Science Fair 2010

Jacob was required to do a Science Fair Project this year as part of his grade. They have a choice to enter it though, and he chose to. His project was about meteorites and if the speed of a meteorite affects the size of a crater. He did a great job! It's nice to have one of these done and so now we'll know what to expect in future years.The projects were judged on Saturday and they had them on display today at the school.

Jacob was very excited to get 4th place in his division of Earth & Space. He also received the Creativity Award for his division.Great job Jacob!

Savannah's class did a project as a class and she was very excited about it.

Zach's class also did a project, but he didn't tell me that until after I went to see them.

Savings

Zach has been saving ALL of his money since the new year in order to have the minimum deposit for a savings account. That is one of his goals for the year, and he fulfilled it on Saturday. Way to go Zach!

Bowling Boy

On Friday Connor, Landon and I went on a field trip to the bowling alley with some friends. Connor's favorite game to play on the Wii is bowling, so he was very excited to go and do the "real thing" again. We got a tour of the bowling alley. This is the adult section that is closed off to kids after 8:00pm. But you can request this section during the day for no extra cost! We got to go back behind the lanes and see how the pins are picked up and everything.

It was REALLY loud and most of the kids were not happy about that.

Then we got to bowl!

Connor did the happy dance every time he sent the ball down, whether it hit anything or not.

Thanks for letting us come friends!

Lauree's Daily Thoughts

I decided to add a new list to the sidebar of my blog. Since this is technically my journal I want to remember some of the little things that happen throughout my days with 5 kids. So this is kind of like Facebook posting, but it will be able to become part of my journal too.

Savannah's First Piano Lesson

Savannah has been begging me for the last few months to start playing the piano. She is finally reading well enough that I think she'll be okay with it. And I might as well start her now while she's excited about it. We had her first lesson yesterday and I have to say that it is so refreshing to do a lesson where the child is happy about it!!! Savannah has had the longest fingers ever since she was born, and I've always wondered if that would help her in playing the piano. Now we'll find out!

6 months old

Our sweet Landon is 6 months old today!!! He is celebrating by being really cranky while he gets new teeth. But I can still get some good smiles from him, even when he's grumpy.

Snake Storytime

Yesterday I took Connor to a special story time at the library. They have a pet snake there named "Ms. Rocksssssane." Connor loves to see the snake every time we go. Well this week it's the snake's birthday (14 years old in case you're wondering). Story time was all about snakes. Connor was SO excited.At the end they had all the kids make a line to put on hand sanitizer before touching the snake. You know, so the snake doesn't catch a cold from all the kids germs...I thought that part was funny. Connor was still excited.

Then they actually brought the real snake out and he freaked out. Huge tears welling up in his eyes and the saddest face you've ever seen. So he didn't pet the snake, but still had a fun time. As soon as he left the room he wiped his eyes, smiled, and said "Let's go get some books about anacondas!"
