OB-LA-DI........... OB-LA-DA

You are right Beatles.....life does go on

This year SMES had a Spring Expo

Calista was very excited about this and decided to do a science project

Mr. Smitty and his blue-eyed scientist decided to make a shake light

Do you know what is inside a shake light???

Well, apparently there are VERY strong magnets in shake lights

AND

While building said science project, the little blue-eyed scientist forgot about the SEVERAL times her father and I warned her to please keep the magnets away from the laptop......

One minute we were coiling magnetic copper wire around a tube

AND

The next minute our girl said, "Mom, you are so right, the laptop does have a magnetic pull."

Oh yes I just said that.......

Cali learned that when we say something she needs to listen

AND

I learned to start backing up my pictures every week maybe?

A year and a half worth of pics G-O-N-E......

BUT

OBLADI, OBLADA.......
She did have fun with her Daddy making it.....

She did win 2nd place (she could have won 100th and we would've been proud)......

AND

She has those big blue eyes......oh the eyes.....

TRUE

I am blogging on a Commodore 64

Okay, so that statement is a little dramatic

Let's just say this laptop, not as nice as the one with the "magnetic pull"

She actually entered two projects....the other one was a class project about recycling

(no magnets needed for that one)

Look..at my magnetic project :)

We were also lucky enough to hear the amazing SMES choir sing their hearts out

I love to hear kids sing, it makes every part of my soul smile

Here are some of our favorite choir members hanging out before the show

4th Grade is almost over....

Our girl has 1 good foot and soon to have 2

AND

The summer is coming

This means our girl will swim her heart out

Lala how the life goes on...

And if you want some fun...take Ob-la-di-bla-da

True Dat, Ringo.....True Dat!
