The Mullis Family Circus

Welcome to our blog! I have started referring to our family as a constant three ring circus. With four children, separated by six years, two dogs, a husband who works A LOT, and a mom who never has time to finish anything and always has multiple things going at the same time, it's amazing this blog ever gets updated at all!! However, I do try to keep it as updated as possible because I LOVE to look at it to see what we were doing in the past, and I like having a place that all of our friends and family can reference to keep up with us. Bookmark us and check back to see what we're up to. With this crew, it is always something! (Please excuse typos! One day I'm going to go back and fix them! I'm always in such a hurry to post that I usually don't proofread. The English major in me dies every time I go through and see all of the typos, but the busy mom in me says, "I'll fix it when I have time!" So, look for corrections in , let's say, 20 years or so!!!)

More of Levi's 7th Birthday

 
For Levi's birthday, we went to the Macon Museum of Arts and Sciences, where they had some really neat exhibits.  In the first one, you got to listen to all kinds of sounds and learn how sounds are made.  (It was right up Corbin's alley since they had a section on artificial voice boxes and stuff.)  The kids' favorite thing was a jam room.  It was super neat.  It had all kinds of instruments, along with a working microphone.  It was a sound proof booth, and the acoustics were great.  They could have stayed in there making music all day.  Then, there was a small exhibit on how things work, machines, electricity, magnets, etc.  Finally, they had that "thing from Space Camp".  (That's what I call it!)  Levi and I tried it.  It was really neat.  Levi LOVED going there for his birthday.  Afterward, we ate at the Rookery, which was delicious, too!
 
 

Upon the kids' request, the lady brought Georgia out for a special birthday visit!  Her screeches scared Lorelei to death, but the other kids loved her, as usual!!

Levi wanted a Wild Kratts cake, so he got one.  I ordered a sugar sheet for the first time, but it turned out great!!  He loved it!


I think Ellie Ruth and Gray were as excited as he was!

 I made cupcakes for Levi's class again.  He wanted sharks, and they turned out really good, too.   Although, by the time I made it to his class, they had all fallen off of the stand and were very messed up.  The kids didn't care, thank goodness!!


I think Levi had a pretty good birthday!  He got lots of Legos, including Chima and Ninja Turtles.
