Science Experiment

A friend of ours Shana Cooper posted on Facebook a science experiment she did with her kids.  She took different liquids and put them outside to see which ones would freeze.  I thought it was a great idea so I copied a page out if her book. 

The liquids we picked were: soy sauce (girls love it), salt water, water, beer, apple juice, oil, coke, and pickle juice.   As you can see Tim made sure we excersied the full scientific method.  We charted each one of our hypothesis.

Unfortunately we didn't put them far enough away from the house, because our control (water) hadn't frozen overnight. 

So tonight at dinner we picked up our samples and Isabella recorded the results.  

Not entirely satisfied,  we're going to leave them out one more night to see if more things freeze.  Stay tuned for part two!

Timmy's first haircut

My little man was looking a little shaggy, so we took him in for his first professional haircut.  Aimee and Cary were relieved I didn't let Tim "trim him up" as they were not fans of his last attempt at cosmetology.   These pictures above and below are what Timmy looked like before his cut. 

 

As you can imagine, the experience was not at all pleasant for him.  I actually had to step away so he wouldn't see me in order for Holly, his stylist, to cut his hair.   The picture below was the "first" cut.

 

The girls tried real hard to calm him by blowing bubbles and playing with him, and it worked to some extent.   

 

It's amazing the difference a clean cut makes, I was shocked at how his neckline changed in just a few snips.  

Here is the final product, he went from being my little baby boy to my little boy in a matter of minutes.   Pretty handsome if you ask me.

These two crack us and their teachers up.  So cute!

Happy Birthday Aimee!!

 

It's Aimee's birthday week and since she's leaving for South Carolina, we celebrated early.  My dad, the kids and I met her and Cary for a fun dinner at La Parrilla.  The girls made glittery cards and bought balloons that they presented her upon arrival. 

 

Happy Birthday baby sister!  Thank you for all you do, it does not go unnoticed.

Timmy at Nine Months

 

Timmy turned 9 month yesterday.  It's so hard to believe that it's been nine months since he surprised us that New Years Day.  I am asked on a daily basis, "Is he always this good?" and the truth is...YES! He only cries when he's extremely tired (usually because he's being toted around to keep up with his sisters busy schedule) or when he's hungry. 

 

He started pulling up about a week ago and hasn't stopped since.  Gone are the days of my sweet baby sitting put... he's still sweet but is constantly on the go. 

 

He's turning into a fast crawler and he scoops up every speck of dust or hair as if they are food.  This certainly puts my domestic capabilities to the test. :)
