Science Fair 2015

One of our favorite nights of the year is the Woodridge Elementary Science Fair!  All THREE of our kids entered the fair with displays this year.  It is a lot of planning and work, but super fun to see the kids take on this challenge.  They have to answer questions and explain their work to others.  They also love reading through the nice compliments that they get on their “comment sheet” that is posted near their display.   This whole science fair is primarily for fifth graders, so I was proud of Greta being only one of four kindergarteners to join in.  I think there were only about ten first graders, too.   The kids loved doing this!

Hailey asked the question “How much sugar is in your food?”

Greg turns 40!

We had a great party for Greg to celebrate that he is hitting the big 4-0!   It was a very fun evening and we had about forty of our friends joining us for the evening.  We rented a private party room at The Garage Billiards downtown in Seattle.  The evening included lots of pool playing, plus yummy food for all….. oh, and two cakes!   Lots of friends from many different parts of Greg’s life showed up, giving him fun cards and lots of love.  It was a fabulous evening and we all love our dear Greg!  Happy 40th Birthday, babe!
