Summer of STEM

I am super excited to introduce the kids to STEM. 

Never heard of it?  It's a way of teaching kids to excel in 

Science, Technology, Engineering and Math. 

I hope to have a summer full of learning in this fun way. 

To start us off, the kids chose to do a lesson on color. 

We did the magic milk experiment first. 

It was a lot of fun to observe the chemical reactions 

and to see the primary colors combine to form

new colors.  

Fisherman Level: Expert

Harlan's first fish that he caught all by himself!

Look at those proud smiles from both him and big sis!

Definitely have a couple of 

experts on my hands here!

He's got skillz

Harlan learned how to blow up a balloon all by himself! 

There was an ol' woman....

...who lived in a shoe...

She had so many babies, she didn't know what to do.

Learning to Appreciate!

We've shown our appreciation for teachers with a little sweet treat for each day! Thank you teachers for all you do!

Zippity Zoo Dah

We love going to the zoo! 

This time, both Waverly and Harlan insisted on writing a list

of all the animals we saw.  Most exciting on our visit? 

Definitely meeting baby Kindi.

We are so glad to get to see this baby grow and how happy she is.

Sweetness

Snuggled and watching a movie before bed and I find them like this. 

Sweetest sis and brudder ever!

Mothy

H has a "pet" moth that flew away. He's chasing it, and saying "Come back Mothy!"

Wavy, slightly exasperated, replied, "Harlan, it takes weeks and weeks for it to understand you."

Just a boy and his dog

Here comes Peter cottontail....

As Easter approaches once again, I realize that I am a year behind on my blog posts.
While I regret that I am not up-to-date, I'm not at all sad that I've been focusing on living life instead
of only documenting it.  So while I love sharing with my family and friends, we just may have to back date it a bit.  :)

Enjoy pcitures from last Easter as we get ready for another day of blessings!

Easter Ready!

Crafts... crafts everywhere!

Child Labor

Fortunately, they love doing their chores.  :)

Boys are silly

Charlie really doesn't like it when his littlest best friend cries. (Me either, especially when it's bc he wants a new toy....) 

Literally 2 seconds later.... And no, no new toy. 

Monkey's jumping on the bed!

When you realize that those are your monkey's... 

and that is most definitely your circus. 

Life with a brother

He put a booger on her pillow. #lifewithabrother

H was here.

This kid...

What? Don't you order dinner in full motorcycle gear?....
