On Monday, we made "yellow snow" from Ayson's "Gross Science Lab" kit. The project was on super absorbent polymers and used a few crystals from a disposable diaper to expand more than 100 times in size.
The toilet is a mixing bowl and you press the red button to make the bowl spin (includes a flushing sound too)
Yellow snow!
Super hero lego time
Addie playing with her magnetic Marine Animal Rescue Center kit.
Look at Addie's expression as she puts the girl through the door.
Making bracelets on Tuesday night.
TaDa! The finished Lego super hero: Iron man
On Saturday, Mommy and Addie joined Sunshine and Mikhan at Spaghetti Warehouse where we watched a children's version of Alice in Wonderland. The audience was encouraged to dress up so Addie wore her Cinderella dress:)
A very nice Mom asked if we wanted our picture taken while sitting in the tall "Princess Chair"...but of course!
The play was great and the actors and actresses interacted with the audience, much to the delight of the children. Both Addie and Mikhan liked the show and did a great job of listening and participating.
Grandpa Chuck came out for a visit and the kids wasted no time in getting his help with Legos AND as a horse/chair :)
Daddy and Grandpa made spaghetti sauce, yum! Both kids wanted to sit next to Grandpa...so Mommy and Daddy got to eat sitting next to each other!
Ah, MORE Legos!
On Sunday, Sam and Ben (the two boys that go to day care with Addie) came over to our house to play so that their mom, Lucy, could go grocery shopping and get a few chores done while her husband is "frolicking" in Belize for TWO weeks (he is helping to teach a marine biology course...such a hard life). Mommy took a 2 week Belize course while in undergrad and loved it. Scott (Scott is also Mommy's work colleague) will owe Lucy BIG time when he gets home. Mommy sees a spa weekend (or longer) in Lucy's future ;)
The Sam and Ben were great and it was fun to see the four kiddos interacting together as they have grown up with each other while at day care.
A big toy explosion in the play room (Mommy likes to think of it as "organized chaos" during the week)
They fought over the card board box but finally calmed down once they were all inside. Thanks for the 2 boxes of kid clothes, Auntie Holly! The check is going in the mail this week!
After lunch, we went for a walk in the orchard and then played on the fort. The day had temps in the 50s! BUT, we are supposed to get lake effect snow this coming week.
A bit of Ayson's school work:
Great coloring job, Big Guy!
LOVE this picture! We asked Ayson why Addie was not in the pictures. Ayson: "Because she is not my parent" :)
