A Fishy Story

Kirby loves food. He hardly ever turns down a meal or a chance to try something new. He's my "good-eater". However, on occasion (rare occasion) he just doesn't feel like eating. That does not mean he doesn't want the food. He's just not going to eat it. He has other plans for it, that's all.

For lunch the other day Kirby was served a PB&J with some goldfish. According to popular belief, goldfish like to swim in cold lakes. Not so here in Nebraska. Here they prefer to swim in PB&J's.

I thought you would appreciate a close-up of this wild phenomenon found only here, in the tiny town of Arlington.

Now go. Hurry and tell your friends while I call Ripley's Believe It or Not.

The Boy Turns TWO!!

I cannot even believe it's been two whole years since I brought my little man home from the hospital. *sigh* It's going by too fast!

We had a lovely, small get-together with neighbors after dinner on Sunday night followed by some caterpillar cupcakes:

The caterpillar cupcakes I found on the internet were much cuter but I'm trying. I figure by the time I'm really good at creating birthday cakes my kids will be old enough to beg me for store bought ones.

Here's a sample of my work before I figured out the proper hold on the icing nozzle:

And here's after:
Huge difference but they tasted the same.

My handsome, well-dressed, just-turned-two-year old:

The party-goers:

Kirby enjoys the head of the caterpillar. Some of you may remember Mommy fed him the head of his duck birthday cake last year. I think there may be some issues I should probably discuss with a professional.

Mmm...yummy caterpillar head!

It's time for presents! A new shirt from Mema in California:

Books, books and more books from Grammy & Papa:

The hit of the show - CARS!! Thank you, Mema!!

There were more presents to open but Kirby didn't care once he had his car-cars!

Ooh! A "moker-ki-kle" from the neighbors! Thank you, Johnsons!

And more track for the train set he got at Christmas from Mommy & Daddy.

Since you managed to scroll all the way down to the end of this post, here's a little video as a thank you! Enjoy!
