Little Scientist

T was sharing a science experiment with us this afternoon. We watched marker colors race and expand down a paper towel when dipped in water. We could see that orange and yellow are in red and blue and green are in aqua.

Very neat, Finn!

Back to the Zoo

We're still a tad under the weather but really needed to leave the house.

The face paint just never gets old, does it?

Parent Teacher Conference

I had Seamus' first Parent Teacher Conference today.

Mrs. Georges says that the boy pictured above is sweet, quite and a pleasure to have in class.

Seamus is meeting all of his developmental goals and is overall doing a great job in preschool.  Mrs. Georges says that she is sure that "he is always going to be a good student in the future."  He only go a less than stellar remark for following classroom rules.  He apparently runs in the classroom and make weapons out of toys :)

Willy

We had Will over for the afternoon. They constructed many roads for the Hot Wheels, played with The Elephant game and made "Shrinky Dinks". Saoirse was welcome for the playdate...most of the time.

Now we're all just pretty tired!

Sick Babies

Seamie and Saoirse are home sick from school with fevers. They're the kind of sick where they are acting totally fine yet have 100 degree temps. Grrrr...no quite Tuesday for me.

Happy Birthday Ellen!

No cupcakes were rubbed on her belly, but we had a good time none the less.
