2nd Grade Science Fair & Brigs' Donuts With Dad!

The last month of school is always a whirl wind of projects, tests and field trips!  Last week, we threw together a science experiment for the 2nd grade Science Fair!  We found an idea on Pinterest, and started the project after school on Wednesday, April 15.  When we came home from swimming lessons a few hours later and nothing had happened, we were a bit worried it was going to be a flop!  Boston had already written down all of his info. on his tag board and note cards, so he was so worried he was going to have to redo everything for a different experiment!  I added a little more water & food coloring to the jars, and when Boston woke up Thursday morning, it was exactly like we needed it to be!

Getting it all set up!

 Carefully adding a few drops of food coloring to the right jars!

 Doing the 'boring part' as Boston would say.  He just isn't real artistic or enthusiastic when it comes to these types of projects.  He would have been perfectly content writing it all out in pencil, however, I bought brand new markers for the project, so told him I wanted to see it colorful!

 We got the paper towels in the jars and now we wait for the water to walk!

 Thursday morning before school!  The water had 'walked' up the paper towels and the two colors had mixed, to make a new color in the empty jars!

My handsome lunch dates on Friday!  They love it when we get pizza at Target!

 Brigham wanted his hair spiked up for Donuts with Dad at school!

 2 at school and the little one asleep = a quiet afternoon of reading!

 Brigham was so excited that his daddy got to be at school today!  

At 2:00, I dropped Bronx off with the Elgersma's so I could head to SFC to attend Boston's Science Fair!  He wasn't super enthused about the Science Fair, but he was really looking forward to going to his friend Riley's (pictured next to Boston!) house after school for his birthday party/sleepover!

 All 4 sections of second graders were set up in the elementary cafeteria.  It was pretty crowded!

Boston & his friend Jackson.

 Bronx having a good time with Chloe!

After school we played outside a bit.  

The little boys play so good together when it's just the two of them!

 Bronx has started grabbing at his diaper when he pees or poops, but this was a first!  I heard him saying 'Ack mama!  Ack mama!'  I found him hovered over his diaper checking out his poop!  The other half of the poop was still stuck between his butt cheeks! 

Saturday, April 18:  Soccer in the rain!  Brigham went to Snyders for a few hours, so I just had Bronx at the game.  We took shelter under the umbrella!  Boston got to play goalie for the first time, so that was fun.  He didn't have any goals scored against him!  In the 2nd half of the game, he got 2 goals & even missed a few more attempts.  So much fun to watch!
