Tidbit’s of life

For some reason Spencer had been obsessed with Jessie’s goggles the last few weeks.  It’s so funny to see him walking around with these on when it’s freezing outside.DSC_0032Jessie and her cousin had a great time dressing up as waiters after Mark’s birthday party.  That was funny!DSC_0050Abbie is so creative when it comes to making things…here is her tinker toy umbrella she also made raindrops from the Magnetix .DSC_0123Jessie readied her science fair experiment…which first started out as putting pennies in different solutions to see which would clean them the best….then changed (after we had done the whole penny experiment for an entire week) to see which thing would clean the stickers off our plastic tubs.DSC_0137DSC_0132

Her conclusion….that none of them really worked at all.  Isn’t that how most experiments go.

Jessie has also been very concerned about the people in Haiti and she and some of her friends went and talked with the principle of their school about doing a fundraiser for them.  Her principle said he would ponder their idea since the 6th graders were already collecting fleece material to make baby blankets to send with a group of BYU students who were going to Argentina.  She was so happy to show me the announcement the school newsletter that all the money from the Valentine candy grams would go to Haiti.  It even mentioned that this idea was from some girls in Mr. Tuesher’s class!DSC_0010Abbie celebrated the 100th day of Kindergarten!  She made the fun hat at school and then asked the teacher if she could bring home two extra ones and zeros to make some glasses.DSC_0011For one of our activity day activities the girls made Valentines and we delivered them to a local rest home.  We also sang  “You are my sunshine” to the people we visited.  The girls were super.DSC_0022

Love the goggles!! It reminds me of the part in Notting Hill and he can't find his glasses so he has to wear his prescription goggles to the movies! :)

Spencer showed Karina and I the goggles to us on the web cam too. Karina thought they were cool too. What a great little guy.
Is Jessie sporting mustaches from Mr. Potato Head? Silly girls!
Cool umbrella, Abbie!
Good luck with the science experiments!~
Jessie, that is great to be thinking of others! Great idea.
Conrad loved his hundred days of Kindergarten too!

I just love catching up on your blog! You have the best stories and the most creative kids. It's so fun to see what you're up to. And that jungle animal blanket Abbie is holding is the same fabric we have on Zach's blanket from Grandma! How about that! :)
