For her online English class, Amanda was assigned to make a creative application project based on the book
Redwall by Brian Jacques. From several options given, Amanda decided to make a costume for Martin the Warrior. She had fun sewing a tunic and hood, making a sword with her dad, and creating leg armor from old pizza boxes. (It's amazing what you can do with pizza or cereal boxes! Last year Peter created a very cool Roman soldier's kilt!) Here are a couple of pictures of Amanda and her work. After today, most of her costume is going to younger brothers, as she is also in the process of sewing a lady's medieval costume for our upcoming Medieval Feast.

When's the medieval feast? Any chance I'll be home for it?

Yes, we want you to come to the feast! We're planning to do it just before Christmas, maybe Sat. the 19th or even Monday the 21st.
Hope you have a great weekend! Call me if you have ??s when you study for your chem test. :)
We have a bunch of Brian Jacques books from Michael's elementary years; Redwall included. This inspires me to read the story!
