Random Things

Jessie got to participate in the science fair this year. Her project was finding out what helps apples slices stay the whitest. She has this thing with the slightly browned apples in her lunch and they almost always come back home with her.

She tried: lemon juice, salt, pineapple juice, sugar, oil, butter, peanut butter, ground oatmeal and milk. The first three on the list were about the same for the first couple of hours, and then the lemon juice won out. So next time you give you kids apples slices for lunch put a little lemon juice on them so they don't come back home with them. Saturday morning we had a breakfast for everyone serving in primary. Then Grandma Jennie came over for lunch. Abbie enjoyed reading a new favorite book we picked up at the library called Romeo and Lou Blast Off by Derek Anderson. You can always spot a good book when the adult reading it is chuckling and this is one of those books.

After lunch we celebrated Grandpa's birthday. Abbie insisted on sitting on Grandpa's lap while he opened presents. It was an enjoyable afternoon.

Spencer being the ham that he is kept teasing Grandma trying to get in all the pictures and then getting way to close when she tried to get a picture of him.

Sunday morning Ken and the kids made chocolate chip cookies while I finished preparing my sharing time for primary. After church we had a friend whose wife was out of town over for dinner and then another family joined us for cookies and milk. We played Apples to Apples with the whole group and had quite a fun evening.
