Valentine's Love!

I think Mom typifies love.  Even if she did make us eat cornmeal mush growing up :)  This picture says it all with the way she holds Samantha--and the way she rocked each of us as we were up in the night.  Thanks for teaching us how to love, Mommie!  I love you.

Caught on Camera in Uniform At Last!

Word on the street is Rich is now working three jobs.

Chef Rich is famous

Rich is FAMOSO!!!
See here.

Good thinking of Chef Lou to put Rich in charge of the steak.  That's what we always do. : )
And cute, fun blog of Aunt Lou's.  She makes such beautiful food and displays it so elegantly.

Crafty Girls!

Go us.

Amy, a missionary now!

The other day Amy, Kevin, Laura Barrett, and I went to the Phoenix Children's Museum. As the kids were playing on a tall climbing structure, one of the workers suggested they climb into the boat and sing "Row Row Row Your Boat..." Amy climbed into the boat and said, "Let's sing, 'I am a child of God.'" Then she began singing a solo. The worker was very impressed and told us how sweet that was and how she felt privildged to have heard the song. We continued playing for a few minutes and I suggested to Amy that she could give the woman a pass-along card picture of Jesus. Amy took the card and ran and handed it happily to the woman. What a sweet little missionary I have.

Richard's delicious final

Rich and Josh Palkki were over the other night.  I asked Rich how his final went, and he said, "It was good."  And Josh said, "It was delicious!" 
Who has ever had so cool a final as getting to make an omelette, steamed fish, and more!
Now I'm trying to figure out how to become Rich's head taste tester this Cmas break!  And possibly apprentice as well.

Suzy's Famous!

Yay Suz! 

I thought it was so funny when I found this video on the desktop on my birthday. They surprised me!

Three Mad Scientists

Becca and Mom were CHAMPS to help me carry out my optimistic "Fun Day Friday" at Sage's class where we did Halloween science projects.

We started out by teaching the class about dry ice--and showed them how it made bubbling witch's brew, and you can make quarters "scream" by holding it down on a block of dry ice.  (It would have been super cool if I had remembered that all the quarters I brought were in my pocket.)  Luckily one of the teachers had some in her desk.  And bringing gloves would have been a nice measure as well.  What can I say--we were MAD scientists.  Gloves are a luxury item to them.  As are conditioner and detangler spray.

Mom taught about fingerprints, and helped the kids identify their own fingerprint patterns, and make Halloween fingerprint cards.  (Also she had the best hair of the three of us.)

Becca redefined multi-tasking at her station.  With Brooke and Micah as her "helpers," she taught 60 third graders about static electricity, and then they helped her make Halloween tissue figures "dance" using a balloon.  Then she made slime with them and let them all feel it.  Then she wrote and illustrated a children's book, and invented a cure for cancer in the few minutes left over before we switched groups.  (And she really did change a blowout diaper in the middle of this all.)  

Meanwhile I sat back and clipped my fingernails while Mom and Becca rocked the house. : )
My station was the lamest--we made invisible ink that sort of worked.  And we drank witches brew (dry ice).  

So now that it's almost Christmas, I figured it would be a good time to post about our Halloween adventures.  Punctuality is a luxury item to MAD scientists.
 And thanks to Mark for outfitting the scientists with their white "coats."
