The fun of Learning

Who knew that filling a tub with water and putting a bunch of different things in it can be so fun? I will never look at washing and cleaning the same :) everything is more fun if it is a game, right?

We got together with a couple of moms in our ward and made a small play group. Now once a week we get together and have fun learning something.

This was one of my turns:

We had lots of fun throwing different fruit and veggies in water to see if they float or sink.


For those who wonder here is a small list:

Grapes sink
pares sink
Kiwi sinks
tomatoes float
apples float
peaches float
mushrooms float

The most amazing to everyone was that pineapple, the heaviest of all the tested objects did not sink!Later we had Alex visit us and talked about how what he eats is different from what we people eat.The children loved him. I think it is all that fuzzy fur :)

Summer is over, but fun - far from it

Today was an amazingly warm and bright day. We went out to attempt getting our lawn looking neat. It didn't happen until daddy came home and got out a leaf blower, but we sure had a lot of fun!

Katya and Mike had a blast playing with the leaves

The rain of leavesand the storm of leaves

and even more leaves...


I know this warm weather isn't going to last, but it is sure nice to enjoy it while it is here!

Halloween

Here is what I get for not having camera on a trick or treat venture... No children's pictures. I wanted to take some when we got home but they were so tired that they went straight to bed, and even left their candy for the next day.

Katya was a parrot, Sasha wanted to be a Jedi, and Mike was a very cute Scoobydoo.

And here are Jeff and I :)


So, what do you think? Hippy and a gypsy?
