The Last Airbender...who knew it was so good.



Okay, lately we have all been obsessed with the cartoon Avatar: The Last Airbender. Yes, even Cade and I will turn it on after the kids go to bed. Not knowing that it was a cartoon before it was an M. Night Shyamalan movie, we ran across it by accident a month or so ago on Netflix (if you get Netflix, you can watch all three seasons online for free by the way). Anyway, it's a very well-written interesting story and the characters are very fun!

Some people learn to make cookies, others...



Last week we took the kids to Gold's Gym and there was a clown there making animal balloons for the kids. Whitney Brynne decided right then that she wanted to learn how to do this unique talent. She used her money to purchase a balloon pump and balloons online. Then she rented a how-to book from the library and spent two days popping, twisting, and tucking the colored rubber into all sorts of barnyard fodder. Her pride and joy was the snail (top). Cade and I have told her that someday the kids she babysits will be very happy that she learned how to do this.
