Sunday was Joshua's 9th birthday. He says he had a great day. 
We made him a creepy-crawly chocolate cake:
On Monday evening, as Mommy was setting the last dish on the supper table, the heavy glass lid slipped off and landed on Joshua's plate. The plate shattered; pieces flying across the table, into Josh's lap, and onto the floor. Josh was unhurt, but supper was a bit delayed while we combed the floor with a fine-toothed comb for microscopic shards of Corelle.
On Thursday we all went apple-picking.
We spent all of Friday evening making applesauce. Everyone helped wash, cut, cook, mash, and can, even the littlest ones. We filled 55 one-quart jars, but we need at least 200 to last us all year, so we'll have to make some more sauce next week.
Today, the girls made Star Trek communicators and rank insignia to further enhance our Star Trek fun. (In case you were unaware, our family has been working our way through the Next Generation episodes and we're a bit obsessed.) Here's all of us in our best Trekker uniforms:
Happy Birthday to Josh!
