Random Happenings

For home school we got out one of the Magic School Bus science kits Porter got for Christmas. It was all about dinosaurs and it was the same time I was teaching about dinosaurs for preschool. Perfect! 

Porter got to make his own fossils.

He had so much fun!

Did you know there are different kinds of fossils? I didn't! I love when I am learning right along with my kids!

There's true form fossils, mold fossils, cast fossils & trace fossils.

After he finished, he got to teach the preschoolers all about fossils! What a good educational experience for him!

I can't wait to open up the next science kit!

Look who now joins Porter on top of the fridge! I suppose it won't be long before Brody parties up there, too!

I love this picture Porter made while we were talking about ocean animals in preschool. He has become such the little artist! This is coming from a boy that would NEVER sit down to color, draw, write, scribble, anything, when he was younger. He just had no interest & I couldn't change his mind. Now he LOVES making art:)

The past few weeks have been rain free, so we have been going outside as much as possible. It's been cold, but I'll take cold any day over the rain! I think my boys would, too, because they can still go outside & play in the cold.

We got out their bubbles they got in their stockings & had fun!

On Saturday we went to our first Oregon State wrestling match of the year!

The Stimpson's came with us & I'm so glad they decided to become Beaver fans instead of Duck fans:)

Go Beavs! Btw- they won! By a lot! We are going to several more matches throughout the season & we love it!

We had a game night for FHE on Monday. That was so much fun! Hudson dominated in Chutes & Ladders, and Porter loves playing Apples to Apples, even though he really doesn't understand it:) Brandon also taught him how to play war & he wins every time! We made chocolate chip cookies in a mug for our treat & I think that has become our favorite FHE treat (besides Limeberry, of course!) This was the second week in a row that we made 'em. Yum!
