Pinewood Derby

The Pinewood Derby is coming up and Quinn got his block of wood to make his derby car.  Don and Quinn worked on it over the weekend and it\’s ready to go.  I\’ll post more pics of their car later.  
Cutting down their block of wood.  Not sure why Quinn chose not to wear a shirt.
They filed down the wheels so the car would run smoother.  Here they are checking out the wheels to see if they are smooth.

Around Here

Quinn and I like to go to an italian bakery in Moorpark for gelato and pastries.  They also make a mean (and beautiful) cappucino.

After school chill time with his buddy.

Quinn has become quite a little helper in the kitchen.  He claims to be getting pretty good at slicing with the little knife.

And making his own pizza.  It\’s amazing how much he will eat when he makes it himself.  I guess his cooking is better than mine 😉

Before school reading with his buddy.   This kid reads so many books I have a hard time keeping him supplied.

Gorgeous winter sunrises.

I completed my Project Life album for 2015 and getting going on 2016.  Love this project!

Nuts about Science

Quinn asked to be signed up for a \”Nuts about Science\” after school enrichment program at his school.    The programs are fun and I get an extra hour before pick up.

This week they learned about Carbon Dioxide.  They put baking soda in a balloon and vinegar in a water bottle and connected the two and the CO2 blew up the balloon.

They got an extra balloon just for fun.

A little heart for mama

Creating static electricity.

And this one that is always nearby…ready to eat a balloon.
