Playdates

My very good friend Ang brought Aiden over to play with Grace on Friday. They had such a good time together even though neither likes sharing too much. Aren't they cute??

Awwwwwwe!

Saturday we had Marquis, Amy, Bre & Gage as well as Jason, Ang & Aiden over for some fajitas, XBox & Wii. The boys played Rock Band and did a good job taking turns with the drums, guitar and singing. If I was thinking, I could have gotten some video...next time! Pretty funny from a spectator's standpoint!

Oh What a Silly Grace...

Oh and one more.... see what happens when she doesn't take a nap??

A Few Random Things

Happy 14th birthday Kenzie! We celebrated at Chili's. Can you believe she's already 14?? I feel old.

Grace loves her new kitchen and play food. I have to share a story that goes along with that. She sort of understood the concept of playing with the kitchen but I couldn't understand why she was soooooo excited when I went to open the box of play food. Come to find out she assumed that it was REAL food and she was going to get to eat it. When she quickly learned that she couldn't eat it, she was extremely upset. We've since gotten past that and she plays well with all of it. Peri and Gage like to play kitchen every time they come over as well.

Below are a few pictures of Evan's science experiments (which he absolutely loves!) The picture with the four petri dishes is completely disgusting. You can swab various things and then allow it to grow on the gelatin. They chose Evan's nose, Jeremy's foot, the stove and the top of a spice container. Just look at the picture -- Yuck! Another big hit was the gak. I'd actually made it when I was a kid and decided to make a batch for Evan via a recipe on the internet....he loves it!
