Class Projects

The girls both have projects due this next week. Sydney's assignment was to build a leperchaun trap for St. Patrick's day. I found this idea on familyfun.com. Leperchaun's like to break the rules, so we put a sign out that says "Do not climb the ladder." So of course he will climb up the ladder to get the gold. What he doesn't know is that there is a big hole cut in the lid and when he steps on top to snatch the gold, he will fall into our little trap!

Morgan has been doing a research paper on a famous American of her choice. She chose the Wright Brothers. As part of her assignment, she had to make a paper doll that looked like her person. They had to be dressed like they did back in their day. As we all know, the Wright Brothers were the first to fly an airplane, but before they did that, they opened their own bicycle shop where they sold bicycles they had made. We had a great day crafting in the kitchen today. It was definitely a family effort. I sure hope that Jon and I...ooops, I mean the girls get a good grade on them!

Field Family said...: Isn't it crazy how many projects the kids have to do. I don't remember there being this many when we were little. You, I mean your kids, did great. Way to go.; March 9, 2009 at 11:18 AM
Laura said...: I think it is funny when we as parents have way more fun than the kids with the projects. When they get older they want to do what they want and that means they don't want my ideas and it isn't as fun for me. Oh well. Your projects looked like you had fun; March 9, 2009 at 5:36 PM

Innocence of a child....

Driving along the freeway in Lehi there is a new little amusement park called Liberty Land. They have a very large imitation of Mount Rushmore with the heads of the Presidents of the U.S. Sydney's see's it and says,"Hey, there's the Godhead!"

While passing through Farmington, NM, we saw a car graveyard. The cars were all lined up in rows and rows and more rows. Morgan says, "Hey, are those cars stuck in rush hour traffic?"

While reading how the Nephites and Laminites are always fighting, Sydney says, "How do you fought?"

Thought provoking thoughts...

A.S.A.P

Always Say A Prayer.

Don't count the days,

Make the days count.

Life is not measured by the breathes we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.

Prayer changes things.

“Don't spend your life with someone you can live with, spend it with someone you can't live without"

"If I had my child to raise all over again, I'd build self esteem first, and the house later. I'd finger paint more, and point the finger less. I would do less correcting and more connecting. I'd take my eyes off the watch, and watch with my eyes. I'd take more hikes, and fly more kites. I would stop playing serious, and seriously play. I would run through more fields and gaze at more stars. I'd do more hugging and less tugging."
