BIG FISH
On Monday each crew had to walk across the floor stepping only on paper plates. Each time they took a step, they had to say someone or something they were thankful for.
The BIG FISH made 40 blankets to donate to an organization called Project Linus.
The BIG FISH tested their bravery by running through a course while trying to avoid being hit with splash balls.
These are the items we collected so we could put together care packages for soldiers stationed overseas. We did some fun activities on Friday. This is donut-on-a-string - it's pretty self-explanatory.
One of our living sculptures.Our final activity was an obstacle course. Each BIG FISH had a limitation assigned to them - they couldn't use their arms, their legs, their mouth, or their eyes. They had to help each other through the course, after putting on a bag of clothes (including a wig and a boa - it was pretty funny.)

Stringbean
-weight: 23 lbs., 6 oz - 15% (that's a jump from 7% at his year check-up)
-length: 33 1/2 inches - 85% (he has grown 5 inches in the past 6 months!)
-his little peanut head is still spot-on average
He DID NOT enjoy this visit to the doctor, and he screamed through the entire exam. The anger and indignation faded quickly, however; he was completely calm two minutes after we walked out of the room. He is built like me, and from what I understand, he acts like I did at this age. Aahhhh, the circle of life.
