Today is…Tuesday Nov 23 2010
We prayed.
We looked at our Gospel Picture.
We discussed how the records were written and saved for our day.
Or tried to anyway.
Giant was most concerned about the orientation of the picture. He was pretty sure Mormon’s feet should be at the bottom.
Then we looked at the Morning Message.
Now, before the Message, Giant had built a spaceship that he was especially proud of. In fact, he took this picture (and several like it):
In the middle of our Message work, the spaceship crashed. Problem? Ettin interference.
Ettin apologized and gave Giant back the pieces:
We carried on.
Our focus today was sounds. I asked Giant to write what he could hear:
“Frij” [fridge] and he started writing “Heat Vent.”
But then he had to go potty.
And Ettin got the chalk.
So we were finished.
To explore sound, and because I had some deflated balloons hanging around that I had been saving just for this activity (seriously), we made little drums:
“My boon pop too?” Ettin pleaded, asking me to make him a drum too.
Then, totally unrelated to sound, we drew some roads for cars to drive on, and places the cars might go to:
We played a sound game where I made noise with some familiar toys, and Giant was supposed to guess what toy it was.
Our game ended early when Giant threw a fit about me having one of his toys under the blanket.
Later, I was showing the boys how vibrations make sounds.
Note how I brilliantly capture the vibrations of one of the elastics the boys had brought out to play with?
Yes, the boys were equally astounded.
Wow, this has been one long – snowed in – no naps – big messes kind of day.
Hooray for early to bed!
