The real snow creature- A Duck

Much better!  It actually looked like what we were trying to make!



Weston did most of the shape directing


Little duckling : )


Our Bathroom is mostly painted now!  (The walls are dark blue)

NASTY!  I think this is my biggest cooking failure yet!!!!  But I learned never to try thickening a white sauce with corn starch!!!  Haha....  It formed a gel and all the liquid syneresed!

Look at all our snow!  I actually pulled one of my pec muscles one day while shoveling.  It hurt pretty bad for a while and I keep re-hurting it...  one day it'll heal.  Luckily I know what the pain is so it doesn't bother me all that much.




Free admission to the Imagination station through the Alumni association!!!!!  So awesome : )  We met up with some friends and that was cool.  We both got to ride a bike on a wire from the 2nd floor!


Cool harp that played by sensing where his fingers were.  But it was weird because they had the long "strings" as the high notes.  I thought harps were the other way.


Plumbing : )

Cool yo-yo.  I ALMOST made it to the top.  But I stopped because it was taking a long time to move up those last 3 inches or so.  We also made squares on the round sand table!  (it was hard to do)


Wind tunnel, testing out how airplane wings catch air!




Watching them build an ice sculpture at the zoo!  Way cool.  Impressive.  Mostly I was amazed at the confidence of his strokes.

Cheetahs : )



We watched the cockatiel for a while in Nature's neighborhood!  It was struting it's stuff and flaring it's wings and puffing up it's crown a lot!


Siku was looking for attention and came right up to the glass and looked through a couple times.

The animal that we get to pet!!!!!  Here she is rubbing her face on my hand.

I finally gave Weston his birthday scavenger hunt!  Thank you for those that sent me things you liked about him : )  I used the gps and made him hike through the snow to find them.  It was a good end to a frustrating day I hope.
