Our Frogs
We really love our pet frogs. We started out with one-Yoda. We now have 5. We have found them in the yard or the park. Their names are Hopper, Joe, Lily and Princess Ruby. We have just been learning how to take care of them for the past few months. Now the boys are working on bonding with them and taming them.
Robothon
Saturday, the boys and I, attended Robothon at the Seattle Center. We had a great time checking out what people made and trying to work some of them ourselves.
The boys with their new friend Peter. His family invited us to this event.
Uneven Bars Injury
Last week during gymnastics the boys went on the uneven bars for the first time. They did great until Micah flew off and bit his lip. He got a pretty big flat lip. There were no tears and he went right back up on them!
