Happy as a CLAM!!

Konnor's first rabbit! (I think you will appreciate the Kitty pictures once you see todays. Hope they aren't 1st for long)

Konnor and Drew gutting the poor thing!
Digging the final dissecting phase!

"Happy as a CLAM!" That was my 6 AM quote after I found out that we didn't have school today! Tuesday's are my best day to have off because that means no more kindergarten for another week. I know that sounds horrible but really have you spent 40 minutes trying to corale 25 kindergarteners into learning locomotor skill benchmarks. It isn't much fun!! So here is the day after 6 AM recapped....woke up and weighed 1.5 lbs more than the last two weeks....(i'm sure you can figure out why)....decided to sit in the College sauna before weighing in...missed my 10% key chain award that I have been breaking my back to make by .8lbs.....yes, you read correctly not even one pound! I know there is always next week but I really wanted it today! I came home and started hussling around to clean.....do laundry....and then sent K2 to WalMart to buy a new carpet cleaner. Now all of the couches and carpets on the first floor are CLEAN!!


Konnor and his friend Drew rode dirt bikes and hunted all day. K2 decided to take them rabbit hunting before his dentist appointment. The good news is that Konnor got 1.....the bad news....I got to help Drew and Konnor gut this rabbit while K2 went to the dentist. How wonderful?!

NOT!! I didn't enjoy the gutting or dismembering of the poor bunny fufu....but got into the dissection mode once we brought it into the kitchen.

You're right, those cats do look sweet about right now. Seriously, looks like fun Konnor!

So now I want to know where's the rabbit stew. When he gets to 8th grade he'll love the book Of Mice and Men.
