on Wednesday and Mia on Thursday! (notice Mei's right eye squint on bottom right:))
We made it to 20 stars this week on the Good Girl and Good Boy star charts (usually takes 3-5 weeks). They both landed their 20 on the same day so they opened their "goal gifts" together. Aston wanted a Lego Spaceship Kit thing and Stelly requested a Rapunzel dress. It was a happy Monday at the Lees!

What a creative kid(s) you got there:) You need to send the picture(s) and story to Wendy's. I agree Smart Links are the bestest, and I've seen kids meal toys come and go since our kids were little (a LONG time)and there has never been a toy that is so safe, portable,and fun that can bring out the creativity of kids. Yay that they're back.
Mei looks so cute in the patch and she really makes a fashion statement wearing it. So glad she was not resistent to wearning the patch. Aside from the pretty patches she gets to wear, part of the reason she doesn't mind may be that when she's wearing the patch she doesn't get double vision as she would when either eye wonders out. Hope this does the trick of strengthing both eyes.

hi Kate...great post of Aston and Stellyn showing their creative ideas!!! Aston may well be the next inventor of the century...Edison, Jobs and Gates...watch out...and Stellyn....Vera Wang, Tory Burch and Michael Kors...you might think of hiring her now!!! love, Gram and Chuck
Aw Mei is one of the few girls I know who can rock the patch and make it look fashionable. Am thinking A sees the same eye doc! Holy play date overload - the Lees house was hopping this past week! We just started good girl chart t home - will have to show e the reward pic. And holy Toledo mr. Math with those smart links- sign that kid up for some architecture classes fast! May have to start hitting wendys for some! (looks like such a big kid in that pic).
Nice work Aston!! Those are SERIOUSLY impressive!!!

Where were the Hall kids during all these playdates?!? We need to get together!
Jack made it to twenty stars tonight!! He's PUMPED to get his "prize" tomorrow after school. Kingsley's at 18, so am hoping she can catch up and get a prize at the same time as him. Just LOVE the star system!!!
holy smart links! we have some of these too but no where near as many as aston! it's a great one to take to restaurants and such as a busy activity while waiting. so so impressed with the symmetry!!
WOW w/ the links!! love the family commitment w/ them...buying the food....shopping on ebay...that is love! :) love all the playdates. griff had a blast. need to have aston here pronto. had no idea about stellyn's eye...glad she loves the patch! she's as adorable as ever!
Ha!, I did the same thing the other day with the Smart Links. I went to Wendy's and bought several more packs and my Mom has been picking them up as well. My boys can't get enough and when the 4 year old didn't have enough to finish his space ship...well...let's just say it wasnt pretty!
