Both kids were up unusually early this morning. They weren't very interested in snuggling in bed either. So we came out to the couch and started reading. After a couple books I suggested they grab the stack of "science books" we got at the library yesterday. So we read a few books about the human body and the skeleton. I had them feel each other's spines, which apparently stuck with them as they told Jon about it tonight. Then we took a break for breakfast. Afterwards we read one final skeleton book and then set to work on the "experiment". I taped some paper onto the front window and had them each stand up against it so we could trace them. I then drew in some of the bones. We talked about the names of some of them. Carolyn enjoyed drawing a brain into each head. She gave James 2 brains - do you think that means she believes he's super smart? It was a fun project and both kids were excited to show Jon when he got home. We'll see how long it lasts on the window.
I had intended to do an art project of snowflakes this afternoon. But with temperatures near 50, we had a snack and went outside instead. The kids played while I took down most of the Christmas decorations. I packed them all away and organized the garage as well. We now truly have room to work out in there and I discovered we should have as much room as I want to bring things from AZ. So I just have to figure out what makes sense to ship. Felt good to get that accomplished today since Jon starts track 2 weeks from tomorrow.
Tomorrow I had planned to head to the museum. But I'm going to see whether the forecasted rain develops. If the weather holds we may go to the Grove instead. I figure not too many schools are likely scheduled there this time of year. So we might be able to see some of the cooler things. Carolyn would love to see some of the things we've read about in her Little House books.
