Sunshine Lambs Flips and More

 Just when we thought the weather was going glorious.
 They won't be fitting in one of these for long.
 When we thought it was spring the lambs enjoyed some time outside romping about.

 The chickens and roosters came over to see the lambs and show off a little.
 Or at least until I pulled out the phone to capture it on film.. which isn't actually film any more... ok, capture it on digital magic.

 Who in the world or in even a remote state of "right mind" would buy toys with this name?  Bathroom humor has gotten entirely out of hand.  Loathe it. Loathe it. Loathe it. Just really don't find it funny.  But really?! toys, too?!  And over 36 to collect.  Bizarro.  When I first saw a brown swirly pillow with emoji eyes and a smile I seriously thought it was ice cream.  I learned later it was not chocolate ice cream. I think I might have been a happier person should I have been born 100 years ago!
 This fool contraption is for shedding the egg shells off hard boiled eggs... but nothing works exceptionally well for farm fresh eggs, there is always a little more getting stuck involved.

 At hyper class this past Friday our TKD school had a special guest, 10 times world champ in xtreme martial arts, Mr. Max van Eck.  ATA seems to produce some really nice martial artists who are friendly and just want to make something good in the world today.
 Naturally Frodo participated.

 In this part, the participants made a large circle and someone went into the middle to show off some of their xtreme martial arts attempts.




 Afterwards those who are currently holding state champ titles were chosen to practice flipping on the special mat which is blown up for such antics.

 Frodo did his first full (I think it is called) but of course I didn't know it was something special since everything in hyper is kind of upside down but I could tell by the open jaw of our instructor/owner of our school that he did something pretty nifty for the first time.



 The next day Mr. Max van Eck held a seminar on x-treme martial arts in which... need I say... Frodo participated and had a great time.

 The 3 boys discussing... whatever flippers discuss.

 Meanwhile it rained, sleeted, hailed, snowed and sanded down any kind of precipitation you have ever heard of... all at the same time. 
 IT took a little longer than usual to get ourselves to Mass, driving 3-4WD vehicles.
That morning friends of ours' daughter received if First Holy Communion. I got a wee chuckle out of taking this picture while the snow flew!

Hyper flipping time with Max van Eck


Flipping with Max and Jake...
or at least until the phone cut out!
