Ringlets!

A couple of weeks ago Margaret tried ringlets for the first time. Oh what fun! And so cute too...

Another weekend of sour candy factory and mad science

Homemade marshmallows in progress...


Margaret's marshmallows. VERY SOUR watermelon marshmallows. This is her "sour face"


Homemade lollipops. Sour raspberry flavor. Margaret can't wait to try them!

Mad Scientist (aka Caroline) making "BOB" (big old blob, or benzoide oslizine bicarbonate)


Actually, it's an experiment about combining monomers into polymers, but it looks ALOT like one of the monsters named "Bob" in the movie "Monsters vs. Aliens."

Caroline's first basket!

Today was Caroline's second basketball game. She made great progress from last week in many areas, but the biggest highlight was that she scored her first game basket! Check it out! (She's #8 in the dark blue jersey, with turquoise shorts)

The post-game interview

A very happy girl...

Too cute for words

Leavenworth whirlwind...

Just got back from our annual trek to Leavenworth to play in the snow. This year we had an abbreviated trip--just one night--so it was tough to cram in all the activities we like to do there. We managed to go innertubing at the ski hill, swimming at the hotel, walking around downtown Leavenworth at night to enjoy the Christmas lights, sledding (sort of) and a snowball fight at Enchantment Park, and ice skating in Wenatchee--all in just over 24 hours. Did I mention we didn't make it all the way to midnight to celebrate New Year's? We crashed about 9:45 after celebrating New York New Years--another OlyDoyle annual tradition. This year we were also somewhat handicapped by the fact that three of us have colds in various stages that are zapping our energy. I have a feeling we're sleeping WAY in tomorrow!!!







Happy New Year everyone!
