Piano Playing

Henry and Thomas have started piano lessons and are liking it so far. Henry wanted me to blog him playing a song. He is doing great.

Guess what this is!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

Where, Oh where is this is our house?

Thomas was taking picture today.

Take a guess, I will tell you at the end of the pictures.

It is our Fireplace!!!!!

Normal Week Activities

Thought I would take pictures of what we do in a normal week!!!!

Lizzy had her first swimming lessons today. She was able to have it with all her good friends!!!
She loves the water and even better she can touch the ground. (Henry couldn't for a long time.)
Henry and Thomas also have swimming lessons during the week but their pictures didn't come out. (I didn't want to embarrass them by going closer then the bleachers.)

Lizzy and I also go to Story time on Friday. She loves going. Our librarian is awesome.

Jenn (the librarian) dances and sings a lot of the books.

This week the boys were able to go to Gene Calder's house and did slot car racing. One of the boys favorite cub scout activity!!!!

I don't know who has more fun Gene Calder or the boys.

Lizzy also does gymnastics on Wednesday.

She looks so cute in her outfit. She has so much fun.

She loves Cami her teacher.

Of-course there is other stuff we do. But here are just some of the highlights.

Experiments

We have been trying to make crystals. We have done two experiments and both have not been great. The first one we used charcoal. There were little crystals but not as big as we would have like.

The second experiment we tried making sugar crystals. It has been a little better. You can see some forming on the picture below. I think I am going to leave this jars out for a couple of months and see what happens. (We need to have some days without rain).

Anyway, we have one more experiment we are going to try out. If you have any recipes for growing crystals we would love to try them.

Henry the Cub Scout

Ready to go to his first "offical" den meeting

Henry got to start a couple of months early. (There are advantages of having your mother as the den leader)!!!!
Henry got his Bobcat on Friday. He thought pack meeting was really fun!!!!

The best part about pack meeting is the treats at the end.

Henry loves being a cub scout!!!

Grandma's Visit

Well, I took NO pictures while grandma was here----So you will have to imagine what we did. We hung out. We played games and games and even more games. Grandma taught Henry how to play chess. Then the boys couldn't get enough playing time after that. We also played a couple of new games we got for Christmas. It was great!!!!! We also went for a couple of walks and ate out a couple of times. It was really nice and relaxing. The boys said their favorite part was playing games and Lizzy loved helping Grandma!!!!

This week we have been busy going here and there. It seems like I haven't been home. And when I am home I am cooking meals.

Lizzy is a sunbeam

What more can I say. Isn't she a cute sunbeam!!!!
