On Sunday we opened up the trebuchet assembly kit that Grampa Russell sent us. Nico even remembered to put on his safety goggles while assembling it :) heehee.
See the video at the end to see him demonstrate how it works! Here he is the next day using the sandpaper that came with the kit to smooth out some of the rough edges on his trebuchet.
When Guy came home from work that night he had it all set up to fling the clay ball at him as soon as he came in the door.
On Tuesday Nico and I went to see GG after school. It was great to catch up with her!
Nico had a bit of a fever this afternoon after school, and a headache. Before bed tonight he said he had a tummy ache. We'll see how he feels in the morning! I'm hoping it resolves quickly for him. He seemed really interested in essential oils this afternoon after I showed him how he could look up stuff in the book to see which oils to use. He asked both Guy and I what kinds of problems we had and he looked them up and offered oils to us, then he said, "I'm an aromatherapist because I used oils, right??"
He is reading Magic Treehouse books, he is on #25. And he started reading the Amulet graphic novels again, checking them out from the library. He just finished #1, there are 7 total.
Guy is doing sound for the Christmas program at church, so he has been at practice every night this week except Monday. The performance is Sunday, with a potluck afterward. Guy has 3 weeks off from work starting Saturday!! He is very excited and ready for this work week to be over.
Video below has Nico demonstrating the trebuchet, and also some snippets from Reader's Theater at school. His teacher took video of all the kids' presentations to the Kindergarten class, and sent them to the parents. Cool that she did that! Looks like I messed up the title on the video when the Reader's Theater starts, it's supposed to say "Reader's Theater" :)
See you all next week!
