Scientific Achievement

Today was our first Science Fair. It was a lot of fun. The kids have worked hard & learned a lot about weather over the last couple weeks. They have been out collecting weather data every day (that also involved a lot of sledding) & Dessa filled out a weather report each day. They built a wind vane and an anemometer. We read about weather and clouds. Max especially enjoyed cutting out felt clouds and raindrops & drawing his weather picture with chalk. They did a great job on the display & set it up beautifully. They both answered questions about the devices & how they work. They also had a good time seeing some of their friends & meeting other kids. They each (all 3) got a certificate for participating.
I am so proud of them!

Here's what happens when I say - "Smile at me!"
Also a challenge to take pictures while holding Horatio.


The funniest thing - tonight we have the first strong wind since building the anemometer. We may have to take it outside again tomorrow.


Not a bad way to spend my Fortieth birthday!
