The Magic School Bus Birthday Party
Today we celebrated the boys' birthdays, with a Magic School Bus Party.
Mommy dressed as Miss Frizzle and the boys wore their bus shirts.
Grandpa and Grandma bought the boys a year membership to the Portland Children's Museum. So that is where we had the party.
The museum was the perfect spot for our messy, science-filled party!
There were lots of books,
food
and treats.
At the start of the party, the kids played with Magnatiles
and colored.
We had family come to town for the party.
Sweet Cousins
Once the party started, the kids participated in several science projects.
We blew up balloons, using soda and candy.
Next we had an egg experiment.
The kids walked on egg shells, without breaking them.
This surprised them.
The third experiment was making Elephant Toothpaste.
WOW!
The last experiment was making ice cream.
The kids were excited about this part!
The kids put cream, vanilla extract and sugar in a baggie. Then that baggie was placed inside a large bag with ice and salt.
Even the babies were in on the fun!
Liz the Lizard was a hit at the party!
Ready, Set...
Shake!
And More Shaking!
This experiment produced yummy ice cream.
What goes great with ice cream at 10am? CUPCAKES!
Make a Wish
After the experiments, the kids had the rest of the day to play in the museum. Beckett and Olsons had fun in the stage area.
Pierce wanted to paint.
Millie the Artist
Sterling was quite the party animal. He took a little nap, during all the excitement.
There was a real artist in the Artist Studio.
Future Artists????
Beckett and Grandpa made a Scribble Robot.
Before we left, the boys did a little face painting.
Lookin' Good
Whew! What a party! Afterwards we came home and read some "Magic School Bus" books
and opened presents.

Letter M
This past week we worked on the letter M. Our verse of the week was...
The boys practiced writing the letter M
and the number 13.
Our devotion of the week was M is for Messy.
The boys practiced cutting.
Pierce received left handed scissors in his stocking at Christmas. He was super excited to try them out.
M is for Morning Devotion
More practice in the workbooks...
Beckett loves this part!
M is for Money
For every coin and dollar the boys correctly named, they were able to put them in their piggy banks. This was quite the motivation!
Nana got us this awesome cash register for Christmas. Sterling was able to get in on the learning too!
M is for Meals
We made up some freezer meals to take down to GG this week.
The boys made rainbow letters.
Ta-Da!
M is for Medford
Momma and the boys took a road trip down to see GG, after her surgery.
Sterling gave her lots of snuggles.
The boys enjoyed some scooter riding.
Little Piercey
M is for More Time with Grandpa
M is for Model Magic
Beckett created a shark
and Pierce played.
M is for Auntie Misty
The boys were super excited that Aunt Misty had flown out! And pretty excited about the birthday gifts.
M is for Monster Trucks
The gifts were remote control monster trucks. Isn't this the way most gifts go? The adults spend the whole time trying to figure them out.
M is for Mom (My Mom!)
What a fun week of learning and traveling! It is good to be back working on preschool.
