Five Things for Friday

Conrad's Broken Nose

The only surprising thing about Conrad breaking his nose is that it hasn't happened sooner. This little guy hit his face hard on the edge of our wooden bench (the same one that sent Eliza for stitches. It's a ruthless bench!) Immediately gushed blood and swelled up. Within a few days it still looked crooked, so he earned a trip to the ENT. They suspected a minor fracture, but nothing that needed to be reset.

Creative Play

Eliza and her dolly have matching hair.

Michael found the tiniest cast iron pan ever and of course HAD to get it. The kids keep stealing it to play with. They even named their restaurant - Tiny Pan Grill. Then Michael finds it missing and takes it back until the kids find it and sneak off with it again. Meanwhile, I sit back and laugh at the whole thing. 

Orson's niffler is always looking for shiny things and sticking them in his pouch.  

No idea what's going on here... 

Orson has been so in to Legos lately. He wakes up and builds something nearly every morning. 

Conrad being a goof

UVU campus security. If you look closely Conrad has a mustache drawn on scotch tape!

Haley gets creative too sometimes

How big can they make their human totem pole?

Learning New Things

Conrad has been more and more interested in joining us for school lately. He loves working on writing his name, and it's looking great! 

Last month I had Michael and the kids do a blood typing lab. I already knew I was A+ but Michael didn't know his blood type. The results.... Michael is O- (which is so cool because anyone can receive their blood!) Lenora is also O-. Eliza, Orson, and Conrad are all A-. Hazel's test didn't work out very well so we're not sure on hers. It was such a fun science day! 

Construction has been happening again up the street, so Conrad is learning a lot by watching them work! 

We were lucky enough to arrive at a friends house moments after one of their goats gave birth! The baby was still lying down and everything. We watched it stand up and nurse for the first time. It was so cool! They had another goat that had given birth just a few days before, so we also got to hold one of the kids. Eliza was in heaven.

Girls week/Boys week

Over Michael's spring break at UVU, he decided to take the boys to California for a few days to visit his parents. We all would have gone, but the girls had several things they couldn't miss. I think they had a great boys trip. I know they got spoiled by Jamie, Grandma, and Grandpa! 

Meanwhile, the girls and I stayed home and had a lot of fun too! We had tickets for a homeschool performance of Treasure Island at the Hale Center Theater. IT WAS AMAZING!!! I realized this was the first time my girls have ever seen a professional theater production, and they were in awe. The set was a huge highlight because there was a giant pool under the whole stage. The pirates rolled "dead bodies" in the the water, dropped in it from ropes, and swam around in the water. 

That week we also had a Bob Ross day and painted.

St Patrick's Day

We don't usually do much to celebrate St. Partick's Day, but with Hazel doing Irish Dance, we quickly realized it's a big deal for performing. Hazel was in three performances the week of St. Patrick's Day - The parade in downtown SLC, a performance at the Spanish Fork library, and a performance at a nursing home. Lots of fun and green!
