Escape

Last night Max decided to make a break for it when he went outside to do his business. The police apprehended him and we had to go bail him out in the morning. Here's how he looked when we found him. I guess if you want to make a little trouble at 100 dog years (14+), you shouldn't get in too much trouble.

Somehow Kurt turned 9 years old. I'm not really sure how he got so grown up on me.

Kurt decided to have two of his good friends. Ethan and Zach B., over for a birthday celebration. The evening consisted of a dinner of pizza and chicken, cake, Legos, video games and watching Star Wars Episode I.

Kurt decided he wanted a Lego-themed cake so I took a Mars Mission picture up to the bakery and here's what we got. Kurt ate the piece with the green alien on it.

Erich has been taking Karatenastics at the Little Gym since September and at the end of January his class held a demonstration during the last class of the session. The class did a line karate routine and each boy performed an obstacle course and at the end broke a board. Everyone in the class earned a medal for their hard work.
