Blossoms, Money and Balloons

This morning Molly was a bit disappointed to see our amaryllis had dropped two of its blossoms. But don’t worry she found a good use for them!

It may seem strange that my kids have never been to the circus seeing that they are in a circus, but its true. I have issues with animals and the circus. But today we went to The Shriner Circus. It was great that my kids could identify with so much that was going on and could really appreciate all the hard work and practice the performers do. If you are thinking of taking your kids to the Shriner Circus, make sure your wallet is full. There are overpriced everythings, everywhere with tons of old men trying to get you to spend more money. I know it all goes to a good cause but enough is enough allready. Yet, all in all it was a good time.

Here is an activity that we have done many times to rave reviews. Baloon Rockets

you will need tape, string, balloons, straws.
Thread the straw onto string
Tape the string to two objects that are across the room from each other at least 10 feet -walls, chairs.
Blow up balloon and while holding it closed tape it on to the straw with open and at the string end you are on.
Then let go of balloon-the force of the air will propel the rocket forward.

Let your kids take some photos this weekend-see the kids pix post!
