Matthew created this robot costume.

Playing with Tegu blocks and dominoes.

Megan helping at AZCEND.

Blue tongue. That's not normal....

Nice hat, mom.

We dissected an owl pellet that we found in our yard. Pretty cool stuff!

Megan with our completed Arizona puzzle.

Matthew rigged up a rope course in our yard.

Sarah's new skateboard.

We made gak (a type of slime) one Science Saturday.

Megan stretches the gak.

Megan loved playing with the gak. Not shown: She decided to make a sculpture of intestines with it. The sculpture did look like intestines.

Megan lost two teeth in one day. The first one she lost had been loose for awhile so it wasn't surprising when it came out one evening. She then noticed that the tooth next to it was a little loose. She prayed that it would come out soon and then worked on the tooth, pulling it out later that night.

Megan with the food she prepared for the tooth fairy.

The missing teeth

Nice set up for the tooth fairy with a place to rest. There is some food and water on the left and the teeth on the right. 

This shows Megan's letter to the tooth fairy as well. Her hope was that she would be able to fly. Unfortunately, the tooth fairy wasn't able to grant that request but she did give her something to take before bed so that she would dream she was flying.

Matthew with his chicken sundae dinner. He tends to set his plate up as a battle field, with the Great Wall of China (aka the pineapple) delineating the two sides.

U has made Matthew some fancy lunches.

Turtles in a tree.

Ants in a hill

The reality of online learning at times.

Me's artwork.

Carrot cookies. Megan and Matthew wrapped cookie dough around carrots. They were interesting.

Matthew with his utility belt. It includes a sword, 2 Pez dispensers (whips), a harmonica, a train, a whistle, bandaids, a football, a dart gun, a crossbow, a flashlight, and lots of hangers.

U with a pile of snow. We enjoyed having a snowball fight.

Matthew and his crazy hair.

Sarah: I lived without cheese for 2 days!

Me: I lives without cheese for 2 and a half years.

Background: Sarah decided to try a vegan diet for a couple of days. She really likes cheese and was proud she went without it for 2 days. Me didn't eat dairy while nursing Matthew due to his dairy allergy.

Matthew: I am the defender of mommy!

Megan told us that she was half legs, so we measured her. Turns out, she's more than right. Her legs are 30 inches while the rest of her body is 27 inches. Matthew, on the other hand, has a leg length of 25 inches while the rest of his body is 26 inches. Sarah's legs are approximately the same length as Megan's. (Leg measurements were taken from the ground to the top of the legs.)
