We are in the groove!

We had a jam packed week of Valentine activities, story time, and we even experienced our first smog check for the vehicles.  (Not something I want to experience again with the kiddos!)  Now with the smog checks behind us we've got CA license plates.

Having a little fun with numbers!  

I may get her playing Yahtzee with me in no time!

Whipping up a little Fun Dough!

               
 Combine equal parts of conditioner and corn starch.

Love to see these serious faces hard at work!

Ellie was referring to at as oozing dough!

  Another messy but fun project! 

We sealed it up in a ziploc bag when we were done and the next day it was more mold-able then oozy.

We made special Valentine treat we found in my Family Fun binder.  They turned out super cute and were tasty too.  I'm not a candy cane fan but with the white chocolate in the middle mmm, it was yummy!

Our little taste tester approved too!

Working hard on her Valentine's!
We cut her shaving cream art work into hearts for her special Valentine's!

We decided to make a trip to LA on a whim and visited Exposition Park.  We went to the California Science Center and got to see the Space Shuttle Endeavour!

Sitting pretty under a jet, which she was referring to as a rocket.

Ellie getting some height she was so excited!

Having fun dancing to his own beat!

 

This little guy loved playing in these little construction zone houses, he was playing a little peek a boo!

Doin' a little fishin'!

We had a great time exploring LA!  We drove around to see the Hollywood sign and a few other popular tourist spots while the kiddos napped after playing so hard!  We look forward to making another trip back.  The drive through the mountains just to get there and back has such spectacular views! We are constantly in amazement!
