22 February 2012

Today is 'Redcoat Day' by Rose Pink's official decree.  We are all wearing red today. 
 
On Feb 4, Rose Pink decided we should celebrate hedgehogs.  If groundhogs have a day, why not their more adorable cousins?  We celebrated by making hedgehog donut holes with chocolate icing and brown sprinkles, which was enormously popular and will probably be repeated next year.
 
This weekend our friends Holly and Michael from Davenport came to visit.  We went to an animal show at a hotel that had a petting zoo and a bunch of hands on animal pelts and skulls.  The kids were totally fascinated.  They got to pet and hold rabbits, an alligator, a snake, and yes, a hedgehog.  The hedgehog was poky.  There was also a raptor show/lecture - Rose Pink attended with Michael & Holly and the kids have been pretending to be owls all week.
