Hands on Science!

It was a busy weekend with a family get together on Saturday and a birthday party for one of Sid's friends early Sunday morning. The meltdowns were plentiful and we knew we had one absolutely exhausted preschooler on our hands. We turned our focus to home time and just hanging out with Dad on Sunday afternoon and Mom on Monday. We had so much fun and learning by just being home and doing what we felt like.

Sunday Sid spent the afternoon in the garage with Grandpa and Daddy working on the plane. Below you can see how she pulled her tools out and was under the airplane. Daddy got her the creeper and showed her how she could roll under it. She thought that was the coolest thing. It was a real pride moment for Daddy and Grandpa!

Monday we had our music class but decided to skip it and have a pajama day instead. A nice relaxing day to just play! Sid had oodles of fun with her magnets and got a kick out of putting the wand under a piece of paper and then dragging magnetic marbles on top. We drew roads for her to drag the magnets along, then we experimented with moving the magnets through different mediums like this bubble wrap bag. It was so neat to watch her face as she discovered new science.

We were supposed to go to the pumpkin patch today but the weather did not cooperate at all. Very cold, rainy with some snow and strong winds. We might get to go next week!

Ken has the parts he needs to mount the engine on the plane and is anxious to get that done. It is nice to see the plane back in the garage as they get it ready for its first inspection.
This past weekend hockey was very busy with a league game Friday and Sunday and house league game Saturday. Good times with friends but I am thankful that I don't play that often every week! We have moved up a division and are carrying fewer skaters so I am seeing a lot of rubber. I am getting my monies worth this year!
