Perks

Today after the basketball game we scooted over to the NIKE employee store. The kids were busting out of their shoes. It is so nice to have an Uncle who works for NIKE so we can get some cool stuff for a great discount. Thanks Uncle Jim!

Family Movie Night

Tonight we celebrated the end of the week with a movie night. We had pizza, popcorn and watched E.T. The kids had never seen it and it had been years since Wayne and I had watched the movie. The girls really enjoyed it....I think it was a little scary for Max. Forgot how amazing the music is and how old I felt when I realized it came out in 1981! Fun Friday Night

Crazy Portraits

Morgan is taking an after school art class and came home with her first creation. This was written on the back of her picture. " Keeping in mind that faces are symmetrial, I designed a face. I then made and cut out facial features in two different colors. I glued the facial features so that one side of the face is in one color and the other side is in the second color."

Mad Scientist

The Science Fair is right around the corner, so tonight Morgan decided on hers and did her experiment. The question was " Does the color of food and drink affect whether or not people like it." She used milk and ice cream and her lab rats were Wayne, Emily and Max. She dyed the milk green, red and left one white. She did the same with the vanilla ice cream. Max LOVED the red drink and Wayne was totally disqusted by the green. They thought the red ice cream was strawberry and Emily thought the green was mint. All the milk was the same and all the ice cream was vanilla.....just a little food coloring. Morgan discovered that color does matter when your eating.

SuperBowl---Wayne style

We are having a low key Superbowl but Wayne has been preparing his "treats". Chips and Dip, buffalo wings and brautwurst. The kids love it when Dad is in charge of dinner.

Until Next Time.......

Saturday we had 3 basketball games to go to. All 4 girls did really well and Wayne and Jim are amazing coaches. So special to have Penny, Grandma Sue and Grandma Great here....we had the largest cheering section!
Today we had one final picture before they headed to the airport. Great weekend....lots of laughing, playing games, a nice dinner out last night and most important just time together. More pictures of the weekend on Jill's blog

Late NIght Shopping

After dinner tonight we all met up at Target for one more shopping outing. The kids had a ball with Grandma Sue & Penny.......lots of giggling.
