Creativity of Kids
It has been cold and rainy, which means we are inside a lot. We really cannot go anywhere in the rain since we don't have a car. After the grocery delivery came, the kids thought of a new toy, a boat. The boat is a pack of jumbo diapers. The seats, two packs of baby wipes. Since no pirate ship is complete without telescopes, we have empty toilet paper rolls. This literally entertained them for about a week. Then the bag of diapers were starting to rip, and it turned from a boat to a gate for the farm animals.
Selwyn Scholar
Last Wednesday night, Jon was inducted as a Selwyn Scholar. The award is based on your previous academic record. The ceremony consisted of your name being called and walking up and writing your name in the book of all the other Selwyn Scholars, dating to the 19th century. It was a very formal ceremony (with lots of Latin). It is interesting here, all the big ceremonies are not open to families. Therefore we have no pictures to show. After the ceremony, there was a very nice dinner. The picture below is a the main hall set for a formal dinner. Before dinner the master butler comes into the Master's Lodge, where all are assembled, and bangs on a wooden gavel, then saying: "Dinner is Served."

Kiah and Jacob have a wonderful imagination!
I love it that your kiddos can have fun with watever is around. The ceremony for Jon being inducted as a Selwyn Scholar is very exciting in that it dates back as far as the 19th century. By the way, I just noticed that your little one, Jacob, has red hair...a color that I am most fond of!
