First Decade

Ben had his 10th birthday party at the bowling/laser tag place by our house. After the laser tag, we had cake and presents, followed by at least 20 minutes of deconstructing the laser tag game - who was what player, who had the most hits, blah, blah , blah. At least the boys enjoyed it.

Dirt Cake

Ben made this "Dirt Cake" for February's cubscout den meeting. It's not really a cake - it's a layered mixture of crushed Oreos, vanilla pudding and cream cheese. We put it in a flower pot, added some gummi worms and served it with a garden trowel. Can you say sugar overload?

Snaggletooth

Ellie lost one of her front teeth a while back. I love the 6 year old toothless grin, and the lisp that goes with it.

How smart are you?

Try out this game. Maddie and I got 24 of them together, Dave figured out 17 on his own.

Mid-week update

No picture today, just me apologizing for being such a lame blogger. I've gotten caught up in a bunch of work stuff lately, in addition to planning various upcoming vacations and trying to keep our house from falling down around us. We keep bouncing around between unlivable disaster and barely acceptable. This weekend we need to buckle down and get things straightened up.

I need to hurry and get a picture of Ellie - she lost her front tooth a few weeks ago, and the snaggle tooth look is just precious. The kids are on Spring Break this week and Ellie is going to school with Sammy. Today was pajama day, so she went decked out in her silky cloud print pajamas, unicorn slippers and a herd of small stuffed dogs to share with her newfound friends. Six year old girls are just one of the cutest things around. The older kids are lounging around the house, playing way too much Runescape. Tomorrow, I'll be home until noon, so I need to come up with something constructive and non-computer related for them to do.
