Colorful worms

Not sure where my kids got their love for worms, but they love playing with them! They think they are soft and love to have them wiggle in their hands. Often, I get asked to hold the worms, NO THANK YOU!!

Recently the kids have been collecting worms and putting them in a dump truck. They (the kids) have built a nice house for the worms. Lots of dirt, grass, rocks, flowers and of course water. We now have a little worm habitat growing in our backyard. The kids check on the worms frequently, holding them when needed. (Which is quite often).

The other day the kids were playing with sidewalk chalk in the back yard. I had them color the rocks thinking it would not go any farther than that. I went in the house for a moment and when I came back outside, sweet Allie came to show me her worm. "Don't you like my pretty colorful worm?" she asked. Yes, you heard that right, colorful! She colored her worm with chalk. Silly girl. She even put him in a plastic egg for safe keeping.

Not sure if the worms liked being colored or not, but they were trying to color them again today. I tried to explain that worms do not really like to be colored on. We'll see if they remember that the next time they play outside with the chalk. All 3 kids giggle when they hold the worms and they start to wiggle in their hands. The girls even try petting the worms and say they are so soft and pretty. Not sure we are looking at the same thing here. I never thought of worms as pretty.

Cake pictures are up!!

Thank you so much to Lisa and Sabrina at Just Desserts for doing such an awesome job on Trevor's cake! He loved it!! Also, thanks to Icing Smiles for setting this up for us! We were truly blessed by you all!

CELEBRATION

We had a great time celebrating Trevor's life with a few of our family and friends. We were able to raise some money for Children's hospital as well as gifts for the kids who are staying there. Trevor did well knowing that all the gifts that he received were going to Children's hospital.

Trevor had an amazing cake donated by Our Just Desserts. They did a wonderful job! It was a 3 tier cake that featured Buzz Lightyear. It had a lego theme on the bottom tier. Buzz was in the middle and outerspace graced the top. There were even stars and the moon coming out of the top tier. I will post pics soon!

We went to one a birthday party over the weekend for one of Trevor's friends little sister. (She is a heart kiddo too, our kids shared a room during their OHS stay at Children's) It was so fun to watch them playing together. It was hard to imagine this 5 years ago when they had just underwent OHS and were recovering. The future was a blur. Unknown. Now we are planning their future. Izzy was asking if someone could marry her. Trevor said he would :) Wouldn't that be something. These kids meet in the hospital as babies undergoing OHS and someday they marry each other.

Thank you so much for everyone's support during Trevor's surgeries and all the time in between.  Hopefully we will have a few more years until his next open heart surgery.
