Melting Ice

I love finding little science experiments on Pinterest to do with the girls.  This one was rather easy, and the girls really loved it.  You fill up latex gloves with water, which look really creepy, by the way, and freeze them.  Once frozen, the girls put salt on them to watch them melt.  We watched a little video on Youtube first, explaining how they use salt to melt snow.  They had lots of fun melting one, and then they each took one in the tub!

Splash Pad Fun

The girls and I were bored so decided to go on a lunch date to Red Robin, and then to a splash pad.  I think they were most happy to go to the pet shop that is near the splash pad!  We also went into a clothing store and picked up a couple of outfits for second grade!

Last week of school

Wow, Hailey is no longer a first grader!  That is SO crazy to me.  I was just crying over her going to kindergarten and now she is on her way to second grade!  Tuesday her school had their end of year singing program and talent show.  Hailey's class sang the cutest little song!  For the talent show, she really wanted to sing.  I feel guilty now that we didn't have her do it.  They sent a flyer letting parents know that we had to provide music and everything.  I assumed it was at the school, in the playground area, and I knew we didn't have a radio or anything to bring, so we convinced Hailey to recite the preamble to the constitution, by memory, which she is AWESOME at!!  Anyhow, a couple days before the talent show, we found out it was going to be at the principal's church, with a stage and music equipment.  By then, it was too late.  She did a great job, but really wanted to sing.  Next year she is definitely going to if they have another talent show!! 

Wednesday was the last actual day of school.  Thursday was a swim party.  The school had the use of the COOLEST pool ever!!  It's a huge community pool owned by four really fancy houses!  They had their own playground, massive pool with huge cliffs to dive off, a rope to "tarzan" off the cliffs into the water, two water slides, a huge kiddie pool, huge hot tub and awesome splash pad.  Hailey had a blast.  She played with friends but mostly hung out with her teacher, it was so cute.  Hailey had been crying the past few days because she was sad about not seeing her teacher again (we found out she wouldn't be teaching next year).  However, when I told her teacher this, she told Hailey she would be helping in her class next year, which made Hailey very happy!!

 First and last day pictures of first grade.  She looks

a little more grown up to me!

Pics from the pool party.....

 

 She was a bit nervous when she first got there.

 I couldn't believe how high the cliffs were!  You

cannot tell by this picture, but it was HIGH!

 The fun splash pad.  The kids LOVED it 

when the bucket dumped water on them.

Hailey gives Addy a makeover

It was already bedtime when I had to run an errand, and I told the girls that they had to go to bed as soon as I got back.  Well, when I got back, Hailey was working hard at something in the living room, but she wouldn't let me look.  I wasn't feeling well, and really wanted to tell them that they had to stop whatever it was they were doing and go to bed, but I'm glad I didn't, because it was so cute!  Hailey gave Addy a makeover, complete with a nice dress, a lovely hairdo, painted nails and even a little blush!  Addy felt very special ♥♥  I love it when our girls play good together!
