This and That

It was a week filled with dentist appointments, orthodontist appointments, music lessons, parent/teacher conferences, and lots of Bishoping for Adam but I don't have a single picture of any of it, of course, because why would you take pictures of such things?  It's the stuff that keeps you busy but isn't exactly blog worthy. As I sat down to write I found only one picture of Jenna with her Science Fair project before she left for school on Friday.

No, there wasn't a weird smudge, just my rookie attempt at removing the last name from a photo.
Yes, another science fair project is D-O-N-E.  I'm not going to lie, I personally loathe any and all science fairs.  Like all of her peers and her brother before her Jenna procrastinated and had to whip it all together in about 24 hours. This did nothing to improve my opinion of the science fair in general and we were both happy to have it done.  Another 5th grade science fair is officially behind us.

I did find a few pictures on my cell phone, but they are more of the "found Jameson doing something he shouldn't be doing and needed to document it" variety.  What happens when you are doing the dishes and realize that Jameson is not still playing in the family room ?  You go look for him, of course.  I found him in my bathroom playing in my sink..


It was full of water and soap bubbles and all sorts of treasures, like my toothbrush.  He's always ready to cheese it up for any camera, especially when he is super proud of what he is doing.

After I got him down and went into the other room to get a diaper to change him I heard my bedroom door close behind me.  By the time I got the diaper and opened my bedroom door again he had crawled in my bed and was pretending to be asleep.  I started laughing out loud and he couldn't contain himself and started laughing, too. What a ham. When I told him to lay back down so I could get a picture he was all too happy to oblige.

"Sleeping" Jameson. Quite an actor if you ask me.
During that same day I found him unwrapping all of my bullion cubes in the cupboard.  He's handy that way.  He just saved me a nano-second of prep time the next time I make soup. What a "big helper."

Britton went on the Klondike campout Friday night.


He lucked out since the snow was gone and it wasn't THAT cold meaning it only got down to 20 degrees.  That's downright balmy if you ask scouts that camp during winter in the great white north.  Remember Adam's -7 degree campout last winter? Yeah, 20 degrees is nothing. (Have I mentioned lately how glad I am that I never had to do scouts?) Britton had a great time and since they camped only a mile from home Adam was able to get him the next day in time for his indoor soccer game without him having to miss any fun. Win-Win.

Truth be told - my kids have never done a major science fair project. And I'm totally okay with that - whew!

Jenna's birthday looked fun! That Jameson is a ham. Too funny!
