LR: Do cats need to eat anything except meat?

Mom: Well, they’re obligate carnivores, which means they have to eat some meat to survive. They can’t process plants and get all the nutrients they need that way.

(RJ suddenly joins the conversation, hijacks it, and manages to drive it into the sun)

RJ: (speaking a mile a minute) Cats are carnivores. But do you know what? Dogs are carnivores too. They LOVE meat. They’ll eat meat all the time. Our dog, Scarlet? She loves to eat meat. She even loves hunting, especially around Easter time… She hunts rabbits.

In May, Mom enjoyed a bit of a sleep in while RJ planned to conquer the world, with style. Poppa and Grammy took us to a great place to hide from Dad, and Joey soccer started up again, this time with RJ on board. Up at Gingin, we built version 1 of a flying fox (zip-line), which suffered from some serious design flaws, but was pretty fun regardless.

LR watches as Mom reads the Mother's Day card that she made.

RJ works on one of his amazing inventions. I think this one was the bacteria to destroy the world.

We stopped by the location formerly known as the "Knock it down house", now renamed the "Build it up house". The kids weren't thrilled... at first.

But after they discovered how good it was for hide and seek from Dad, they had a terrific time.

RJ worked on his different looks. This one required a toothpick before it was complete.

RJ was chillin' in the giant freezer full o' meat shop. They provide the coats; RJ provides the style.

Joey Soccer started up again, and this year, RJ's on the team.

RJ's pretty quick on the field, and plays well, provided he doesn't get distracted by anything shiny.

Go for it, RJ!

At Gingin, Mom watches as LR and Poppa bring the tractor around. It's project building time!

Dig, dig, dig! This is where we'll need the post.

RJ gets ready to ride...

Zoooooooooooom!

LR rides! Go, go, go!!!

Dad: How about this one? What animal is beef made from?

LR: Pigs?

Dad: No.

LR: Cows?

Dad: Yes!

Dad: One more… What is venison?

RJ: Lion food!

RJ: I want some m??t chewing gum.

Dad: Mint gum? Oh sure, I guess you can try it sometime. Keep it in your mouth though.

RJ: NOT MINT!

Dad: You didn’t like mint last time you tried it.

RJ: Yes. Not mint. MEAT!

Dad: You want… meat… chewing gum.

RJ: Yes! It would be very yummy. Do you think mum will want some too?
