she reads

all the time, often to other kids, or her stuffed bear, sometimes to no one else.  Love watching her as she tells the story and holds the book up for others to see, just like her teach must do.   Love listening to the story she creates part from the pictures and part from memory.  Love that I have a child who enjoys reading as much as I do.

Rock Tumbler

Rosie got a rock tumbler for christmas...when we read the directions it appeared that it took over 28 days to tumble rocks...who knew?  above after almost a month of waiting are the finished rocks.  I have to admit I don't miss the sound of that machine running day after day. The next round is going to be done in the summer so the machine can hang out in the garage thus not disturbing my sleep.  She was so excited to turn a couple of her favorite rocks into jewelery.  A great lesson in patience for my rock loving girl.

ice cream

we seem to consume a lot of ice cream, even when the weather is freezing ice cream is the go to snack.  she was so excited by these miniature containers of ice cream complete with it's own little spoon.

Post-it-notes

                                               it seems my life is filled with notes, reminders to do this

notes that are also left for members of my family...a few of the notes left this past week.

scrapbooks

its' moments like this that remind me why I love to scrapbook....

Science fair project

your experiment was to grow mold on bread...something we seem to have better luck doing when we aren't actually trying to do it.  You worked hard setting up the experiment and documenting your data.  Now it's time to turn it in and you are super excited to complete this project.

Roller coaster...

an assignment he received before christmas break, one he conviently forgot about during said break. A text from the teacher on January 1st with a reminder that the project would be due in a few weeks and that plans needed to be approved soon.  That look I dread, the one that says "oh crap I forgot about that assignment"  He said he was going to work on it and turn in the plans the next day...another text today saying that the projects were due this week and yet again "that look"
 after several hours of trial and error he had a roller coaster with three hills at least a meter tall and no more than two meters long, and bonus the car will actually race through it.

Doctor Who

I was reading this picture book to the daycare kids the other day
Just a snowman...a little critter book.  When I reached this page
Reyna exclaimed "hey! there's doctor who" 
and sure enough in the window of the oven is a picture of the Tardis.
guessing we have been watchin a little much of doctor who around these parts
Beckie is quite proud of her 4 year old sister who can spot a doctor who reference so quickly.
