A family day around the house

We decided to spend Memorial Day at home getting a few things done. Oh, and when I say we, I really mean Drew. He did all the hard "manual" labor, as for me, I just had fun keeping the kids busy and taking pictures. We had a great day doing a little bit of everything!!

State Scientist Day

Today I went on a field trip with Brooke's 4th grade class to the State Capitol for the State Scientist Fair. It was a lot of fun. The kids got to do a lot of hands on experiments and a lot of waiting in lines!! There were hundreds of people and many different schools. So at first when I got my list of only 3 kids to watch I thought, this will be easy, well I was glad to only have 3 to track in the crowds.

Way to Go Brooke!!

Brooke has worked really hard this year in school and she was super proud to come home with an A on her last math chapter test!! We are both looking forward to summer!

Indiana Jones

Malcolm has been saving money from working around the house and doing "extra" chores on the weekend.... and tonight he finally had enough money to buy the Indiana Jones Whip. He was so excited! I loved the big smile on his face. He has been wearing that vest and hat for weeks now and asks that we call him "Indiana" So far, Mya is the only one who does :) Although the whip has only been in our house a couple of hours, I have to ask mysef, "Why do I buy another toy that makes noise!"
