When tumblebees was over, we went to my friend Amy's house to help her decorate a birthday cake for Mia. The boys played amazingly well with Mia (who turned five on Friday!) and her Dad and little brother. Amy and I were cake decorating maniacs. We created a stellar (if I do say so myself) Wow Wow Wubsy cake. It was so much fun to make. (The very best was when all of the 4 and 5 year olds finally saw the cake. Oh, and when Mia would walk by the in-progress cake and say, "Pretty good Wubsy, Mom.") Tim came over, and we all had pizza before finishing up the cake and heading home.
Saturday morning, we had 2 soccer games. Zachary's team lost a very exciting game with lots of close calls. Jeremy's team was soundly defeated (their first BIG loss of the season) by the powerful Fire Monkeys. You can see that Jeremy really loves his soccer. After the 2 games, we went to Mia's party at a local gym.
Our tadpoles, Pepperoni and Olive, are doing well. They are HUGE. (3-4 inches long.) They don't seem to making progress on the whole metamorphosis front, though. This is very discouraging, as the worst possible outcome of this experiment would be bullfrogs in December. WHAT would I do? One other stop on Saturday was to Petsmart, where a very helpful saleslady gave me lots of advice on just how to encourage tadpoles to grow legs. We're now feeding them frozen brine shrimp every day.After church on Sunday, we had our church picnic. What a great time! Zachary was a PROUD participant in the pie-eating contest ("my first pie eating contest ever")! The video below gets a little loud. Let's just say there were some things going on off screen that you don't EVEN want to know about. Finally (YES, there is more), we had Zachary's soccer party at 5PM at LaRosa's. He was as happy as could be to get another trophy. Needless to say, we were all EXHAUSTED by the end of the weekend.
