So Caleb

I mentioned earlier that Caleb is "Gadget Guy..."

Several weeks ago while Bekah had a friend over, Caleb came up to me and said, "Mom, I figured out how to keep the girls out of my bedroom."

"Really?" I said.

"Yeah. I took my doorknob off." With a screwdriver. And that is SO Caleb!

Spelling Bee

Bekah recently took second place in her school spelling bee. Not too shabby considering she is in 5th grade and the bee included 5th-8th graders. She then went on to compete in the Tazwood Spelling Bee (Tazwell and Woodford Counties). She was one of the last 10 still in the competition. She and six others got out in the same round. She missed the word "feudal." Not a word she has come across in her reading. I think it is part of next year's curriculum.

Way to go Bekah!

Caleb's Birthday

A bit of catch-up...

Caleb turned 6 near the end of January. For his party we took one of his friends (and his family) with us to Chuck-E-Cheese. Not exactly my favorite place, but not so bad when you go on a Tuesday evening. Here is a picture of the Birthday Boy.

Emma and her little friend spent the entire evening on the Chuck-E-Cheese ride and the fire engine ride. Who wouldn't love to ride with Chuck-E?

Caleb is a "Gadget Guy." He loves to mess around with interesting gadgets--padlocks, flashlights, Scott's tools, cameras, etc. What better birthday gift than a spy kit. He loved it!
