Busy Week

This week we had some fun activities going on with the boys. Here are some of the highlights.

 Nathan had 'Superhero Day' at preschool. They each got to wear a superhero shirt and then when they arrived at class one of the teachers (Mrs. Heidi) painted masks on all of them.

 Kyler's Dinosaur Project

Ky was so excited to do his first research paper. They brought home a book from the library about a dinosaur, had to learn all about it, fill out a 'facts page', write a 100 word report about it, and do a drawing to display. Ky did the Ankylosaurus . All reports, fact pages, and drawings were due Monday. Kyler gave is oral report on Wednesday, see his drawing on the podium. Finally, on Friday I had the opportunity to go help his class make clay dinosaur sculptures.

On Thursday Landon had a busy day. His class got to go see the symphony perform over at Dixie State. As soon as he got home we had hurry and do homework because Landon had Cub Scouts Pack Meeting that evening. They did a Nascub race. Each boy had a few weeks to construct a car out of a box. The leaders had the gym set up like a race track, complete with pit stops. The scouts each had a 2 person pit crew that helped them through the race. After the first lap, the pit crew had to 'change their tires' (aka take off their socks and shoes, turn the socks in-side-out, and then put the socks and shoes back on again). After the 2nd lap the pit crew had to 'clean the windshield' (aka spray Landon in the face with a squirt bottle and then wipe it off with a paper towel). After the 3rd lap the scouts needed to 'refuel' (aka drink an entire juice box). Then run two more laps to the finish line. Landon didn't win, but he had a lot of fun.

 Oh yeah, and then on Saturday Landon got to participate in Scout Day Camp. He had a blast but said the best part was that he was the only one to hit the target in archery.

Monster Cupcakes

Friday after dinner, we let the boys get a little creative and messy with some monster cupcakes

Amongst the business of life here, Jon was off on another business trip to Denver. Saturday morning, pretty early, we headed over to Jon's sister's house to help watch a few of her kids. Jon must have been pretty tired because he had no idea that I had even taken this picture until he saw it on the computer.
