Teacher Appreciation Cards

This week is Teacher Appreciation Week at school and the room parents have special treats for the teachers each day.  Tomorrow Bailey has to take a card to her teacher and paraeducators and on Thursday Gregory will distribute his cards.  To make life easier they both made their cards today!

This morning they drew pictures with black glue and this afternoon they painted them with watercolor paint.

Here are Bailey's lovely cards!  She made a chick, bird, cherries and a tulip

Gregory made a jeep, present and flower.  Didn't they turn out cute?

Happy Boy's Day, Gregory!

Happy Boy's Day, Gregory!

Backyard Picnic

Our first peony bloomed!

So we decided to have  a picnic in our backyard

Here's our yummy dinner (minus the corn still sitting on the bbq)

It was a perfect day

Our Fun Day

Friday night while the kids slept, we drove down south so we could spend a very fun day at Bachan and Grandpa's house!  In the morning we make a quick trip to Little Tokyo to pick up a few things and another stop at this shaved ice shop in Monterey Park called Fluff Ice.  YUMOLA (although I won't ever eat another boba ball ~ blech)  It's a shaved ice with the flavor frozen into the ice before shaving.  Very tasty and many flavors are dairy free!  After our treat we drove back to Bachan and Grandpa's house so we could have lunch together. Grandpa and Bailey had hamburgers and Ryan had tacos, but the rest of us had TAQUITOS from J&S.  (Wherever you live ~ it is worth the drive!  SO TASTY and it's like $1.35 for two! and that includes guacamole!)   The kids had a great afternoon playing with Ryan and Uncle Denis.  Around 4 the rest of the family came over.  Kids had more fun, we had the most delicious dinner, more fun, crafts and then we drove home.  Day was chock full of fun!  We can't wait to plan our next trip!

Hmmmmm....What would happen if we put a bar of Ivory soap in the microwave?  (Apparently it does make a difference what brand you use)

Predictions?

Bailey said it'd get smaller

Gregory said it'd melt

So we put it in the microwave for TWO minutes

WOW!

If it wasn't growing all over the microwave walls I could've left it in longer cuz check out the bar of soap still left in the lower right corner!

Pretty neat!  After, hop in the tub and have fun with soap flakes!  (I may regret that decision when I try to clean the tub out though)
