Earlier this year was Science Night at the school. Cassie did an optional project for the science fair. She did an experiment to see what would melt faster – an ice cube, an ice cube with sugar on it or an ice cube with salt on it. She was quite proud of herself! The kids also got to do some activities. The favorite was the static one. They put their hands on a ball, the volunteers turn it on and voila. Crazy hair! Check it out!
Here’s Cassie with her project. And yes, that dress is totally retro. In fact, I bought that dress for my sister when she was Cassie’s age (my sister is now 23).

And the crazy hair photos:

Cassie has spelling homework 4 times per week. We get bored with the same old assignments so I gave her a special one, to write her spelling words in her very best handwriting. She came up with this… I’m pretty impressed and very proud so I had to share

Jamie and Cassie are starting to be obsessed with language idioms. I blame a book we got in for review called The One and Only Sam and Tom shared a few with them.
This morning, we were in the drop off line behind a daycare van and this was the conversation from the backseat:
Jamie: “Caution – Children”
Me: “Yup, it’s a daycare bus”
Jamie: “Yeah, cuz kids can be kinda dangerous, ya know!”
Cassie: “You never know what kids will do, look out, mom!”
*snicker*
Yeah, I’m easily amused.

I just got a phone call:
Me: “Hello?”
Caller: “It’s me, Jamie. I don’t have my binder.”
Me: “Okay, what’s in your bookbag then?”
Jamie: “Oh, it’s fully of Cassie’s dirty clothes.”
Me: *blink* “Um, okay, let me finish my shower and I’ll bring your binder if I can find it”
Jamie: “Okay, thanks Mommy, you’re the best!”
I want to ask why the heck he has Cassie’s dirty clothes in his backpack. They didn’t go on a sleepover together or anything. But I’m afraid of whatever strange answer those two would come up with. In the meantime, I cannot find his binder and my hair is soaking wet (worked out today with Chris over at Libra Fitness so I was nasty – shower much needed TYVM). Sigh. When is this whole Mommy thing over?
