Go Blue Vipers!

Graham had his soccer team party yesterday evening. The coaches got medals and trophies for the boys and made a little presentation ceremony of it.

 I'm glad we are doing soccer right now with the kids. They really enjoy it. In fact, I have to get after Graham for kicking balls (of any size!) around in the house!

"I think this season was great! I think this was my best team ever! I really liked my coaches. One of my team-mates was my friend from church, Logan Slaugh! and I really like my team-mates. They were really good at passing and controlling the ball and they made a lot of goals. So did I!"
Love,
Graham

Big dental work

Graham had some cavities in between come of his molars...the dentist told him that the tooth fairy would pay more for silver-capped teeth!

his biggest numb smile

he is actually laughing out loud here!

Eye Dissection!

"In our homeschool co-op, I am taking a Dissection Class!

Today we dissected a cow's eye!

We used a scalpel and cut straight down very carefully. It was slimy. In the middle of the eye we found a marble-like thing. It was like half of a cream colored marble, this was the pupal. the next par around it was the iris. In the cave that held the pupal it was like shiny blue and turquoise - it was really cool!

This is the diagram I drew of the eye. I learned that when you shine a flashlight at the eye, it shines."
