Aeva's First 100%

Aeva is in first grade and took her first spelling test.

I think we are off to a pretty good start!  Good job, Ms. Aeva!

6th Grade Science Day

Just a little observation...Maddie is getting WAY too big. Where does the time go? 

 The 6th grade had a Science Day and I went over to help. They put me in with the firemen. How could I object? Men in uniforms? Ok, if I must.

They let the kids use their night cameras that can see in the dark and detect heat.  The kids loved seeing their fingerprints, footprints and yes...butt prints all over the benches.

Then they got to try on some of the gear.  Hannah just finished doing a cartwheel in the 20 pound uniform.  Funny.

I think Maddie would make an awesome firewoman.  However, she might need some longer shorts.  This is too close to a flasher look for me.

That tank is pretty heavy.  Makes me glad that all I ever have to lift is a stethoscope.

Thanks 6th grade teachers!  You make school an amazing and fun place to learn.

Grandma Hazel

My Grandma Hazel had to have a heart ablation.  

We are happy that she did well and is now home and feeling better.  

This picture makes me happy that I have 3 little girls.  

When I am 88, I know they will come and take care of me!  

Sock Curls

My girls are constantly asking me to curl their hair. I don't mind curling but when you have three heads of hair...it takes more than a minute or two.  We found a video that showed how to do sock curls.  We decided to give it a try.

Troy might need to buy some new church socks because they actually turned out quite well.  Not sure why I didn't take a picture the next day.  I'll do better next time.

Boxes and Mazes

Gracie has some amazing friends.  They often do the silliest things and have the most fun doing it.

Can they get any cuter?

Once you are done with the box, you turn it into a maze for your hamster.

Cardboard is a fantastic toy.
