Silly Kids

The kids in our family sure are silly.  For example:

Collin blinding himself with his new mouse.

Hunter bowing.

Hunter trying to do a pull up (and Debbie giving him a boost).

Tausha spinning and spinning under the Christmas tree at the Capitol building to make herself dizzy.

Corryn and Ethan exploring Grandpa Bob and Grandma Katherine's house.

Ethan found a treasure box.  He then put the PT Cruiser toy car that Grandpa Bob gave him in the "treasures" box.

Hunter explaining the rules of Settlers of Catan.

And finally, Ethan insisting on being tossed around in a laundry basket until Dad was tired, then he asked Mom and when Mom was tired he asked Nay Nay and when Ranee was tired he asked Grandpa Bob. And when Grandpa Bob declined, Ethan wanted to take the laundry basket home to Nana's, cause she wouldn't be too tired for sure.

O Canada!

Collin, Hunter, Debbie and Ranee went to Canada this weekend. We walked around downtown, went to Lynn Canyon Park, played at the beach at Third Beach in Stanley Park, visited Peace Arch Park and generally had a good time (when we weren't doing any of the above, Collin and Hunter were playing Alchemy - we blame Melissa).

Word of the Day...

While in DC Debbie discovered the Sneaky series of books that she subsequently ordered for the boys. They've done several activities listed in it and this morning they decided to make break-a-way glass with sugar and water.

While prepping for this they had the following conversation with their Mom.

Instructions: Remove from burner before sugar turns brown.

Collin: What's brown sugar?

Debbie: It's sugar with molasses in it.

Hunter: What's molasses?

Collin: It's a thick gooey substance that tastes kind of bitter.

Hunter: Oh....so it's viscous. I like viscous things, they're my favorite.

Collin and Hunter currently in grade school and already prepping for a 2400 SAT.
