Read MoreCake Pickup! Hockey! More caterpillar fun!
Today was a busy one! We checked on our caterpillars again this morning at Goddard–still munching, if maybe a bit slower. We watched a few of them decide they are full, and drop off of the leaves, quickly burrowing under the pine straw. This afternoon, Brian had an early release day, so we went ahead and got the kids early and took them along as we picked up Brian’s birthday cake. It’s a 3D Captain Rex helmet, and we all thought they did a fantastic job of it! The cake...

Brian came up with the idea of drawing different sorts of “worlds” on it, and we had a great time filling up the space with different single-biome planets (sort of like in Star Wars!) Tonight, like many nights, the kids put on their coordinating pajamas and asked for a dance party! We...
