Science Share Project

c
Forrest chose to do a science share project about crystals. He grew crystals from a kit and found out information about what crystals are and how they grow. He also made rock candy from sugar crystals. These were a big hit with his class!

Spring Pictures

This one's not very spring-like, and it was almost dusk, so the picture didn't come out very well. Forrest made a trio of snowmen for our front yard.

Forrest entered a board on crystals in the science share this year. This picture shows him mixing sugar syrup for rock candy (which didn't turn out because Tabor kept wiggling the sticks that the crystals were supposed to grow on; he made other crystals from a science kit).

The very flat squished bunny cake. The icing was a mixture of marshmallow fluff and whipping cream - tasty, but runny.


Alyssa has been painting a mural on Angi's wall because she thought the light blue color was boring. One of her favorite books, Shel Silverstein's The Missing Piece and the Big O, inspired the design.


Real adventures in backyard maintenance - using a chainsaw!

Alyssa dressed for Mismatch Day during Spirit Week. It took quite a bit of effort to get so badly coordinated!


Bionicle battles, recorded by Forrest.


And, of course, the obligatory cute kitteh picture.

House Videos

Forrest took some tour-of-the-house videos.

House Pictures

Forrest took some pictures and video of the house. Some are a bit blurry, but at least they're up, right? I think he doesn't wait for the autofocus to do its stuff before he clicks. There is some mess because he took it upon himself to take pix on an ordinary Thursday night; sorry, we didn't clean for these.
