Funny how much happens in just one week! Some good, some bad; some funny, some sad (Yes, I'm going to start writing Hallmark Cards.).
Anyway,
my point!
Here's the stuff I was lucky enough to photograph:
 |
"Friday Night"
by Cam |
 |
"First Day at Activity Days Youth Group"
ZuZu |
 |
"The US Dept. of Agriculture's Food Pyramid: At Home Edition" |
 |
Cam and Papaya
(*We had a contest during our health studies--to see which team could fill their pyramid with the right foods for each category. They had to use foods from our cupboards. Minus the cereal one, because Fievel ate that.)
|
 |
LuLu and ZuZu |
 |
Jr and Jay |
 |
And . . . Dave!
(This cracks me up because the kids had Dave do his own test once he got home from work.
And yes, that's a lot in the "FAT/OIL" category.) |
 |
Week 3: Man (Preservatives) vs. Nature
Cosmic Brownie vs. the California Cutie/Clementine |
 |
My new favorite quinoa recipe
*quinoa (rinsed a lot before cooking), cilanto/lime dressing, black beans, peppers, garlic, jalepeno, and corn.) |
 |
ZuZu, LuLu, June, and C-Bear made a cake for our neighbor's bday
(June, that's The Best Smile Ever: "CHEESE.") |
 |
And here she is!
(I'm embarrassed that this looks so "Mormon Ad-ish," but I'm seriously so thankful for this neighbor. She is so KIND to our girls. Zu and Lu visit her about 20 times a month . . . for chips and salsa, cookies, a walk around the park. She's had such an impact on the girls. They heart her so much. So, being able to make a cake for her was a major HIGH for Zu and Lu. Then, to have C-Bead and June come, too. Major HIGH!) |
 |
Jr. (I think)
I have no idea when or how this happened.
Note: Never leave your camera unattended. |
 |
Zu and Lu as Mummy's
And who says the media doesn't impact us? They did this THE MORNING after watching The Mummy.
(And no, it's not an age-appropriate movie. But, I'm not sure life is age-appropriate either. So there. That's my justification.) |
 |
Science Experiment: Chemical Reactions--Acid and Base
(We made a Lemon Soda/Fizzy and then sweetened it with the same amount of sugar that's in a can of soda.
Holy crabapple, it was horrible.
There's no way you could dissolve that much sugar in that much liquid. It was like 3 inches of sand at the bottom of the glass.
I was so disgusted I had to rinse away the taste with a rootbeer. LOL!) |
 |
The kids are paired into lab teams, so 3 different teams for the experiments.
Jay is/was reading the instructions before they began.
Notice, no lab coats or safety goggles. Blasted budget cuts. |
