The video clip at the end explains our funniest moment--I don't know why I have to talk so much when I run the video! Also need to remember not to hold the camera sideways...hmmm.

In the video Wyatt basically says, "We're going on a Shark Tooth Hunting Mission to find shark teeth, maybe megalodon teeth, without getting ate'n (eaten)."

Pacific Science Center

Two moms and their five kids went on a Spring Break field trip. We loved the Pacific Science Center in Seattle and hope to go back again.  We really enjoyed the tropical butterfly habitat, the dinosaur exhibition, and the science demonstrations.

March catch-up





 
 This should sum up last month's accomplishments: We had a student of the month with a missing tooth, a 100-month old with peace of pi, and a sock thief who likes to "give five."

Burlap bunnies

Okay, I went on a burlap bunny binge.  I know this comes a little late for bunny season, but they are so fun to make!  You really cannot mess them up and they make a great sewing project for beginners.  Cut two pieces of burlap into a rectangle--maybe 5"x3".  You can draw a bunny form on the burlap with sharpie marker and zig-zag stitch on the lines. (Or just free-sew if you like to skip steps).  Start stitching at the bottom and go up around and back down-leave the bottom open.  I did sew around the ears for my kids.  Stuff fluff (someone suggested cotton balls might work if you don't have stuffing on hand).  It's not necessary to stuff the ears.  Now sew the bottom closed, and cut excess burlap from around the stitching, just don't cut into your stitches.  Draw details on with a sharpie.  I tried some embroidery, but liked the simple and rustic look better.  Add ribbon, buttons, etc for fun.  I also sponged on some pink stamp ink. 

Carson made accessories for his bunny.
Wyatt was pretty proud of his first sewing project.
