Oklahoma!, Dominoes, and a Magnetic Touch

Magnets

Hal and Corey came to do the annual science presentation for Alayna’s class. This year the theme was magnets. They came home that night and demonstrated all the cool things they presented to Alayna’s class. Their presentations are always so fun, educational, and entertaining! I also learned that if you want to keep Kayla busy for a while, give her a “supermagnet” and a bowl of small magnetic balls- she will be busy for hours!

Oklahoma!

The musical finally came! We all went to see it Thursday night and Marisa performed in the pit with the orchestra. It was a wonderful performance and brought back so many memories of when I was in the same musical the same age as Marisa! It was definitely a dejavu moment!

Anniversary Date

Bob and I finally got to go out and celebrate our 18^th anniversary! We took the day off of work. We went to a fun restaurant at the Marriot Hotel for lunch. Then we went to see this awesome movie called “Source Code”. We definitely recommend it!

The 5K that wasn’t

So, I registered to do the “5K for K9” on Saturday. The money goes to help support the Marion Police K9 unit. However, Marisa ended up having to work, Kayla went to a slumber party, Bob and Tyler refuse to do anymore, and its too far for Alayna. I didn’t want to go alone so I didn’t go. However, I did one with Marisa around the neighborhood when she got off of work. That counts, right?

Yard Work

Bob, Alayna, and Tyler worked super hard on the yard yesterday! They got the mower blades sharpened, finished the strawberry box, plated more lettuce, etc. They also went to the driving range, but found it went out of business. So, they went to the store, bought waffle balls, and golfed in the backyard instead.

Silly Tyler

Tyler didn’t tell us he was receiving a on of awards at the Court of Honor this week so you can imagine our surprise when he got: Citizenship in the Nation Merit Badge, Aviation merit Badge, Tenderfoot and Second Class. Thank goodness Bob and the grandparents went and Corey was kind enough to take a picture.

The Domino House

Alayna spent lots of time this week being an “interior decorator” by creating several homes for her trains out of dominoes. She was very creative.
