Art and Literacy Reception at the Library ~

 We had our art and literacy reception at the library today and it was a great turn out!  The kids had their wonderful art hanging up all over the library, as well as some of their short stories and poems.

 They also made these adorable shrinky dinks that we got to take home that evening!

 Jordyn didnt like the way hers turned out, but i thought it was totally cute! :)

 And these funny little penguins were made by my preschoolers...thanks for the idea Pinterest!  :)

 These little snowmen on sleds were made by each kid representing the members in their family...this is our family!  Justin's in the front, im in the middle, and thats Jordyn riding on the back!

 We were also celebrating winning the John Irwin award...only around 80 schools in the state of Colorado win this award, so we are very proud to be one of them!  (and its our first time winning it...so we are quite excited!)   Way to go Red Feather kiddos....you guys ROCK!

Science Extravaganza ~

 We had our Science Extravaganza today at school and it was an absolute blast!  We studied bubbles, heat, chemical reactions, magnified objects, hovercrafts, cars and velocity, friction...and a bunch of other stuff!  There were stations set up all over the school and the kids loved it!

 Even my preschoolers were sucked in!  See....science can be fun!  :)

Perfecting Breakfast ~

I made these again this weekend...they are so tasty and fun to make!  I thought i would share the book as well...its filled with all kinds of varieties of ebelskivers that i cant wait to try.  Hope you had a wonderful weekend!

Gung Hay Fat Choy!

Way To Go Kiddo!

So proud of my little 3rd grader!  She took 2nd place in the spelling bee today at school (first place went to her friend Aspen, a 4th grader)!  She got bumped with the word ghoulish!  doh!  She was soooo excited about winning!  This morning on our way to school she was considering dropping out because she was nervous and didnt do well on the practice words...but she stuck with it and im so glad she did!  Way to go Jordyn...my smart little girl!  :)

Ya'll Put Your Shoes On ~

So i open my emails on Tuesday morning to find all kinds of people have checked out my video on you tube of the FAB Company reunion in 2011....so i click on the comments to see whats up and i have a bunch of folks telling me Jimmy Fallon sent me...etc.  What!?!  So i tell Justin and we start googling to find out what all the buzz its...and it turns out that the Tonight Show had a segment of Jimmy Fallons Do Not Play list last night....and guess who made the list?!?  :)  Not only did they show the album cover...but they played part of the song and then continued to sing a bit of it too!  Absolutely hilarious!!!  Click Here if you'd like to see the clip!   Congrats Grandpa Frank...looks like you made the big times!
