Rest in Peace, Little Popcorn

-
This week we had joyful comings and sad partings.  We adopted three little mice, Buttercup (tan), Licorice (black), and Popcorn (white with tan spots).  However, Popcorn came to us unwell.  On Saturday morning little Popcorn passed peacefully away in his sleep.  It was too brief a time to know and love him.  He will be missed, but we are grateful we could love him and care for him.  We gave him a beautiful burial by the jasmine bush in the front yard.  Maeve said a beautiful graveside prayer on his behalf and kind words were offered about him by Maeve, Mom, and Dad.  Maeve has left two memorial stones to honor and remember Popcorn.  Until we meet again, little Popcorn.

The kids and I have been working hard to keep our driveway and the driveways of some of our elder neighbors cleared after all of this wonderful snowfall.  It's been a fun wintertime treat.  The ward to the child who shoveled the most for this storm goes to Rebekah!  She's a pretty awesome snow shoveler despite her preference for warm

Xavier is getting down to work on this year's science fair project.  He's testing to see which oil is best for popping popcorn.  It's important science. John and Diana are enjoying playtime inside boxes, because boxes are the best, of course! John is starting to have fun playdates with friends from the neighborhood.  It's so fun to find good friends who share a love in all things Paw Patrol!
