January going next?

Just some memories of the first month of an exciting new year...watching the lights one last time for the season...kids met me at work for a MooYah shake...Sam started playing basketball (and really gets so much better each week, he has done really well)...Date night at Les Miserables (AMAZING!...ONE MORE DAY...ONE DAY MORE...my favorite song)...dave gets braces...a visit with my buddy Bob...some toys are found (This is the Lone Ranger that's leg broke off, and granddaddy fixed him with a nail, and that nail is still there...rusty nail in my knee...sounds like a good rock song)...and more robotics.  That's it for January, guess we will see what the groundhog will bring.

 

Career Day

So this year went by without any inadvertent curse words from me...so I would call that a win.  Me and Magan have our spiel pretty much down pat by now...had to improvise a bit when I looked into my bag and found my circuits had fallen apart...but that happens every once and awhile right?  I don't know if they remember what we say anyway, but they remember we were there.  Love these little visits.

 

 

 

AHG - Space and Games

Magan asked me if I would be able to teach the tenderhearts (1-3 grade) for a couple of AHG meetings, and that I could teach two badges related to space...YES!  Of course I had to act like this was tough, but I have more fun teaching these things than the kids do.  And for the first meeting, Ruby as a pathfinder got to join us.  We first earned our Space Exploration badge and made the solar system, acted out the Appollo 11 moon mission, and made constellation makers to view in the dark.  Ruby was an excellent mission control back in houston as the tenderhearts all traveled to the moon.

 

For our second badge, we earned our Living in Space badge, where we learned about the space shuttle, made some space pudding, and read a book about one of the first female astronauts, Mae Jemison from Alabama.  Ruby did not get to join us for that meeting, but she was excited to build a space shuttle with me at home.  And while we were working on these badges, anabelle worked on similar explorer requirements and they actually built a space habitat. 

 

And the girls met their fundraiser goal of 125 Krispy Kreme cards...so they got to have a silly string party.  And imagine that, they also had some donuts to eat at the party.
