Seahorses

Anika did a school project on Seahorses. We made seahorses out of melted beads and used salt dough, pipe cleaners, and foam for plants, rock and coral. She wrote a very good report and learned a lot of fascinating things about Seahorses. For instance, did you know male Seahorses carry the babies until they are born. That would be awesome! She practiced her report several times so that she would be ready for her oral presentation. I wish I could have seen the actual report but I know she did a wonderful job.

100th Day of School

Celtin celebrated his 100th day of school (a really big day for kindergartners) and he had to do a project where he glued 100 of something on a poster. After giving it some thought he decided to paint a monster and glue on 100 googly eyes. He did an awesome job!

FHE Treats

Celtin was in charge of FHE treats a little while back and he decided that since it was so cold (-30 degrees) we should have hot chocolate and make chocolate dipped spoons. The kids had fun dipping and decorating the spoons and making our chocolate pizza. We stuck them in the freezer to setup and after the lesson we all enjoyed stirring them into our hot chocolate. It was a great idea and a perfect treat for the cold temps. Lochlan enjoyed his dipped spoon without hot chocolate...notice the pool of chocolate under his chin in the second picture.

11 and Counting

Adam and I celebrated our anniversary back in January. Adam got a new TV and I got a new credenza for the TV to sit on. :) The kids were so excited to help Adam put it together. Adam does not particularly enjoy ready to assemble furniture but he is a good sport and let the kids help a lot. Celtin loved it and stayed next to Adam the entire time doing whatever he could. Anika helped for a while then lost interest and Lochlan just wanted to climb on everything. Adam and I went to a nice dinner at Gridley's to celebrate while Carli and Ryan watched the kids. Here is to 11 more crazy years together! Love you babe.
