Education in Action

It's been a fun month at school watching the kids show off their hard work and learning! 

We had fun listening to Loyd and Xavier at their community band concert. Xavier even had a trombone solo! (Can you see him in his cool fedora hat?!)
Xavier competed and won 1st prize in his category at the middle school science fair.  Way to go, Xavier!  His project was trying to figure out which cooking oil pops the most popcorn kernels. (spoiler, no oil popped the most popcorn).  He also went to State FBLA and presented a computer game and he and his friend Nicolas has been working hard on.  Go, Xavier!

Owen learned all about Mahatma Gandhi and then got to portray him at the annual 3rd Grade Wax Museum.  He did an awesome job researching Gandhi, creating a fantastic informational board, and memorizing a speech to teach others all about Gandhi's great life accomplishments.  Good job, Owen!

Owen also learned all about how to make cheese from the high school agriculture teacher for a science lesson.  As part of the lesson he got to bring how all the supplies needed to make his very own mozzarella cheese.  We had fun making our own cheese from scratch for the first time ever and we had even more fun eating it.  It was so yummy!

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!
