The first half of February 2015

We thought about starting out February with a mad dash to see the ground hog on Groundhog Day (the real one, in Punxsutawney), but alas, the blizzard schedule had other ideas. So, we found other things to do. Amanda drew a disco version of Larry the Cucumber from Veggie Tales.

 Jared took ordinary stuffed lizard and added wings (shown just behind the critter, now attached) to make a dragon.

 Jared also made a cool fish at school.

 There were magnetic robots to play with.

 And also a big, tall animal puzzle.

 The Muffins all went to the dentist. We found a train table, a kangaroo with brushable teeth, and a baby zebra. To Mom's delight, the dentist didn't find any cavities. Yay!

 Amanda kept busy with some karate.

 Mom did something she'd never thought she'd do: seriously considered buying critter clothing . . . for a cat. Bottle feeding bald kittens does strange things to people.
