Fishy Bits

I don't eat fish.  But the rest of my family does.  So when lobster tails and mussels went on sale at our local market I snapped them up.  F has had mussels before but this was the first time he got to shuck (is that the right term?) them all on his own.  I've never seen anyone shuck and eat quite so fast, you'd think they were sugar dipped in chocolate and sprinkles the way his hands blurred between plate, mouth, and bowl.

Driving over train tracks,
"Wow, that road was sort of wrinkly."

Some Neighborly Chores

FFM takes advantage of our open plan neighborhood and bops in and out of our neighbors yards on the weekends (and some weekdays) to check to "see what they are up to."  We're working on some boundaries, like asking if it's OK to come in or if they are too busy to visit.  He's picking it up pretty quickly and so are the neighbors.  We're super lucky to have super duper neighbors who like kids.

Like Mr. Pat.  Mr. Pat isn't the normal mower-of-the-lawn at his house and wasn't to happy to be stuck with the chore. So when FFM came to visit he decided that some help would be great.

Pushing a push mower is HARD work, even for a grown up!  It must take two...

They finally got it done and when the string trimmer came out Travis decided it was time for FFM to come back home.  Not sure he's quite ready for giant power tools yet.

Last Day of School 2011

Oh my, lots of change this year!  First day vs. last day of school.

QOTD

Lots of quotes lately.
With the hope of warm weather we've had more open shoes which has led to learning about stubbed toes.  This morning I heard...

"OUCH!  I stubbed my elbow!"
