Edible Bionicles

Yesterday Ethan got the latest Bionicle movie. Today we had the cousins
and Konnor over for a bionicle party. The party consisted of crafting
bionicle masks, watching the movie, and making edible bionicles from
pretzel sticks, marshmallows and grapes. They also carved apples. Much
tasty creativity was expressed. The combination of marshmallows,
pretzels and grapes is not bad tasting.

New home for the rooster

Butterscotch got a new home today with a great family. He'll be looking
after 5 hens and one of them is bigger than he is. You can see him in
this picture standing on the gate and watching the new chickens with the
whole family watching.

On our way to Duluth on Saturday we stopped in McGregor.

New homeschooling bus?

First day of Avery's preschool

She really was excited and had fun, but she didn't show the camera.

New floor

Our dojang has a new blue foam floor.  Plus I thought this picture of Ethan's class was nice with the different color belts.
