Hollywood Studios LO's from our August 2008 trip

I had quite a few DHS LO's that I needed to finish up from our August 2008 trip.  Here they are!

You can click on the individual LO's to view them larger.  Thanks for looking!

WDW LO's from August 2008

These are some LO's I finished at one of my weekend crops from our August 2008 trip which was our 10th wedding anniversary.  These LO's are from pictures taken at the resort we stayed at, Port Orleans French Quarter and a few from different character meals at 1900 Park Fare at the Grand Floridian.  There is also one LO of the monorail when you were still able to ride in the front and get the kids 'co-pilot' licenses.  I hope they bring this tradition back someday, my boys miss it. 

You should be able to click on individual LO's to view them larger. 

This "Anniversary" embellishment is made out of fabric that was on

a card given to us by a dear friend.  I thought it was the perfect place for it!

....and last, but not least for this group, a monorail LO!

Stone birdhouse for silent auction basket

Well....here are the pictures of the stone covered birdhouse (first attempt ever!) that I am making to add to the Kindegarten Garden Basket that we are donating for the silent auction this weekend for our school.  These are the pictures I have up until I now.  I just finished painting the trim and will need to add a top coat to the entire thing after it dries.  I will post pictures again with the complete finished project before I let it go for the auction.

The measurements on the birrdhouse are 8X10X13.  It is 8 inches wide across the front, 10 inches in height and 13 inches from the back to the front.  It's a good sized birdhouse, not tiny like some of those unfinished houses you see at Michael's.

Science Fair 2010

Another successful Science Fair is now complete!  I wanted to share the display boards for our boy's projects.  I also did some Cricut cuts for our friend's Joe and Angela's kids for their boards that I am going to share. 

Parker isn't much on using the Cricut, but enjoys putting the cuts together.  Tanner however LOVES using Mommy's Cricut and thinks he "NEEDS" his own (he's 5!!!!!!).  He even used my Gypsy for the first time during this project.  I must have heard a million times "I can do it myself!".  It was so funny at the Science Fair to hear people say "there is no way a kid did that board!"  When in fact....YES HE DID!  I love how simple the Cricut makes everything and how it makes everything look professionally done! 

First up is Parker's display board for his Robotics project.  He made a line tracing robot and a sound seeking robot (they weren't there yet at the time these photos were taken).  He also made a few small robots to use on his display board which you will see in the photos.  The robot on the bottom was designed on the Gypsy with George.  Parker used skittles to look like lights on the robots chest. 

Next is Tanner's display board.  He had so much fun working on his experiment and project!  I was so happy when the experiment part was over!  Hearing a cowbell ring and a whistle be blown full blast every day for a week was about all that I could take! lol

The last two boards are Joseph and Maria's.  Joseph already had all his letters for his board, but wanted something to add.  I cut a microscope and some hornets for him to add.  On Maria's, I designed the tornado for her and took it over to her house.  She asked if there was anyway I could cut her a house too....no problem!  Then she let me in on the 'secret' that she was going to be dressing up as Dorothy from Wizard of Oz on the night of the Science Fair!  Well....how could I NOT make her a little Dorothy to go on her display board then?!?!  She was so excited when I brought it over to her.  She didn't want to put her on her board, instead she wanted to hang her on her bedroom wall!  Too cute!

The lights flashed on this one when he hooked it up to the battery on the back of the board.

Designed on the Gypsy with George!

Last, but not least....Maria's

Kindergarten Robin exhibit for the Science Fair

Here is a project that I worked on with Tanner's Kindergarten class.  This was a project that we worked on once a week for about 5 weeks.  The kids had so much fun and learned so much about our wonderful state bird, the robin!  There were three Kindergarten classes included in this project.  Our class made a total of 4 robins, 4 nests and 27 recylced bird houses! 

This was the finished display in the hallway leading to the gym on the night of the Science Fair. 

This was Tanner's group's Robin!

These were the other birds from our Kindergarten class

....and a couple more views of the trees and birdhouses!

Piston's Ball Boy!

We had a wonderful assembly and fund raiser with the Detroit Piston's organization and the student who sold the most tickets won the opportunity to be the pre-game ball boy!  It was a super cool experience for Parker (actually all of us)!  The best part is that he gets to return to the Palace (where the Pistons play) in April for a basketball clinic on the floor, locker room tour and a family photo opportunity with the championship trophies!!! 

Thank you Barb!
