Where's Aspen?




This is Aspen's favorite new game -- hid in the pantry. She opens the door, enters the dark pantry and then closes the door and a few seconds later you start to see these little fingers peeking out under the door. She doesn't say anything she just gives a little hint of her whereabouts with her fingertips. This is especially amusing to me since we had a cat, named Skittles, who would do the exact same thing. We would put Skittles in the bathroom or the laundry room over night so she wouldn't roam through the house and wake us up and as soon as the door was closed she would stick her paw under the door -- just to be sure we didn't forget where she was!

Aspen also got to indulge in Grandpa's popcorn ritual. You can ask any of our kids who makes the best popcorn and they will tell you it is Paul! He has just the special touch for adding the right amount of butter and salt and then tossing it just enough to evenly cover all the popcorn. The real trick is for anyone to be able to access his tasty stash -- he shares but only reluctantly. Aspen tried using a spoon at first and then realized popcorn is a fingerfood!
