Angry bird puzzle

Today we put together an angry bird puzzle. It's a 3D puzzle.

Angry Bird Cupcake video

Archimedes found an Angry Bird cupcake making tutorial by Nerdy Nummies.

Opposites and color pigments with Donna

We mixed colors together to make new colors.
Then we did a paper towel wicking experiment to separate the color pigments from each other.

We talked about opposites and made an opposite book. I drew a tall tree and a short tree.

Dentist appointment in Iowa city

All four boys went to the dentist yesterday. Archimedes was scared and crying at first sitting in the big dentist chair but he was brave and did such a wonderful job. He has one cavity that he will go back sometime this month to have filled.

We stopped at a rest stop outside of Iowa city to have snacks.

When we got home he climbed onto Jupiter's bunk and climbed back down all on his own. Such a growing boy!

Play dough cookies and push-ups

Archimedes made a play dough cookie that had a letter C on it. He was also showing off how hard he works at his push-ups while the whole family was doing yoga and playing around the living room.

Rules for future tree house

Archimedes drew a picture showing what was allowed in his treehouse that Jaymon will someday build for him.

Folder for art

Yesterday at Walgreens Archimedes saw an Angry Birds space folder with pigs all over it and immediately said he wanted it. I told him he could use it to hold his art. He was excited to get it home and fill it with art!

Summer reading program

I read 15 hours to complete the summer reading program with Milo and Medes. They got coupons, a soft cover book, and a cool blue t-shirt.

State Fairgrounds with the family

We walked around the state fairgrounds today and looked at pigs and horses.

We also walked around the Masters Garden.

Science Center

We took a short trip to the science Center today. Everyone have fun.

Strange plant collection

The last time we were at the Science Ctr., Archimedes saw a strange plant collection biodome and thought it was cool.

Archimedes and I set it up and planted the seeds today.

More drawing and coloring

I checked out a book at the library about drawing nickelodeon cartoon characters. The boys really like the Rugrats. I sat and drew Chucky and Tommy with Archimedes and Milo.

Family outing to Saylorville lake

Archimedes was brave and hiked up and down the rock Hill despite being afraid.
He found a Fish skeleton. He liked looking at shells that we found.

Drawing mom driving vehicles

Archimedes drew pictures if momma driving a car, a broken car, and a helicopter car. I think he might be inspired by the fun cars on Richard Scarrys Busy Town. The Busy Town Mysteries is Medes' favorite show for now.

Building angry bird towers

I built a tower for green pigs.
There is a banana for a pig eat.
There are four pigs on my tower.
