Science, Swimsuits & Curls

Spencer and his friend Joe participated in the high school science fair again this year. Their project focused on engineering a way to capture and use energy from lightning. The boys put in a lot of hard work and hours. Unfortunately at the judging on Sat., one judge pointed out a few flaws in their execution. They are planning to rework some of the project in time for the state competition.

I ended up exchanging Claire's new swimsuit (featured in my last post). The strap was too tight on her neck. She seems to like this one, which is technically a 2-piece. And it has a monkey on it, which is good since she loves her sock monkey. We are planning to take her somewhere to swim on Saturday.
As I mentioned Claire loves her sock monkey. She carries him around, puts him 'night-night' in her crib and frequently tries to put a diaper on him. Last night she even wanted him to wear the pajamas I was trying to put on her (which we did).

While shopping (at Target again) over the weekend, we picked up some sponge rollers for Claire. I put them in her hair while she watched her favorite Justin Bieber video and voila! A few hours later she had beautiful curls.

We weren't going anywhere Sunday, so shortly after I took out the rollers she went down for nap and the curls were flattened. Kind of a fun lazy day activity. I don't know many almost 18-mo. olds that have the hair for this project.

Just a cute photo
