We’ve had a full week!
Most of the week Eric and J2 worked on his project fair entries. He did a volcano project for science and a birdhouse for art. Here are some pics of them working on it:

After the judging he got two ribbons – for his birdhouse he got 100 out of possible 100 points:
and for his volcano project, he got 95 out of 100:
(he’s wearing his googles again – loves those goggles!
Saturday we had a great day with Eric’s brother and his kids visiting – they are all many years older than our kids but love to talk and play with them! His oldest son, Jaron, is performing in “The Man of La Mancha” at the Woodland Opera House and it was opening night! But before that I got to spend some good time with my niece Annika and teach her a few of my favorite games! 🙂 It was a nice day! We were unable to go to the play but we hope to go before it ends!
Saturday night Grammy (my mom) and I went to watch J3 play basketball again. It’s loads of fun! Those kids are funny! But sadly the other team needed some parenting – not only did they push our boys around (very unYMCA!) but they also stole the ball from their own teammates and hog the ball! I hope their parents were a bit ashamed of their behaviour – it sure was embarrasing to watch!!
Today, Sunday, Eric went off to preach at St John’s again and I took the boys to our church. Unfortunately, J1 did not feel good so he, J3 and I came home after church and J2 stuck around for Sunday School – getting a ride home from Grammy! Yeah for Grammy!
So, here is poor, sick J1:
And, I guess Daddy has decided that J2 is old enough to learn how to mow the lawn too – I didn’t even think he could push the lawnmower! lol
That’s a good looking birdhouse and volcano! He should be very proud!
Our kids made volcanoes for school last year, but I had them make them from paper mache (sp?) It was messy, but they had fun! LOL!
Hope your son is feeling better!
Hugs!
