Games and Projects

We are continuing to have fun times with my brother. His visits are so special. I really wish we could see him more than once or twice a year. He and David have such a great relationship though and it continues to get stronger as David gets older. One neat thing that happened yesterday was David realized how much he looks like Uncle Boyd as a boy - he was fascinated. And I tell you they really look alike at that age!!

We have done a little, and I do mean little, school this week because we are devoting most of our time to Uncle Boyd. A couple of the fun things we have done are related to solutions and dilutions. We took paint and added water and painted with both to see the difference, which wasn't as big as I had hoped. I don't know if that is because we used tempera paint or because we used yellow??

Next we took clear glasses full of water and added different measurements of Kool-Aid to them, ranging from 1/4 tsp to 1 tbsp. We observed the different colors and taste, of course picky David wouldn't taste them, but I did! This experiment is called Kool-Aid Chemistry.


One big thing we focused on the last few days was the Assumption of Mary. Me and the kids made crafts to celebrate last week and we ended our time with an Assumption Tea at Lauren's yesterday. Very special!!

Most of our time though has been spent playing games!
