Spike kept picking up snow and throwing it at his teacher. She was a great sport about it, and laughed every time!
By the end of it all, the kids were pretty much just eating the 'snow'.
It was tons of fun!

Snow Day
At Spike's pre school, they brought in a snow machine and made a day of winter fun for the kids!

Chapter 7
We woke up this morning to 54 degree weather. We like to warm ourselves up with a little hot chocolate and a bit of dancing!
During dinner Rik agreed to trim the bottom of Robyne's pants, but to do so she had to stand on a chair. After the alteration was complete, Boris asked her if she could reach the ceiling. She could not. She was about 6 inches shy, so... Rik said, "Jump!" The kids were very into seeing their Aunt Robyne jump, she unfortunately had a bit of trouble gathering the nerve. Spike seeing the struggle on her face, got up from his meal, walks over to her and says, "Aunt Robyne, take my hands, I will help you jump." You can imagine my reaction (tears). She gladly accepted the offer, and jumped. There is no sweeter kid alive.
Here are the sneakers Sarah and Josh got Spike for his birthday. They are the create your own converse. He was very excited! They have on them skulls, bones, and his name 'Speed'. He wears them almost every day. Thank you Belchers! We love you and miss you!

SAVING THE WORLD ON A DAILY BASIS
"Mayday! Mayday!"
"Earth Base Omega calling
Deadly-Magnificent-Emerald-Warrior!"
"Are you there Emerald-Warrior?"
"We need your help!"
"Yes, Earth Base, I am here!"
"What can the Shining Emerald Warrior help you with..?"
"Blessed Emerald Warrior, we need assistance! Please! Very important! We need to know..."
"What do the children want for lunch today..?"
"Very important!!"
...
...
"Ummmm...yes, Earth Base, the Shining Emerald Warrior will get right on that mission of such great importance..."
(I have infiltrated their inner circle...it's only a matter of time before the secrets of their lunch plans are revealed and I can transmit them to the waiting Intelligence Officials on Earth Base...)
L A T E R . . .
"Finished! The Mighty Emerald Warrior has triumphed again...a juice box to celebrate!"

Chapter Four
This is the sight I walked into after taking Boris to school today. Believe it or not, Spike is feeling much better. His temp was only 101.8 today! And he got his appetite back. He ate actual food for the first time in days.
As you can see, not much "happened" today for Spike, unless you count watching what very well may be an illegal amount of TV!

Chapter Two
This is our beautiful Spike anxiously waiting for us grown ups to get our shoes on so he can get in the van! You see that smile, right? Seems to be feeling better...?
This is Spike laid out on the couch. I was trying to capture his misery on film, but all that kid does is smile, so, I'll just have to tell you about it...
Again, I thought fresh air would do the kids some good. You know, get things moving. I was wrong. He was too sick. He was in the wagon with Hella and her blanket the whole time, so it wasn't a terribly exerting walk, but still.
When we got home, he felt a little too warm for my liking, so I took his temperature...104.3.
That's right. I did not mistype that. Robyne hopped on line and looked up what contitutes as dangerous, and believe it or not 104 is still not too bad as long as it doesn't stay for long periods of time. 107 can result in brain damage. Anyway, I did everything the websites said to do to lower his temperature, and it worked. It got down to 102.6!
Our sweet, strong, exhausted, and brave Spike turned in early, and is working very hard on getting better. Go, Spike!

Chapter One
Two nights ago Spike did not sleep.
He spent the entire night with what sounded like whooping cough. So, he stayed home from school the following day and pretty much just slept.
He seemed fine this morning, and since it was our "work day" at Beehive he went to school. Bad move.
He was not ready. He spent the entire time stuck to either myself or Rik, and if you know Spike at all, you know that is highly uncharacteristic, so he went home and slept.
Did I mention he got the pink eye? Well, he did! So now, Hella and Spike are down and out.
The house of disease from last Thanksgiving has returned with a vengence!

Fun with Spike
He was so happy to get a spider tattoo!
This was the first of many rides at the carnival. I literally couldNOT keep up with him!
One of the Dad's was kind enough to help our little Spike through.
He ran around so fast, I thought I'd lost him!

Happy Birthday Spike!
Here he is in the morning, opening more presents than he probably should have . *wink*
A Batmobile, of course.
A Spiderman head filled with tiny legos he had been begging us for.
Here is the blue cake with chocolate frosting. One of my best, I think!
This is the one picture where you can see evryone who came. Left to right: Delaney, Sullivan, Hella, Damien, Boris, and the birthday boy himself dutifully licking the candles clean!

Look at the Beehive Boy!
Don't let the look on his face fool you, he's happy!
He literally walked around all day smiling!
I thought he was going to burst!
The playdough table was by far his favorite, he kept coming back to it.
I can't believe my little Spike is going to school, it all feels so unreal.

Old and New
Hmmm... do I want to take that from her? Or should I just wait til she drops it?
Yeah, my shirt rocks, but not as much as ME! (hi Josh!)
Even though I had to wear this silly protective water gear, I still had fun!

THE DANGERS OF TOURISM IN THE RETRO FUTURE
The red-winged space-harpies of Calcyon IX are fearsome foes.
As if it wasn't enough that their talons can rend right through the hull of an unwary rocketship, they also carry scimitars forged in the acid volcanoes dotting their homeworld.
But have no fear hardy traveler, galactic-steam-adventurer
SPIKE SPEED (THE BOY OF A THOUSAND WISHES)
is on the job, and your travels to (and through) this area are well guarded!

Water Babies
Spike was awesome and fearless. He even had no problem peeing in the ocean...hey! the fish do it! (hee hee)
Yay! Aunt Anika was here to share in the festivities! The kids fell madly in love with her right away. Especially Spike, which, if you know him, is unusual. He is very shy when he first meets someone, but he knew from the start that she was awesome!Come back Aunt Nika! We miss you!

Whoo hoo!
You said there was going to be ducks!
You shouldn't tease a 2 1/2 year old, it just isn't right.
Daddy! The water's cold!
Look at my big muscles!
See?
