Scooter

I have neglected posting about Scooter. I don't really care for Scooter too much. "Who is Scooter," you say? Scooter is the newest addition to our family. (It is becoming a zoo in here!)

Hunter wanted to buy a hermit crab, so we traveled to the pet store and came home with Scooter. I really underestimated the creepiness of this crab. Seth and the kids think I am looney for being creeped-out by this thing. They think he is "cute". How can that "thing" be cute?

Anyway, Scooter loves to climb on his cage walls and then fall off. It is pretty entertaining to watch...from a distance. My favorite part about the crab is that his cage comes with a plastic palm tree. That's funny! The good thing about Scooter and Sammy (Jordan's fish) is that the kids are learning to be more responsible. Here's a picture of Scooter climbing on his cage.

Up on the Housetop!

Seth and I always said that the kids had to be 10 yrs old before they were allowed to go up on the roof. Well, guess who turned 10 this year?! Of course, it was Hunter! He has been waiting for about 3 years to get the opportunity to go up on the roof to help put up Christmas lights. I have never seen him so excited to help out with such an arduous task (at least Seth makes it sound like it is!). He stayed on top of the roof even though it was cold, it was quite breezy, and at one point started to sprinkle. The sky should have opened up and poured down, at least according to the radar online; but God made that cloud break up in the nick of time and it only sprinkled for a few minutes. Thank you Lord! Anyway, enjoy the pictures of this momentous day.

Thanksgiving
