Spiked Hair

What is it with this time of year and Ethan wanting to spike his hair up? This all started years ago with Dude (Uncle Layne) showing him how. Once again he's sporting his cool look.
I may be a bit biased as his mother, but I'm pretty sure he's too cute!

Remember my spiked hair last year???

Cool New Game

I got this basketball game for my birthday from a friend. Mom likes it because by a miracle it requires NO BATTERIES! Dad likes it because he can beat Mom. I like it because I can play by myself or against Mom and Dad.

This weekend we had a tournament in our house by taking turns playing each other. One person started as the "ref" and then would play the winner of the game and we just kept going in that rotation for a long time Friday night.

Add some pizza, Shark week and some popcorn and it was a good time!

OTTER'S GAME



Friday night we invited friends & family to the Otter's for a baseball party. We had a lot of fun ~ despite the rain! Then 3 of my friends (Riley, Jake & Garrett) came over for my 1st sleepover! We camped out in our basement in a tent.

The Bug Man & Fisherman

I've got two new hobbies - bug catching & fishing. All thanks to my birthday. Dude got me a fishing pole (and tackle box) and Aunt Lynn & Uncle Steve got me a bug vacuum and kit.

There is nothing as fun as practicing fishing skills in your backyard!

As part of my backyard extermination I've caught a fly, ant and sweat bee so far.

Dinosaurs & Creatures Camp

Last week I attended the "Creatures Features" camp at the Children's Museum. It was in the mornings and we did all kinds of cool stuff with bugs, animals and dinosaurs. My favorite part was the skeleton room where we learned about how archaeologist's dig for dinosaur bones and artifacts.

We went on a field trip to the nature center and made lots of neat stuff, including a dinosaur egg. They had the zoo bring in animals and talk to us about what they eat in the wild. Did you know snakes eat mice? They really do!

Mama Terry got to come pick me up a couple times and Dad took the afternoon off on Friday to pick me up and we stayed to play in the museum. He had never been before so I showed him all around.

What Will I Be?

Ethan came home from a special half-day camp at the children's museum this week and told me he knew what he wanted to be when he was a "big kid."

"I want to be a teacher. But they have to call me 'Ethan'. None of this 'Mr.' stuff!"

However, today he's decided he'd like to be a veterinarian. No telling what tomorrow will bring...
