Eating and More Birthday

Eating is something that happens pretty much non-stop around here. Someone always wants a snack. They all eat lunch. Someone always complains about it. Someone throws part of it on the floor. (for just a moment I missed the dog) Someone always wants more - usually of whatever is already gone. And then thirty minutes later someone is hungry again. Benjamin won't ever try anything new, so I sneak things in his mouth. He opens his mouth up really big and slowly heads his own handful of food toward it and - zip - I beat him to it. He usually ends up liking whatever it is.

Gibson and Haven told Grani and Aunt Christy that they need to open a restaurant. I think they liked the service they were getting.

We had a cake for our birthday party the other day, but we had filled up on watermelon and we didn't have room for cake.

Gibson and Elam picked out the cake. they really liked this one because it had a tractor on it.

We had six candles for Gibson.

And two for Elam.

Here's the crowd cheering for Grani as she lit the candles. I have a picture of Grani lighting the candles, but she doesn't like for me to put her picture on my blog.
