January 2012

In no particular order...

Seth preparing for the pinewood derby.

Having a penguin race (have to keep "egg" - a potato on their feet and waddle across the room)

Using potatoes (that no one wanted to eat after being on feet), to make prints...and then the hands got involved too!

Kaitlyn and Natalie's penguin craft (idea from family fun)

We didn't get snow, so we made snow - our resident scientist experiments

(dollar tree - "instant snow" - it's pretty much the same stuff in diapers that absorbs...yeah, that. so it doesn't feel much like snow - more like solidified pieces of gel)

Checking out the turtle with duct tape on it's shell (many did - it worked like a bandaid on spots where other turtles had hurt their shells by climbing on top...to play leap frog I suppose) :)

We stuffed all the toys in the closet (in preparation for playroom reorganize)

Then one of the kids brought home a bug from school and we quarantined, cleaned, and were very careful to make sure we got rid of that particular bug forever! I became very 'nit-picky'

The quarantined children. and boundary lines to keep them apart from each other  - we love painter's tape!

The birthday invitation (made by the girls - this one by Kaitlyn)

The inside - (I removed the address and phone numbers for privacy)

And then on to February....
