Valentine Boxes...cute, huh?


We have our Valentine/craft -service project- party tomorrow with our homeschool group and here are the boxes the kiddos did. DS actually did this one a few years back and it was still in the garage!!!! He isn't real crazy about doing Valentines this year, but the rest are so, I said just go with it. Caught between still having fun and being mature...no place I want to return to (or did I ever leave??). I am looking forward to delivering our craft next week to a care facility. We did this at Christmas and I missed the delivery and caroling as I was the designated pizza picker upper:)

Weird Science :)

Here is our first science experiment with our new Apologia Science. Looks like it is going to be a more interesting study for us. We have been using the Bob Jones, but it was a little dry, a lot of reading and a test......... I think this is amped up just enough for them to enjoy science and mom not to dread doing it.
The neccessary supplies

Adding the first ingredient......

Hey thats cool!!


DS adding the ummmm Maple syrup.. had to move along before he drank!!!! Experiment complete, good job guys!!!!!!!!
Now on to the notebook to record the findings from our experiment with Density in Nature.
