Quite an eventful day! Made the new curtains for the bathroom, decorated Levi's hunting cake and got ready for his party at 4. Games and food went well, till Japheth cut his foot rather badly doing some sort of jumping off the dresser maneuver, and had to go to the ER. The spirit just wasn't as lively after he left. Poor guy ended up with 7 stitches in his foot.
On a lighter, but no less naughty note, I came out of the boys bedroom after tucking them in, to find Aila's PJ's and diaper at the top of the stairs. I went down to investigate, and Scott had re-diapered her, reporting she had gone in the bathroom, shut the door, got in the tub, and began to draw herself a bath! The problem was, she was only running hot water, and standing in, ankle deep, saying, "Hot! Hot!"

Lunch and Dinner
It all started two days before. Levi had his heart set on having hamburgers for supper, but the meat was still frozen, so I promised we could have them for lunch the next day. He was most upset, crying and declaring he hated pot pie, which we had instead. He then proceeded to eat 3 serving of pot pie.
The following day, Levi, of his own accord, got out the burger and began shaping it into patties, stating he would make lunch. He did a great job, too, with a bit of advice, frying them up with a sprinkle of seasoning.
When supper rolled around, Scott was away, so I told Caelin to get the griddle out; we would just have grilled cheese and soup. Levi got up on the counter. "I feel like making something." he said. "Why don't you make the grilled cheese then?" Caelin asked. "No, I'm going to be a chef!" he responded. "Well, chefs can make grilled cheese." Caelin answered. Levi decided he would, claiming, "Chefs have to make everything!" He went ahead, buttering and assembling, and despite Caelin's protests that the sandwiches were burned on one side and soggy on the other, they were actually not bad at all. :-)
During this delightful meal, the boys somehow began discussing how much you could sell a moon rock for. Levi guessed a thousand dollars. Caelin, in his superior wisdom, said, "Oh no, much more!" Levi was shocked. I mentioned that you can't just get more very easily. Caelin added, "Oh I bet NASA has a cache of moon rocks." And I'm thinking, "A cache? How many 10 year-olds know how to use that word?"
To cap it off, Tirzah just told me she's in the F.P.I., which she doesn't know what that means, except that she can be naughty. ;-D
