Cap'n Crunch Candy Rules!

Seth loves his cooking class at school and he loves Cap'n Crunch Candy so what better to do than make candy in his cooking class! Seth thought this was a grand idea to do and celebrate his birthday at the same time. I bought the supplies and taught the class how to make the candy. They did a great job working together and everybody got to play a part. Check out this concentration and teamwork:
We made three batches so there was enough to send a large bag home with each child. What fun! The only thing I missed was a picture of Seth and his teacher together - ooops. We'll have to do that another time.

On Fire!

Not to scare you -- but there was no other way to describe it! Seth was absolutely on fire today! These are scores I would be thrilled to get. I wish I would have had my camera because Seth gets a dollar from Grandpa for every game over 100, and by the third frame, Seth asked me to call Grandpa. Ironically, Grandpa showed up on the next frame and was there just in time to see the second strike in a row. He knew he was doomed to lose a dollar. = )

Seth appeared to be back to his normal average of 89 in the second game and then he laid it on at the end with the triple strike and blew his average away for the second time.

It was a fun day!

Introducing Hawke (aka Peachbutt)

It's time I introduce the newest member to our family. This little guy made quite the journey. If he could talk, I bet he has a story to tell about the bumpy ride he had getting here in Santa's sleigh! He arrived safely and had an interesting home with a skyride wheel, but the plastic must have gotten brittle while in the North Pole because it has done nothing but fall apart in the mere two weeks he's been here. So, last night, he got a new, simpler home which he is quite happy with.
Lacey has named him Hawke, but I call him Peachbutt. Erik calls him Rodent or Rodentia (must be trying to make it sound somewhat nice??). Seth doesn't really seem to care too much about him other than being fully entertained watching Lily lick her chops everytime she looks at him. Lily is pretty sure that he should be a meal! After all, she was bred to chase after weasels and the like. We ended up having to put him up on a higher shelf so he can live in peace and quiet. Now Lily just spends her time looking up at him and whining. I'll have to get a picture of it and post sometime in the future.

Lacey loves him.

This is a little blurry, but I thought it looked like he was waving bye!

I doubt he will learn a lot of tricks for us to display to the world, but we will post updates of his adventures as they occur.
