Sweeties Make Something Sweet

Aren't they adorable?   The guys made a strawberry cake for Valentine's Day. They were so proud!

Brian is 5!

 

Brian is such a joy and blessing to our family. He always adds laughter wherever he goes.  Happy 5th birthday, Brian!  We love you so much! 

   

                                                                                                                                                                                                    I made these capes as a take-home gift in place of goodie bags.  The kids painted the emblem on at the party.  (For more cheap batman party ideas, see our post on Learning Continually.)

SNOW!!!!

We got about 6 inches of snow and finally got to play and sled in the snow.

Lucas HATED falling down in the snow...he could NOT get back up!

Christmas Pancakes Anyone?

Each boy had a pancake in the shape of his initial and a Christmas tree pancake.  They loved it! Yummy!

If You Build It, They Will ...Eat It

 

 

Here is Joshua starting with the icing.  He was the project supervisor.

 

 

 

  Brian was in charge of the candy and where it should go.

  Lucas was not happy until it was time to EAT the gingerbread house. 

What can you make with spaghetti and marshmallows?

Joshua and Brian read a wonderful Usborne book entitled, 100 Science Experiments. They decided do one of the experiments that involved making stuctures out of spaghetti noodles and marshmallows. Joshua made several different stuctures and even tried to build a tower strong enough to hold a toy car. Brian was able to help build one tower, but it was a little challenging for him. Lucas was wanting to be right there in the middle of the action.

This is the structure with a piece of paper on it on which he was going to place the car. Will the building stand?

It could not withstand the weight of the car. So sad. We will try another day....
