My birthday fell on a Sunday, which means Jarom’s gone to meetings in the morning, we spend the morning getting ready for church, and get home from church around 4:30pm. So it was a busy day to say the least, but good. My visiting teachers brought me an amazing fruit dessert, and beautiful mums I planted in the garden. Jarom made dinner, which was wonderful, and Jarom and I cuddled and watched a movie that evening. It was a great day.

Camden is now 6, but yet seems so much older than that! She is very advanced in her school work, and acts older too. She is such a sweetheart. She wanted oatmeal for breakfast, we surprised her and went to Chuck E. Cheese for lunch(I have limited that to once or twice a year, so it’s a treat), and had waffles and bacon and eggs for dinner. We let the birthday person pick their own menu for the day! We did a little shopping on her birthday, and she got heely’s, which she has been very excited for. We had a small gathering with Grandma Lott and her son-in-law Rob that evening. The girls had a movie/sleepover in Cam’s room that night. We were very layed back this year, which has been nice! Happy birthday sweet Cam!

We are now in the Renaissance period, and learning about Shakespeare, amongst other things. Mrs. Rowley has taught Shakespeare, and has even taken her students to London, to watch performances at the Globe Theatre, where his plays were performed. She left us with “A mid-summers night dream,” a cleaner, kid version of course, and a lot of things to help us learn more about this poetic man. This is us and the Vezzani’s listening to Mrs. Rowley’s excitement about it all.

We watered a plant, and put a dome over it, to see if the leaves on the plant would transpire, or “sweat.” It was fun to see, and the dome even had condensation on it. We did the experiment a little too long, because you could see the reprocussions of keeping the plant covered for days instead of hours, and not receiving enough fresh air, and the plant started dying. The point was, if a plant gets too much water, it can release it through it’s leaves. Pretty cool.

Our science experiment included two of the same plants, watered the same(or closely), and one was kept in the dark, and one left out to enjoy the rays of sunlight, from the inside of the house. This experiement was done over a three day time period. It was fun to see the results, and learn more about leaves and plants. —So, the plants weren’t in the BEST condition to start with, but there was even more of a noticable difference after, even though looking at the pictures it seems one of them had an advantage to begin with.
