When Scooter comes over

Lots of ham and cheese is involved. No, not the kind you eat, the kind where when Scooter sees a camera, it's CHEESE all over the place!! He is a riot. He loves Thomas the tank engine, so those get a lot of use when he's here.

Scary Josha

Jacob actually sat down and played WITH him. I saw he was doing that in school the other day when he visited the regular class. It was cute.

CHEESE!!

I made brownies :o) They were gone 2 days later...........

Wait, is that a camera???

It IS!!! It is a camera!!!

Check me out!!!!

I'm the CUTEST!!!

"I watch dis movie rosie cat!!"

We just love having him over :o)

Now let's go to the Bakken Museum........

...and take a bunch of wild hyped up 4th graders with us!!! Nick's class has gone on a LOT of field trips this year, this was the 7th one, and there's one more next Friday. I usually get there about 10 minutes before we leave, so I sat in the back of the class waiting for them to finish the morning meeting. There was a lady sitting at the teacher's desk and I thought hmmm, that's a weird place for a chaperone to sit. She's bold. ha. Mr Searl introduced her, and it was his mom! Cute! So we left, and the kids were SO wound up. For some reason his class always sits in the back of the bus (I think I'm boycotting that next time!) and they are LOUD. I had never heard of this museum before, but it was really cool. We got to do experiments with magnets and electricity.

Dani is in blue....Her family has gone to our church for a long time. Nick is a week older than Dani.

Nick and a compass.

Me and Emily D. (my friend Jenni's 2nd oldest)

She took this

The crowd at lunch time. Mr Searl's mom is on the left there LOL

Nick was dragging the garbage can in. I'm surprised he had enough muscle for it ;-)

This was a cool machine. You hold the left knob, and turn the right one. As you turn it, current flows through and you feel it in your hands. The more you turn it, the stronger it gets. Most of the kids didn't get very far.

Mr Searl got a little over halfway around

I got about 3/4 of the way around....ha I beat him ;-) After you let go it feels as though your hands were asleep and were trying to wake up.

There were other things you can do like check your heart rate, look at X rays and stuff.

This is on the way back

Let's go to the zoo..........

and bring a bunch of kindergarteners with us!! Make sure 5 of those have Autism, and one of *those is yours, and you'll be good and tired by the end of the day :o) (or 3 o clock in my case) Yes it was Jacob's turn for a field trip. I was nervous about this seeing as whenever we take him anywhere we have the stroller and DS along, but he did pretty good. He still wants to be carried around which drives me nuts..and he's way too heavy for!!! Here he is in front of the monkeys...it wasn't very good weather yesterday either.
