May 12

F is for FLOWERS

photosynthesis experiment

build two terrariums.
one goes in the sun, the other one hides in the dark.
after a few days we'll be able to see the affects of the sun on a growing plant.
Samantha chose tomatoes and Lydia chose carrots.
fitting.  those are their favorite veggies ;-)

photosynthesis explained to a little one:  the plant uses the sun to make food for itself.

more planting of flowers and herbs.



on to the park!
tire swings are a great way to test velocity - head up is slow, head down is fast!!!
just ask Lydia and Samantha.
rolling down hills are also a great way to test velocity.
just ask mommy....err....after her stomach settles back down anyway....it's been a while since I rolled down a hill

lunch, Pete's dragon, nap time

Lydia is sorting laundry for mama and working on some alphabet books to keep her occupied during nap time.

...and the thunder rolled in to wake everyone up early from nap.
nothing a little Madagascar couldn't handle.

into the kitchen to bake,
because that just seems the right thing to do in a rain storm.

Rocky Road Cake Mix Cookies

1 Devil's food cake mix
1 egg
1/4 c. oil
1/4 c. water
choco chips, nuts, marshmallows

mix it all up
roll 'em up
drop 'em
bake 'em at 350 for 15 min.

yum.

the thunder stopped and out we went, white skirt and all, celebrating just how yummy these flowers must think the rain is!

shower, dinner, books, bed.
and that's a wrap.
