Elizabeth Field Trip

Elizabeth's last field trip in the first grade was to a Science Center and she was so excited since they would miss the entire day of school for it, ride on chartered buses, and her mom got to go too!


They had a weather station where Elizabeth got to stand in front of the green screen and pretend to be the meteorologist.
She was so excited afterwards when her segment was "aired" and she got to see herself on the TV.

I'm glad there wasn't really a hurricane heading our way!

I think Elizabeth spent almost an hour here with these boards. She loved making hand and face prints and then coming around to the other side to see how it looked. Kinda reminds me of a bug on the windshield :)
Next she was an archaeologist digging for dinosaur bones. I think she found one!

Speaking of old bones, this is the fossil of an ancient sea turtle. Man that thing was big!


Testing her strength, she got to pull herself up at this station .
Yet another of her favorites. If placed just right the ball would stay suspended in the streams of water. I can only imagine what Joseph would have done at this station :)

This is the only station where Elizabeth wished her daddy was there instead of me. This plane is in a sort of wind tunnel and if the controls are done right it was supposed to fly. I personally think the thing was broken because we never did get it to take off.
There was also an aquarium in the Science center. Elizabeth had the most fun watching the turtles. I think that's because over the preceding weeks she and her daddy rescued two different turtles from the middle of the road. Did I ever mention Elizabeth wants to be a wild animal rescuer when she grows up (at least for now)?


Live Bait :)

Here they learned about some different dinosaurs and Elizabeth got to help out a little.
In the optical illusion section she was fascinated at how different she looked in height depending on where in this unique house she stood. Really short . . .

Or really tall :)
It was a really fun trip and I was so glad to go and spend the day with Elizabeth.

Twins in Trouble

Image
The twins were supposed to be in their beds in their room watching a movie for quiet time while Joseph was taking a nap today. I heard them in the kitchen and asked them why they were out of their room. They instantly started saying "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry" so naturally I went to see what they were so sorry about. When I saw them I put them in the tub right away and asked them what happened . . . They some how managed to get into Elizabeth's ink and stamp set and decided to decorate themselves and their bedroom. You can tell by the look on Sarah's face she knows she is in trouble. And Emily doesn't seem any happier. They colored their beds Elizabeth's Bed And the rug on their floor. After their bath they spent the next two hours scrubbing everything they touched in the kitchen, their ink footprints off the floor, and the rug in their room. They were not happy with the manual labor, but were smart enough not to complain. I'm hoping th...

And the diagnosis is . . .

Friday morning Emily woke up with a fever. By Sat night it got up to 105! Boy was she a sick baby. Sun morning while Andrew took Elizabeth and Sarah to church I took Emily to Primed. Her WBC was high (21) so the doc new it was a bacterial infection and gave her a shot of antibiodics. He didn't run any other tests though so we didn't know where the infection was. (I was kinda frustrated about that) Even with motrin and tylenol she ran a nasty fever the rest of the day. Monday I took Emily to her regular Dr who ran all kinds of tests and discovered my poor baby girl had Pnemonia!!! She got another shot of antibiodics and was put on oral antibiodics for 10 days. Her oxygen level was great so I got to take her home, but I have to take her back in a week for a repeat chest x-ray to make sure the pnemonia is gone. Sarah started running a fever Sunday night so the doctor did a work up on her and found she had elevated WBC too so she was put on antibiodics as well to fight off the inf...
