Girls Day (Weekend)!!

This year Daddy was busy building our fence so we couldn't do a family fun activity for Girls Day, but we did squeeze in some fun with a "Mind Blowing" science experiment!  Bailey also got to choose a restaurant for dinner on Saturday and a special dinner for Sunday!  Girls Day ended with a fun treasure hunt Gregory and I set up.  All in all, I think she had a pretty good celebration!

Science experiment

Pretty much came with everything we needed to complete 11 experiments! (we did one)

Pasta Pomodoro Saturday night ~ Bailey's favorite!  AND Cold Stone for dessert.

Aunty Kristin's mochiko chicken (made by mommy) for Sunday dinner

Smile!

Look what I planted!  Actually made two of them to hang on our pergola

Sukiyaki meat for Girls Day

Grape mochi for dessert!  YUM!

Daddy FINISHED!  Well, almost.  One plank is missing ~ Doesn't it look lovely?  Next, I'm putting in a cutting garden! :)

HAPPY GIRLS DAY!

The Trojan Horse

First Saturday of the month, so the kids and Daddy go to the Home Depot kids workshop.  This month the project was a Trojan Horse bank from the soon to be released Peabody and Sherman.  

Oliver ~ The Basketball Guy

Today I took the kids to watch Oliver play in his last basketball game of the season!  He's quite the player!  Made 10 baskets and his team won its second game!!  Whoo Hoo!  

Kids with Emma

The game was at Cupertino High School AND look who is listed up there for "Athlete of the Year" (99)!!  Auntie Kellie!!  Whoo hoo!!

Uncle Bob was the recorder today

Happy (day after) Valentine's Day!

Haven't been very good at posting lately ~ been busy running around.  So happy we have a three day weekend!

(Turn your head)  Valentine's Day Dinner

2 years in a row!  Don't know what got into Daddy, but I found 2 bunches of tulips on the porch!!

Aren't they lovely?

The Derby Race Day

We've been derby central here.  My boys have been busy working on their car.  We had some setbacks, but we made the deadline and luckily nothing fell off during the race!

Yesterday morning a wheel fell off so Daddy had to come home early to make the repair before we turned it in.

Dry, dry, dry...

Bailey and Gregory's cars

Okay, let's turn this baby in!

Weight ~ okay

Does it fit on the track?  NO?!?!

Had to move the wheels apart and let's hope the thing won't fall apart tomorrow
