Day #104/175 Days

February 25, 2012

Today was my nephew's 10th birthday and it was held at a local children's museum. All the boys went and had a fabulous time exploring the museum and then stopping for some cupcakes mid-way through! All photos were taken with my phone camera.

There are some reptile cages in the entry that the boys like to check out.

This is a favorite of the kids - a "working" cargo ship.

The two-story treehouse.

The birthday boy pretending to blow out candles...because we forgot to bring some! Oops!

Happy taking a reading break in the fossil room.

All 3 boys on "Wilbur" from Charlotte's Web.

This was even Lego-Man's idea!

At our 4H meeting today the kids discussed Food Safety. Here the instructor, Gail, is showing them what happens when you cut one food (apples) on a cutting board and then do something else without cleaning it (chicken) and how the germs can get transferred. She shared many other food safety tips as well.

They also had a hands-on workshop of making their own chocolate candy. Needless to say, they had a fantastic time!

• Tanglewood Class - the kids went snowshoeing and learned about winter habitats. They had, of course, a blast.

Heading across the field. 

Love the snowshoes going every which way.

Heading down the path.

We have such great teachers!

The kids were given film canisters filled with warm Jell-O.

They had to build a habitat to keep it from freezing.

Pilot's home.

All covered up. It worked. It was still warm when he took it out later.

Pilot
Pilot is struggling with his attitude lately. Hello, puberty! Today was a rather particularly hard day for him. And he made it slightly worse when he wrote "I don't care" on his daily checklist for schoolwork. However, this helped him learn about character and we had a nice discussion (again) about attitude. As a result, you'll see a similar list of work for tomorrow. Since he chose not to complete a lot of today's work or do it very poorly, a lot of it was redone plus some added work - all about attitude adjustments.

I'm not going to type out all he was suppose to do today since he did very little of it and will be redoing it tomorrow.
