Pee into this
Potty training sucks. So we just told Jonas we're out of diapers. First he found this tiny pink doll potty, and used it. If you're wondering, his bladder holds more than the toy pot.
Later, I found him sleeping in the sun. Nice boots, kid.

Zion in March
We needed a break from the snow, so we camped in Zion for a weekend. We did some hikes we've never done with the kids, found some petroglyphs, lounged, ate, had fun, and got warm (well warmer).

Master Scientists
Neither of the kids won this year, but they got a lot of praise from everyone and the judges. And they had fun.
Beck's Project: Lowercase vs. UPPERCASE
Beck tested whether people could read UPPERCASE or lowercase faster. It was a close call, but lowercase won and supported his hypothesis.
Here he is pretending to show the pretend judge all about his project.
Macie's Rotten Leftovers Project
Twenty one days of tracking mold was not nearly as fun as decorating her fridge/ science board.
I refuse to post stuff on the real fridge so she went all out posting stuff on this one, she even added a real gold slip. When I told her that was enough junk on the fridge she informed me, "This is nothing Mom. You should see some of the fridges I've seen! Wow!"
Leftovers, by the way, do not rot faster in sour cream containers. But thanks for the project idea Grandma Marie.
And here we have Jonas thoroughly enjoying being stuck at the school for hours.

"That's my name."
Jonas drew on himself with a pen. When I asked him why he did it, he pointed to his stomach and said, "That's my name." Nice handwriting!

One day in January
We fed ducks today. The kids think it's spring because you can see the grass in Salt Lake. When we pulled up at the pond Macie asked, "Mom, did you know ducks are birds?"
Jonas threw whole rolls at the geese and then laughed his butt off. I can't post pictures right now, so imagine Jonas looking a goose in the eye, squealing at it, and then chasing it down with a dinner roll. The geese weren't mean today, they were too scared.
Beck chose to feed only one bird--the one legged seagull. At first he did it out of sympathy for the hop along, but he quickly realized, "Seagulls are awesome, they can catch it in the air."
In other news Daryl informed me he brought home the bacon twice. That is true. On Monday and Thursday he came home with a package of bacon. Weird. I made bleu cheese bacon pasta, which is not weird at all. Yum. Thanks for the bacon.

Y go to Provo?
Some have asked why we went to Provo.
To drive down the canyon and check out the leaves.
To hike the Y.
To Bowl for just pennies.
To gorge at the creamery.
It was fun.
