Dinodude's BD

It's been a while since I've posted! So sorry. Things are so busy and crazy around here! Dinodude turned 7 this month! Where is the time going? And why is it going so fast? He wanted a lego party, so that's what we did. For the games, we played a lego version of hot potato. Everyone started with a pile of legos in front of them. The first person started with one lego. He'd pass it to the next person and that person would add another lego. Then he would pass it and the next person added another lego. It would just continue on with that while the music played. Whoever had the legos when the music stopped was out. They really enjoyed that. Then, we played a lego spoon relay race. We separated them into 2 teams. Each team got one spoon and a lego. They had to run to one end of the room with the lego on the spoon, then back to their team and hand it off. We actually had to do this twice because there were a few cheaters who tried to hold the lego on the spoon! The last game was pin the weapon on the legoman. I didn't draw this guy. I just printed him and blew it up so he was bigger. If I had more time, I could've drawn a nicer looking one, but he served his purpose. Here's the legoman:

Here's the lego cake I made:

We had a great turnout! I think there were about 7-8 boys. It sure was loud! But, that's part of the fun of it! It was nice outside, too, so they were able to go outside and play. Wally taught them how to play capture the flag and I think they all enjoyed that.

We Can Now Add Rocket to Our List!!!

The list for getting stitches! Yup. Last night was his turn. He, Pokemon King, and Dinodude were in the basement playing in their forts. I can't count how many times I've told them not to climb on the roof of the playhouse. Of course, those boys never listen! Rocket was on the roof, tripped and fell onto a shelf. He comes up the stairs with blood running down his face. I'm panicking so much! I clean him off to find the wound and see a nice slice in his head. So, I call Bond, who's on his way to the movies with brother-in-law and Wally. He comes back home and we head off to the hospital. Wait time wasn't too bad. Instead of getting a numbing shot, they use some kind of numbing gel that takes about 20 minutes to work. So, Rocket's lying on the table having the stitches put in and is just talking up a storm to us. We told him we'd take him to McDonald's for some fries, so he was talking about that. He told us how he got hurt. He was such a brave kid and did an awesome job! Of course, now he tells people he fell off the roof. What people must think when he says that!

Rocket and Wally say Hi!!

Rocket and Wally here! We're bored, so we're messing around with the blog! (SHHH!!;Don't tell mom!!)

Pokemon King's BD

Wow! Sure has been a while since I posted! May has been so crazy especially with soccer. Now that it's over (for now) it's less stressful. Our homeschool has also ended, so now we're just taking it easy (a bit). So, Pokemon King turned 10! Wow! Can't believe it! He had a Mario party. We played 'Pin the Mustache on Luigi' and 'Hot Bob-omb.' Then, the boys had a Mario Kart tournament. Here's some pics:

The cake I made. It's a Shine Sprite from Super Mario Sunshine.
Pin the mustache on Luigi:
Present time!
The Luigi poster I drew. Personally I think he should shave. He looks a lot younger without his mustache!

I Must Be Doing Something Right!

Rocket is just a sponge absorbing whatever goes on in this house. Fortunately, I caught something good on video!!! Here he is, reciting what his brothers recite every morning. Can you tell what he's saying? You'll probably have to pause the music to hear.

Yup! He's reciting the presidents! Only a few, but I think it's awesome!

I heard this quote in April's General Conference and loved it! I got it in an email, too. Thought I'd share:

Wordy Wednesday-Field Trip

Had a field trip today. My sister set up a tour at a local Kroger. The boys did an awesome job! Of course, I forgot to take the camera, but luckily I had my phone with me. Here's a few shots:

Pokemon King wouldn't let me take his picture :(

They got to see where the trucks come to deliver the food. They even got to step into the refrigerator and freezer sections! One of the stops was the pharmacy. The lady asked what the kids thought went on there. Dinodude chimes in, "I think it has something to do with cows!" (snicker, snicker!) At the end of the tour, they got to scan some items like they were a real cashier! And she even had a bag of snacks for them: Veggie Tale fruit snacks, Mickey Pretzels, Alphabet Crackers, and a drink. What a great time we all had!
