Day 71 ** Cookies! **

a dinosaur to show how many we found... writing our chips on "ten frame" bones.
We're still practicing our diggin' skills... Today we were Paleontologists again... this time digging chocolate chips out of cookies! We made

Day 70 ~Paleontologists~

Today my kiddos went on a fossil hunt! They had so much fun!

Day 68 -- Fossil Eggs --

Coffee, salt, flour, sand, water, MIX, MIX, MIX! My house reeks of coffee tonight!

Inside each little 'fossil egg' is a little plastic dinosaur. My first graders will be Paleontologists this week, as they locate their fossil egg, break it open, and begin researching the dinosaur inside. It's always an exciting time in first grade!

Day 66 ** My Girl **

I took this pic on my cell phone of my Ava gal and I.
I just LOVE my little sweetie!!

Day 65 ~ Carnegie~

I took the boys to the Carnegie Science Center today. We had a great time! Afterwards, I took them for their first trip up & down the Duquesne Incline. I took this pic from the look-out at the top of Mt. Washington.

Day 60 ~Really??~

Ok... I couldn't resist this one. I was in line checking out today, and happened to glance over at the shelf... and this is what I saw. And... I may be the only person who didn't realize these were made, but really? A snuggie for a dog??? Too flippen funny!

Day 59 ~ Olympic Endings ~

What an exciting hockey game tonight as the USA took on Canada. I snapped this picture as the game went into OT. However... I will say that Canada ended up with the Gold. I'm not at all upset with this, although I'd have loved to see USA grab it. BUT... our OWN Sidney Crosby (PITTSBURGH PENGUINS) made that winning goal!
