Einstein Wrestles Clown at Dance Party, huh??

That is the headline as it reads featuring the activities at my house last night. Is it that is was a crazy Monday, a full moon, or just winter stir-craziness? We started with some cool science experiments. Lately, the kids have been running their own experiments by crushing all kinds of things (food, crayons, etc) into water. It is a mess. So, I decided to introduce them to real science. Last night, we were able to make an egg float within a glass of water. Noah and Sarh loved it...Hannah wasn't too entertained.



Afterward, Noah decided it was time to practice his wrestling moves. The kids have become obsessed with wrestling...watching WWE and the like. It is utterly ridiculous to me, but them seem to enjoy it. Noah pretends to wrestle with this huge clown that we got when he was only 2. I guess it is better than wrestling his sisters!!



Hannah and Sarah weren't too into wrestling a clown so we put on the Soundtrack to Spectacular (cute movie if you have 6 year olds who think they are teenagers). Dance party it was!! Check out Sarah's air guitar....



and Hannah bustin' a move...



and no dance party is complete unless we change into dance leotards and twirl!!!



It is now 24 hours later and I am STILL EXHAUSTED!!!

He Shoots, He SCORES!!!

It was his next to last ice hockey game of the season and he went for it.....on a breakaway, he skates to the left, he skates to the right, he has the net in his sites....he shoots, he SCORES!!! Noah scored his very first goal of the season!!! Where was I? On birthday party patrol.... at least his coach gave him a puck so I could get a picture of that. Noah was so very excited. According to him, it may have been one of his best days ever!! So proud of you buddy!!!

More Basic Grey Goodness

Another round of Studio Calico sketch inspiration....each Sunday they post a sketch to their blog and for the past couple of weeks, I have been fortunate enough to find time Sunday evening to put together a layout. Here is the sketch from last week and my version using BG's Origins papers. As you can see, I am totally in love with this butterfly punch from Martha Stewart!

Benefits of Winter

I may complain about the cold and snow but honestly, it makes for great pictures! The kids are always smiling out there as they frolic in the white stuff...and those pictures make for fun scrap pages. This is made from bits left of a Basic Grey Bittersweet Kit I bought over at scrapbook.com and a stamp I had gotten from Studio Calico.
