This past weekend was the PWD. A great time was had by all. B ended up fifth in his division and 9th overall. I think there were close to 50 boys racing.
Here are two pictures of B's car (the black one with number 9)


I am always amazed at the creativity with all the cars. A few more pictures.  The pink lego piece and the butterfly in the back

Here is a blackhawk helicopter, a herbie car and alligator in the front.

Check out this one with real snake skin and rattle
I like the lego guy and the great paint job.

We also had a visitor for the weekend...Bubbles

Bubbles is Jbird's class mascot.  Every weekend he spends with a different child.  I love the baseball hat J put on him.  Him and JB are both very found of Bubbles.  They had lots of fun, but Bubbles also loves to play hide and go seek.  We spent about half the weekend looking for him because his hiding spots were so good!

I am finding much joy in my kitchen these days.  Jbird just loves to eat, especially breakfast.  His favorite - eggs with syrup.  He can eat a couple of pieces of toast, bacon and 4 scrambled eggs, preferably with cheese on them.  I just love to watch him eat and get such satisfaction out of what he is eating.  Now serve him something he is not interested in, forget it - hardly a smile, but when it is a favorite of his, look out.  He can eat.

I have been experimenting with a few new recipes.  One called for 3 T. of paprika.  Did you know that Cayenne Pepper looks a lot like Paprika?  It does and in my cabinet, they are in similar size bottles.  Fortunately we have a member of our household that loves spicy!  Another recipe called for 2 T of sugar..yep bet you can guess what I used instead....salt.  Fortunately it was the homemade pizza, so we did not have a real hard time getting that one down.

J stayed home from school today - said he was not feeling well.  Just the coughing and sneezing.  He has not missed a day of school yet, so figured we would see how it goes.  I know JB loved having him home but it sure was hard to keep him 'still'.  I tried hard to emphasize 'you are sick, you need to lay low' but had a hard time with it.  At least I know he is not too sick to go to school tomorrow.
