Celery Experiment

We were learning about plants in science and we decided to create blue celery. It worked!

Elsa riding Daddy

The following is Elsa dictating the caption for this picture. "I like Daddy taking me on a ride when I say giddy up giddy up. He let me be on top of him to decorate him. I love decorating Daddy. I love taking rides on Daddy because he loves me so much."

Family Home Evening and Prayers

This evening we talked about sharing in our Family Home Evening. Joseph came up with a game where he wrapped jewels in layers of foil. We listened to a Valentine's Day song which when it stopped, the person holding the gift got to open that layer and keep the gift. What a sweet boy to have such a great idea!

Elsa insisted on saying both the opening and closing prayers as usual. The highlight of these prayers is that she promised Heavenly Father two cakes because she loves Him.

Monday Night Trip to Egypt

Elsa's World

I love this age. It is so fun that she can talk so I can have glimpses of her world. Here are just a few.

Elsa grabbed her brother's drink and ran over to me explaining that she wanted some. She proceeded to tell me I am the guy in charge. I guess I am in charge of fair drink distribution in her mind.

I made grilled cheese sandwiches for lunch to which she exclaimed, "Mmmmmm, Mommy, I love toasty cheese sandwich".

Later, she brought me an orange saying, "I can't peel it but your claws are big enough to peel it". I do need to clip my nails.

Last night, as she came out of the bath she explained, "I can't brush my teeth, I'm too naked."

Electronic Music

Cross Talk electronic music concert was interesting. I'm glad I experienced it. Extremely dissonant. Did I like it? I don't know, what is "like" anyway? Are we trained to like certain things?

What I liked best about the concert as that it made me think. The piece that spoke to me most was the only one composed by a female. Hmmm. I love that it was a great conversation starter for our date.

The Parthenon

In school this morning we have been learning about Athens. We watched a film on the building of the Parthenon and the kids built their own versions of the Parthenon out of Play Dough.
