We tried to find something fun to do and I came up with the idea of using gummy bears after finding a few interesting things online. Google gummy bear science project and you will find some fun stuff! I asked J what we could do with gummy bears. Since he had been doing some experiments in school that involved dissolving things in liquid, he decided we would dissolve the gummy bears. His hypothesis was that they would all dissolve the same way, regardless of color/flavor and that the water would take on the color of the gummy bear. It was sun to see they didn't dissolve, they grew! He didn't get the whole osmosis thing, not that we really went into it all that much. He made it through the process and did a pretty good job.<br />

Ryan and I did a shape hunt and he was able to take pictures of different shapes he found in the house. He, like many children, loves to use a camera! Sometimes he would use my iphone, but we also got him a durable vetch kid's camera that has been great. <br />

Bubbles are always so much fun for kids to play with. You can buy them or make your own. My boys enjoy chasing the bubbles too, so this battery operated bubble blower made it easier to produce bubbles faster.<br />

Riding bikes is also a good way to get the boys out and about. I got tired running beside Ryan when we would go around the block. Amazing how things aren't as level as they seem when you aren't chasing a child who forgets to use brakes as he approaches a parked car.<br />

Ryan wanted to paint or stain the fence, which obviously isn't the best thing to have a child his age do. Using water to do the job was just as much fun for him though.<br />

Water is a hit! Ryan is already looking forward to using Grandma's hose next summer when we visit. It wasn't even a super hot day that day. It doesn't seem to have slowed him down though.<br />

Justin absolutely loved making flying contraptions out of water cooler paper cones and watching them fly when placed over a fan. He got some pretty good ones. Would be so easy to do with a box fan on its side and possibly something (even posterboard) wrapped around it so kids don't get their fingers too close and be tempted to stick fingers in by the blades.<br />

That was a lot of fun and we spent time in museums and around the house with them. From Oregon we flew to DC to visit Dad.<br />

As I was looking for this month's pictures, I realized that I never pulled out my camera. Luckily, I at least got some shots on my phone. It doesn't help that we had an extended stomach bug that had us out of commission for awhile. We did valentines, but the boys wanted store bought Kung Fu Panda and Angry Bird ones so no cute little Valentine Day crafts.<br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">I have started having Ryan and Justin each make their own calendar each month. This is Ryan's. He traces the numbers and draws a picture to go with the month. It gives good practice writing numerals, gaining a sense for days, weeks, and months, and gives us the chance to talk about upcoming events. I make a monthly calendar each month as well and they can refer to it to know what happens on what day.</td></tr>

Before he left we decided to have a mini vacation. We went to the Mobius Science Center in Spokane, ate at Carl's Jr (with a play area of course), and stayed at the Holiday Inn. We enjoyed swimming in the pool and then we went to bed. In the morning, Rob took the shuttle to the airport and I returned to Coeur d'Alene with the boys. It was nice to have some time together before being separated again.<br />

December is a busy month with Christmas and the boys' birthdays. This December is the first in three years with snow. Christmas just feels more like Christmas when it is winter. We took advantage of the winter weather by sledding, building snowmen, having snowball fights, and seeing the Christmas lights.</div>

November was a busy month for travel! Rob arrived from Namibia right before Halloween and just got time to settle in before Kathryn and her parents left for Brooklyn. Meredith married her partner, Jordan, and Rob was left behind in Idaho with the kids for a few days. When Kathryn returned to Idaho, she did laundry and packed for the family trip to Seattle to see Grandma and Grandpa Weber. From there we drove on to Portland to see Cho, Amy, and cousins. </div>

Over a month after the trip they still have no idea where Rob and I were. They assume we just sat around bored I guess.</td></tr>

Might pick up with frogs and other living things after that. I want to do spring type things even though it is Fall now. Sorry, April just doesn't mean Fall to me, it means butterflies, flowers, and getting ready for summer. We will see. I am sure the boys will lead the way and totally change my plans. We also want to do a little bit to learn about Armenia since that will be our new home next year.</div>Noodleshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03943843236135965791noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9169267214818562040.post-10715937509088366142012-03-01T10:56:00.000-08:002012-03-01T10:56:34.190-08:00February 2012 Stuff<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

Guess a lot depends upon the company.</td></tr>
