Last Day of School (of Rock!)

My kids are crazy. I forgot to mention last night, I came home and this is what I found on the dining room table.


Yes, Jake has several Kritter Keepers at his disposal...but they are intended for beetles and lizards. Maybe an occasional praying mantis. But a full-size crab? Really?! In case the scale of this thing doesn't register...that is the largest size cage. This guy is big! There are 4 or 5 smaller ones in here, too. (Mental note: Keep Jake away from those inlet canals. Seriously!)



Speaking of crazy...Jake decided he wanted to go all Angus Young for the last day of school. My children are nothing if not individuals.



Speaking of individuals...Patrick wore spandex pants. All. day. long. No, they are not pictured here. I made him put some real pants on. LOVE this picture, though. Can you guess how he did this? No, he did not jump off the roof (he wanted to, but I stopped him). He ran toward the wall, jumped with his feet toward it, hitting the wall and bouncing off while turning around to strike this pose. Pretty cool, no?

Happy Summer, everyone!
