Science Fair 2009

First, Nicholas comes home about a month ago with the assignment for the science fair. So, after spending a couple of days trying to decide what to do, he started on decomposing some leaves and fruit peel. His was the only one that was judged, but he didn't win anything.

(Notice the nice smile. He got his braces off--again)

Second, Derek comes home and says he needs a machine. Luckily, my brother and his wife helped when they were down here visiting. Jeff still was up late one night getting it all together.

THEN, I was so thrilled (ha ha) when Samantha came home and said she signed up to do a project. We tried growing grass in different ways, but as many science projects do, it failed. None of them grew.

I was glad that Kade did his as a class project. They tried different places in their classroom to grow mold.

Another year done--there's still next year.

You've heard the phrase "step on a crack, you'll break you're mother's back."

What about dad's back?

Well, when you put over 300 lbs of kids on it...I would say you would break his back too.

I think we've out-grown horsey rides to bed.

Yellow vs Red

Jeff has always been a Steelers fan, but when the Arizona Cardinals were in the Superbowl...







our house was divided. Kade was cheering for the Steelers,

Derek was cheering for the Steelers.

These are little jello helmets. The yellow crushed the Red. Oh well.
