Piano
















 A barrier so I can sweep in peace.

 A boy, his blanket, and the piano.

Rainy days and sick days

 We've been spending lots of time together this week in the house. Todd, Claire and I have had colds all week and we didn't want to share them with anybody! We also had a bit of rain and cold weather.
 Recognize this costume from last year?
 Todd pulled the bench away from the piano and climbed up by himself. Such a cutie!






 We couldn't help but do another craft. Who knew toilet paper bats could look so cute?


 Watching a movie together. Sometimes instead of popcorn, we like to eat microwaved edamame beans.
 After making the bat craft, Claire just started improvising a craft on her own and kept herself busy for quite a while.
 What a Claire craft looks like.
 Now that Todd can walk, he loves this ball.








 Can you tell that Todd is using a Doctor's reflex hammer? I guess that works too.



 Impromptu tea party on the bed.



 Two tricks that I whipped out one day were a fort, and an educational globe that I got at a yard sale that I put new batteries in. Claire got a lot of exposure to the names of the continents and random facts about cultures that day. I thought my brother, Sterling, would be proud.
 Claire thought it was pretty cool eating grapes and crackers under the fort too.

Boomer, Sooner!


 We went to an Elder's Quorum tailgate party that reminded me of a family reunion. Lots of food and family time together.
 Exercising with mom in ballet clothes.

 On the move together.
 This is a fun paper project that was inspired from the book pictured below.

 Claire, Todd and I were invited to go to a family school night where we were challenged to use certain materials to keep an egg from breaking when dropped from a certain height. Some students from the OU Engineering department conducted it. It was a fun challenge and our egg didn't break!
Of course we had some goodies while we were at it :)
