Twins
The twins have returned.
Cupcakes
We made cupcakes the other day. I wanted to make a special treat for Mommy camp. I thought they were like muffins but more sugar. I learned that they are a CAKE put into a cup! It was a good joke on me! So I learned how to make a cake and cupcakes. Then I learned how to make a frosting. They were yummy.
We saved a few for the big kids when they come home on Saturday. We shared with Grandma and Grandpa. And then we ate the rest 🙂
Mommy Camp-Monday
We started Mommy camp Monday. The big kids went to Lake Ann for camp very early. So Megan and I get to go to Mommy Camp!
We played outside. I am babysitting Audrey’s caterpillars so we went looking for food for them.
I had a class where we learned about trees. We had freshly squeezed leaf juice to drink. We played two games. 
The one was tree bingo. Can you guess the other game? The pictures are hints.
We went to the library. Then we went to Wings Etc for dinner. It was very good.
Archery
On Monday we started archery class. I started with a Recurve bow. I tried a Compound bow once. A Compound is hard to shoot.
Today, I shot a short Long bow. My teacher brought me in a special bow to try. He had made it for his daughter when she was my age. It went a little better than the other bows. I hit an almost bull’s eye! One the other day and today’s bull’s eye was better.
Tomorrow we are just going to play games and show off what we learned. I will be sad when archery is over, it is fun.
Playing with Paul
I like to play with the neighbor’s cat.
Crazy Cleats
After my goal!
My Soccer team is the Crazy Cleats. June 14 is my last game. We will be gray because we are the visitors.
The Crazy Cleat Team
A few days ago I made my second goal in the season. I hope to try for another one at my last game.
Canoe Trip
Today we are going to start going to Missouri. We are going to Mark Twain National Forest. It will take about 9 hours. We are going backpacking canoing. But mainly canoing.
We will sleep in tents. We will eat snacks like Gorp. We will have dried rice and dried meat and dried beans. For breakfast we will have stuff like frog eyes.
Please pray for our safety! Megan has never been in a canoe, but she did go kayaking with Daddy when she was REALLY little. I have been in one for a little bit.
I am looking forward to the canoing and the food and us being together for a whole week!
On the 15th of May….
“On the fifteenth of May, in the Jungle of Nool…Horton the elephant heard a small noise…”*
Have you read Horton Hears a Who!? Make SURE you read Horton Hears a Who! on the 15th of May, because that is when it happened!
Today is also Uncle Josh’s and Auntie Angie’s Anniversary! Happy Anniversary Uncle Josh and Auntie Angie!
I love you! Megan loves you too.

Tiny and Medium
We found two tree toads. I named them Tiny (a boy) Medium (Tiny’s momma!). I have not found Giant this year yet ( Tiny’s daddy !). I do not know for sure, but I like to pretend.
Three-Toed Tree Toad
Author Unknown
A tree toad loved a she toad
That lived up in a tree.
She was a three-toad tree toad,
But a two-toed toad was he.
The two-toed toad tried to win
The she-toad’s friendly nod
For the two-toed toad loved the ground
On which the three-toed toad trod.
But no matter how the two-toed tree toad tried,
He could not please her whim.
In her tree-toad bower,
With her three-toed power,
The she toad vetoed him.
