Our First Science Project…

Erin is studying landforms in class and the project this week was to build a landform and bring it to class.  They were encouraged to make them themselves and they could include more than one landform. 

Erin is so independent she wouldn’t let me help much!

My I present a volcano, a river and some hills!

I think it’s stunning.

Easter in the Country 2016…

Another fun Easter in the Country is now in the books.  As usual there was too much candy and goodies for the kids to eat.  They all ate so much before lunch that they weren’t hungry when it was time to eat.

Pepaw loaded them up on the 4 wheeler and took them on a long ride to the mailbox while we hid the eggs.  I think there was 100 of them.  The only instructions we had was to make sure they stayed out of the garden!The weather was perfect.  It was bright and sunny and it was cold enough that the chocolate in the eggs didn’t melt.

Erin needed a little help in the egg hunting dept.  She would watch the boys and when they found one would run to where they were and look.  I know she gets the concept but was too impatient and nosey to really try to look for her own.

The prize for the hardest to see and get egg goes to Luke.  Uncle Tommy hid it up in a hole in the tractor bucket.  Luke spotted it and climbed up the tractor wheels on his own and was almost able to get it.  Reinforcements were called in and the egg went to Luke!

It’s almost impossible to get a good picture of all 3 of them.  Jake will cooperate but Luke and Erin are wildcards.  Luke will pout and be a turd and Erin will make silly faces and do weird poses until you yell at her to act right.  But, with that being said, I think I got a couple of good ones… or as good as they get with those 3!
