Today Uncle Tim took us to the neighborhood park and had the boys help
him build a trebuchet (catapult). First they tried to lift the 25lb dumb
bell. Then they used the lever part of
the trebuchet to lift the 25kb dumb bell to see how much easier the lever made
the job. Then they launched tennis balls
and water balloons to see the difference in distance they would go based on the
items’ weight. Finally we used our body
weight to increase the force on the lever to see how far the items would
go. It was a BLAST!!!
After Uncle Tim and the boys dismantled
the trebuchet we headed back to the house for lunch. After lunch we opened presents from Uncle Tim
and Aunt April. We played with our new
toys!! Then Uncle Tim had to go to work
for a couple hours. Simon took a nap and
the older boys played hard J When Tim got home he made us super tender
chicken to make fajitas. We ate quickly
as Aunt April’s mom got 6 free passes to the opening showing of Brave!! Ian couldn’t decide if he wanted to go to the
movie. He decided to stay home and
play. Joey found out and decided to stay
home with cousin Ian. So Mommy, Aunt
April, Alan and Eddie went to see BRAVE!!
When we were taking the exit to hwy23 it was
way backed up so we off roaded to take the next exit down. We got to the theatre with time to spare J They
delayed the show about 10min for those people stuck in the traffic on hwy
23. The showing was for employees of
Wells Fargo Banking and their families.
Thank you Mrs. Zeoli for sharing them with us!!! The movie is AWESOME and will be part of our
family collection as soon as it comes out on DVD. I think the soundtrack will be added to
itunes soon as well.

Today we had French toast for
breakfast. Then we played more with Ian and Simon!! We had leftovers for lunch and played
outside. When Simon took his nap Uncle
Tim got out the new sprinkler. We played
in that for a while. Then it turned into
a water WAR!! We took baths/showers when
we came inside. Then we played some more
J When
Simon woke up we had a snack while Uncle Tim showed us how to butterfly and
brine a chicken. We had the chicken and
roasted red potatoes and zucchini for dinner.
Then we walked to the park to play. Uncle Tim showed Mommy some tricks
on the big camera. Then Mommy and Aunt
April went to the store to get ice cream for night night snack. It was yummy!!
