Turning Double Digits -- Thankfulness

Thankfulness -- Spring Break edition

50. Opportunities for Creative Expression -- Desiree and Elijah took an art class where they each got to paint a picture of our cat, Socks and make a clay sculpture of her too!  

The kids had fun and were very pleased with their results!

51. Turning Double Digits -- Elijah has hit the big 1-0 and is now in the double digits!  We celebrated as a family on his official day, but his party with friends is still to come.  This year's theme is Big Hero 6 (and that's Hiro on Elijah's hand).

52. Scootering in a Torrential Downpour -- Elijah got a scooter for his birthday and because it's no fun to scooter alone SURPRISE -- Desiree got one too!  To make things even more fun, Ernie and I spent our future birthday money and got scooters for ourselves too. 

On our second scootering trip a man walked past us and said 

"The family that scooters together..."  :)

Codes -- 13 34 14 15 43

After watching an episode of "The Flash" I was intrigued by an audible code called the tap code or knock code.  Since my plans to learn Morse Code have fallen by the wayside -- this looks like a code that could be easier to learn and use.

My kids have already been intrigued with written codes such as the pigpen code, but adding this one (which can be audible or written) will be awesome!

25 15 43 45 43     31 34 51 15 43     54 34 45!
