Making Salad

The boys decided to make supper for Patches, the guinea pig.

You can see how full the bowl is!  

Nathan's first time skating

 Nathan has always somehow managed to escape putting on ice skates.  We have taken him with us when we have gone skating but he always wanted to just run around in his boots.  Skating is an activity though that they do at school here as the arena is within walking distance.

The arena provides these great supports for the kids to grab onto and skate.

Nathan was actually doing really well but was sad that some of his classmates could skate better than he can. 

After skating - sweaty and grumpy.

Nathan actually did really well for having never been on skates but he says he is never going skating again!

Jay's Birthday Party

Jay had a hard time waiting for his party this year.  He wanted to go to Rucker's again this year so that is what we planned for him.  He decided on a Despicable Me 2 theme.   Although I wanted to make his cake, he found one at the Co-op that he preferred.  A good time was had by all the kiddos!
