Around the house

Happy Valentine's Day from Josh!  We made candies on Monday (day late, but we don't care) and Josh took over the process.  He made several inventive combinations. 

My favorite thing was the dipped strawberries. 

We each got a row of strawberries.  Amazing!

These are some of Josh's creations -- some swirly, some strawberries in the candy molds!

Wednesday night was Blue and Gold Night for Cub Scouts.  I always wondered why we do this mid-year, but it's because it's the cub scout's birthday. 

Luke's pack is huge!  They had to line up right a the beginning, and recite the Scouts Oath and Motto.

He took his job very seriously.

Love the scouts sign -- the two fingers up, the serious faces. 

The Tigers (Luke's den) did a skit about the invisible bench.  Luke and his friend were the first two out.

Now they're all on the bench.  Pretty soon they all fell onto the floor. 

Josh got his badges from the summer camp.  All bid'ness

Josh's homework.  Oh my GOD I love this so much.  When asked if he could spend the afternoon with a member of his extended family and why, Josh answered "I would do it with my uncle John.  I like spending time with him because he likes to have fire in his front yard, and he would dump gasoline in the wood then use a flame thrower to light it up.  And he likes to be outside."  I truly cannot wait to hear back from his teacher.  All of it's true, but we don't like to exactly advertise  the flame thrower situation. :) 

Another basketball game.  Luke scored 24 points this game.  He was all over the place, rebounding and stealing and crazy hustling.  

Saturday the boys hooked up the Rock Band and busted some AC/DC out (that's why Luke's wearing the hat!).  

can you hear Luke saying "Thun-Der!!!" ?? 

His tiny voice, the two handed microphone hold, the hat...it's too much. 

Who's concentrating harder -- Mike or Josh? 

No pictures MOM!!
