Cake

Dad and big brother were out of town for Buggins' birthday, so we had the cake and ice cream on Tuesday night (the next day). I tried to make a Beyblade cake, but my artistic abilities were lacking. I also tried to make the frosting gray. It looks gray in the picture, but was purplish in real life. He was happy with it though and it tasted great!

Happy 10th Birthday #3!!!

New Beyblades

Favorite treat--Reese's!!

So much excitement!!

Buggins turned 10 on May 27. He got a video game (Create) where you have to think through challenges and build things. I said that a review mentioned it was hard for a 4 year old but I figured a 10 year old could handle it. He said, "Mom, am I 10?! Right now?" I told him yes and he said he didn't feel like he is 10. Haha. Jon and Teen 1 were out if town, so we skyped. We also went and did go carts, laser tag, and mini golf, followed by a BBQ at grandparents. I think he had a fun day!

He made a newspaper hat (with a balloon topper) for himself to celebrate. His primary gave him the name thing to hang on his wall and he insisted on wearing it around. :)

County Parade

The fourth graders had a county parade today. They made a cape representing their county and each told a fact; they also sang a few songs. I can't believe this school year is almost over with!!

The Frog Prince

I love our frog! He's so fun to watch. The other day, it looked like he was looking at himself. Mirror, mirror on the wall, who's the froggiest one of all??

Help?

Does anyone know how to get rid of this ground cover? I don't even remember what it's called. I planted it years ago and it's taking over everything! I have pulled it up numerous times and even sprayed it with roundup last year. But back it came, with a vengeance...

It's fun to catch snails after the rain

There's a new sheriff in town
