Avilene ate two servings of blueberry bagel and ate peaches for breakfast. For lunch she ate a large serving of hamburger & sausage pizza with meats, peppers, pineapple, olives, mushrooms, and tomato sauce. She had bites of whole wheat pizza crust we serve on the side, and ate pineapple on the side too.
This first picture is leftover from yesterday afternoon when Atley put on the "Grandmother" mask and Avi put on the "Woodsman" mask. Atley said, "Avi is the Dad and I'm the Grandma. Nice to meet you DaDa." Haha. Avi didn't care much because she was busy pointing out some of Atley's hair that was poking out the eye hole of the mask. Haha.
So today was "Science with Lauralea" and the theme was "Fire." Today was observation only; nothing to touch and nothing to eat!! And (most disappointing of all) nothing to take home!! Next week is "Cooking with Lauralea" so I bet there will be something to take home!! We strongly and loudly emphasized over and over that fire is dangerous and nothing to play with and they all had big eyes and were in total agreement!! :) The first experiment was a dud! Vampire Fire with hydrogen peroxide and raw hamburger. (Except the meat did basically (eventually) turn to liquid, but that wasn't the experiment.) First picture: This was step 2 of this experiment and we robbed the fire of oxygen with the glass and the flame went out in 10 seconds. Following picture: Third step of the same experiment and the fuel (in this case the candle) ran out in 11 minutes. Third picture: This had the best visuals which made it the favorite. Lauralea doused a piece of cloth with 4 tablespoons of water and 4 tablespoons of rubbing alcohol. We watched the fire burn the alcohol, but really did not damage the cloth at all because it was doused in water.
Here's a picture from Avi's art work this morning. Title: "This is my family going to a treehouse." Dad the tallest, then Mom, and 4 children. My favorite part: Avi is the biggest of the children. Haha! Avi is right in front of Dad, then left to right it's "Svea, Sylvie, and Peter."
