Here is Nathan busy reading literature for school. This loveseat is his spot for doing his school work. Isn't that a comfortable way to get your schoolwork done?
Lorissa and Nathan are taking chemistry this year, so that involves doing some experiments. Sometimes we sort of have to make do with our lab equipment. We needed two test tube this week so champagne glasses were the best thing we could think of. The left glass has water and salt, the right glass has vegetable oil and salt. This was to see what happens when you put an ionic compound in a polar covalent and a purely covalent substance.
I have had some fun sewing for Lorissa and Renee. I made each of them a skirt using a homemade pattern. I like the style but it does require some changes as you go. We only bought one yard of fabric per skirt and that was a bit skimpy to easily cut them out, but it worked. I also need the girls handy so I can get it to fit right. Fabric prices are somewhat reasonable if it is on sale or if you have a coupon for JoAnns. It is hard to find good dresses and skirts in the stores. Got any good pattern sugestions for summer dresses that are easy to sew?
Keith loves to swim so much that he had to try the pool out on March 12. The air temerature was around 70 degrees and the water was a refreshing 60 degrees.
