Checkmate

Look who is learning how to play chess with mommy...

Spirit week preparations

A note came home the other day. Spirit week is upon us. That means the kids have a dress up theme every day for te next week. Savannah got to work right away. She has plans for decades day (she plans to be a 60s girl), what you want to be when you grow up, mis-matched day, dress for success day, and famous person day. 

Gage...not really interested. Well see if I can talk him into taking part in any of the events!

Bath time

Normally, Pep stays downstairs when we do bath time (because she steals - and then eats - toys from the kids' rooms). But, I let her hang out with us recently, and she was happy as could be. In fact, she kept jumping up and putting her front paws on the side of the tub like she wanted to take a bath :-)

Graduation

Adam and I had to attend graduation a few weeks ago (dressed in fancy regalia). We briefly considered letting the kids wear their Harry Potter robes and bringing them with us, but ultimately decided against it. Savannah did try a graduation cap on, though :-)

Bunny nest

A few weeks ago, we found a nest of baby bunnies right near the deck. Truth be told, Pepper found a nest of baby bunnies. She immediately ate one. Poor thing was squealing and she just chomped it up :-(

Adam built a bunny barricade out of banquet tables to keep Pepper out, and we only let her out on a leash, or under "close supervision".  

We peeked in on them every few days, and watched mama bunny come to visit them morning and night.

I'm happy to report that the bunnies made it and have moved out of their nest. They were the cutest little things ever, and so much fun for the kids (and me) to watch grow up so quickly!
