Four on Friday
Friday, April 15, 2016 at 10:37AM 1. We've been watching a weird lot of Food Network here lately...Next Food Network Star, Cutthroat Kitchen, Iron Chef, etc. This has Micah, in particular, all excited. He's been taking cooking classes at Options each year since he was five, so he kinda enjoys cooking. ;) He really loves Alton Brown (of Good Eats fame, among other things...whose current US tour does not include a stop in Colorado, much to Micah's disappointment) and thinks he might want to be a chef when he grows up. So, on our last one-on-one night (just me and Micah), his request was to hang out in bookstores looking at cookbooks by Food Network chefs. This is him at The Cupboard. We hit two more bookstores and had dinner after that. :)
2. Noah registered for his fall semester classes yesterday! It's nice to have that checked off the list. All of his classes will be Front Range Community College classes and on that campus next fall, which I suppose will be easier than navigating both that and having some classes on the CEC campus like he's been doing this term. He ended up having to call the school to complete his registration, though. He more than met the prerequisites for his Chemistry 111 class, but the system didn't recognize that he had...because his first math class at FRCC is Calculus. Apparently, it was only set up to recognize Algebra or Trigonometry as meeting the prerequisite...which is a little bit annoying since we already went through that when he registered for Calculus in the first place (and had to get his transcript adjusted/accepted to merge the two school's records and such).
3. Asher successfully mowed the yard for the first time ever yesterday. He was pretty excited about it (though not about wasps, lol), since it's a way for our boys to make a little more money. (Most chores are simply required but a select few can earn money.) Until now, Noah was the only one who had that available. (Micah really needs to get big enough to handle the lawnmower, as he's routinely broke compared to his brothers, lol.) In any case, we had him do this yesterday on account of how this weekend probably won't work...
4. ...because we're, of course, under a Winter Storm Warning and they're predicting many inches of snow this weekend. Lovely. If the temperatures stay warm enough (I think it may have hit 80 yesterday), it may just be rain at our "lower" elevation (of about a mile high)...with the snow staying in the mountains. But, that wouldn't be great news for our rivers and streams. Snow, though, won't be good for some of our plants...like my fun little tulip hybrids (?) that are blooming right now:
Alas, that's what we get for living here in Colorado, I suppose. :) Here's hoping at the very least that the more severe weather holds off until Saturday night, since we need to drive down to Denver tomorrow for the boys' final JOAD tournament of the season. Whew.

We love watching Food Network shows here also! Chopped, Cutthroat Kitchen, and The Great Food Truck Race are some of the boys' favorites. :) They all enjoy cooking and are working on their cooking and "presentation" skills.
