Rockwell’s 5th Birthday party was today.
5!
We had a “Bug related bowling party”.. That is, the theme was bugs, and the activity was, well, bowling!
OK, I don’t know if he has something, or he’s just lucky. But the last three times Rockwell has been bowling, he has had the high score of all the kids. He broke 100 last time, and had a 98 today. Anyway, click on the picture for a quicktime movie. (sorta large at 8 meg)
I don’t know why Melinda looks disappointed.. I think she had a spare here.
And this picture of Hannah turned out strange.. but this was right after her strike of the day.
Here is the birthday party! I’m pretty mad about not getting a picture of the cake.. Kath put a lot of work into it.
Rockwell received many bug related gifts.. one being a toy terrarium for your catches. Well, they had to find something to put into it of course.. so in no time at all, they had found a frog in the back yard.. and in it went.
And, Strangely enough, the Kath found this in Rockwell’s bedroom! Its a katydid. How it got in is a mystery.
Its hard to take picture of it for some reason.. but if your interested in doing this, its really simple… you want to use Ethyl acetate to kill them, because it keeps them pliable. You can use non acetone nail polish remover. (not methyl acetate)
Put some in a killing jar (google it), and put the bugs in.. let them die, and then pin them up. I like to put the bugs in poses.. It makes it a little interesting, and you get to see their wings. when they dry, you can pull most of the pins out.
