Confirmation!

Not a great photo of Scooter...but the only one we took
with just her and her sponsor with the Bishop...

Much better photo with the whole family!

a very fancy dinner out for our newly Confirmed Catholic!
I used to waitress at this restaurant...
LOVE the tableside cooking!

CONGRATULATIONS Scooter!

A Pi Day Celebration

Ever since my kids watched
Night at the Museum:
Battle of the Smithsonian,
they have all ('cept the baby)
been able to quote "Pi"
to eight decimal places....
3.14159265

We love that scene with the Bobble Head Einsteins...

Soooooooooo
we HAD to celebrate
PI Day
March 13th
(get it...3.14)
some go so far as to
celebrate at exactly 1:59 pm...

For dinner, we had
homemade Turkey Pot "Pi"
and simple baked apples
in Spelt flour "Pi" crust...
(dad gave up sugar for lent)...
This was so much fun,
especially because Scooter 
just finished studying the
Area and Perimeter of a circle!

Tilly and Snorkie have been doing fractions this week...
"pieces of the pie" and Scooter started Pie Charts!

Perfect Timing!

 (found this image and thought that I will
HAVE to do this next year...
it is an Actual apple Pie
baked to look like a math book,
with Pi cut into the top crust!)

Mardi Gras

Here it is...the feast before the fast...
a few decadent photos before Lent begins...

Scooter and Snorkie's
Voyage of the Dawn Treader cake...

Amazing how time flies...


the ship is 4 layers of brownie...yum.
the ocean is yellow cake and Aslan on the beach is plastic

A "Despicable" birthday event....

Snorkie's "Best" friends party...
Welcome Minions!
9 little minions in flannel minion shirts with felt goggles.
We had so much fun...


all the little minions after games...


Munching Minions....
Snorkie wears his shirt at LEAST
once a week...
We had all minion food...Goldfish crackers, cheese doodles,
popcorn, mini pretzels, lemonade...

My FAVORITE Minion
