A Little Bit of This and a Little Bit of That

 Look how is rockin' it on morning Safety Patrol!  Yea Loyd!  The best 5th grader for helping kids get out of their cars and into school every morning.

Science Fair Fun!


Rebekah counting popcorn for her 7th Grade Science Fair project - Poptastic!   The Science of Popping the Perfect Popcorn.
Spoiler Alert!:  The best home method for popping perfect popcorn is the Air Popper!!!
(SOOOO Much Popcorn was Popped and Counted....)
This awesome 7th Grade Scientist earned a coveted Honorable Mention for her poptastic experiment, presentation, and board.  Awesome job, Babe!


Loyd experimenting with different soil types to grow the biggest, tastiest radishes - Rad Radishes and the Science of Soil.
Spoiler Alert!: Cactus soil was the surprise winner.  We think it was mostly due to the unheard of 24 inches of rain we happened to get the month we did our experiment.  SouthEast Texas really means business when it comes to rain.
Loyd earned a Third Place ribbon for his enlightening and surprising experiment in radish growing.  Awesome work, Son! I'm so proud of how you stuck with it and had fun researching the topic to pull of an awesome log book, report, and powerpoint.

Mr Monkey, the "class pet" from Maeve's Kindergarten class came home to party with us one weekend.  We made sure to show him a great time with a balloon party, homework fun disguising a turkey before Thanksgiving, making a fizzy bath bomb, and having fun with our Primary CTR 5 class at Church on Sunday.

It's About Time We Got Some Snow Around Here

It's been a bit of a warm and dry winter, until our latest epic snow storm!!  We didn't get as much snow as high elevations, but I'm happy with 9 inches in 3 days.  Diana is all in when it comes to playing in the snow, the little boys have been busy as beavers digging snow forts, and Maeve has found that digging out snow paths with her friend Lilly is a great way to "chill" during the afternoon.  :D  The big kids have been busy helping Dustin and I keep the street shoveled out.  Dustin wakes up early every morning to use my Dad's snow plow to clear all of the sidewalks on our street  before the kids have to walk to school. The kids and I have been working hard to keep our driveway and the driveways of some of our elder neighbors cleared after all of this wonderful snowfall.  It's been a fun wintertime treat.  The ward to the child who shoveled the most for this storm goes to Rebekah!  She's a pretty awesome snow shoveler despite her preference for warm

Xavier is getting down to work on this year's science fair project.  He's testing to see which oil is best for popping popcorn.  It's important science. John and Diana are enjoying playtime inside boxes, because boxes are the best, of course! John is starting to have fun playdates with friends from the neighborhood.  It's so fun to find good friends who share a love in all things Paw Patrol!
