Science Project

5th grade is whooping my butt.  Daniel has a science project that has been on going for several weeks now.  We finally got to DO the experiment this week.  He was measuring the temperature variance of different colors




The GREAT Barrier Island

The first week in February was an exciting week for Daniel and Sandy.  The 5th grade took a trip to Barrier Island.  This was a two night trip that Sandy was lucky enough to get to chaperon.  They had to be at the school at 6:30am and didn't get home until dinner on the third night.  It's not quite camping but it is a very "rustic" experience.  Sandy was responsible for 10 boys during the trip.  He did a great job taking photos for the blogspot. 
 Daniel at 6am loaded down with all of his gear.

Where poor Sandy spent two night...........His feet hung off edge.

Alex, Jason, and Luke


For Christmas Sandy and I gave the boys tickets to see Jason Aldean and Luke Bryan (no T.  That's for you Alex.)  We found out Alex has always wanted to see Jason Aldean in concert.  Once we learned that, Sandy gave up his ticket so Alex could go and that's what Alex got for Christmas from us.  It felt like a Christmas gift to us too.  We had Alex all to ourselves for the weekend.  The weather was CRAPPY and put an end to all of the plans we made but we all hung out, saw a great show, watched some movies and really bad tv.  It was AWESOME!
 Awful photo but the only one of me and Alex.
 Le and Daniel Before the show.

 At 10:30pm Daniel was DONE.  He decided he would go to sleep.....Yeah. Right.

I took this picture.  Who does this guy look like to you? Come on....You know who it is...Can't guess?  Butthead...From Bevis and Butthead.
 My boys had plans on Saturday night.  Sandy and I had Alex all to ourselves.
Does this picture need words?
